Alright, so here’s the deal.  We’ve all heard of Abel reels, and we all know that their considered one of the finest fly reels on the market.  But how many of you have ever actually tried one?  To combat this common scenerio, Abel has come up with the ABEL REEL CHALLENGE.  Here’s how it works:

• You come by Trout’s and demo one of our special ABEL REEL CHALLENGE Super 4 or Super 5 reels for free (see above for a glance at the goodness)
• When you bring the reel back, fill out a short questionaire about your experience.  We’ll then send it into Abel.
• If you decide to then purchase one of these fine reels (which you will, trust us), you’ll get the a FREE color upgrade and laser engraving.  This is a $115 dollar value!!!  Oh, we almost forgot the best part, you also get a FREE ABEL Hat.  That’s right, a free hat!

So what are you waiting for.  Given that this whole deal will cost you nothing, you have no excuse to not give one of these reels a try.
