Underwood Graphic Reels - Every now and then, we come across an artist whose work naturally fits Abel's palette of custom finishes. This time, that artist is Casey Underwood. Each of these original designs was created to correspond with a specific model in the Abel lineup. Individually laser engraved, and put through a proprietary polishing/texturizing process, these reels feature an innovative, first of its kind finish. Though complicated, the process requires less time than our hand-anodized graphic finishes, allowing for a Base Price + $225 premium on gloss black. For solid colors there is an additional fee of $125.00.
Solid color reels, spare spools and custom fish finishes are available. Each is slightly unique and every order is special. Please allow 4-6 months for delivery.
