Winner of Best New Freshwater Reel for 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine and Best of Show at the 2017 ICAST IFTD industry trade show, the Sealed Drag Fresh (SDF) was born when Abel moved to Colorado and the surrounding trout water inspired the team to take freshwater performance to a new level.

Abel SDF Fly Reel Ported — Gloss Black 4/5 WT with Gloss Black Knob and Ebony Handle

The best freshwater reel Abel has ever built, machined right here in Montrose. Winner of Best New Freshwater Reel for 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine and Best of Show at the 2017 ICAST/IFTD industry trade show, the Sealed Drag Fresh (SDF) was born when Abel moved to Colorado and the surrounding trout water inspired the team to take freshwater performance to a new level. The result is a sealed drag freshwater reel with the kind of stopping power and refinement once reserved for saltwater — and this ported all-black configuration combines that performance with the lightweight, modern aesthetic Abel is known for.

Built for 4 and 5 weight rods, the ported SDF is the do-it-all trout reel for serious anglers. Whether you are throwing dries on the Uncompahgre, working soft hackles through riffles, or running nymph rigs on pressured tailwaters, the SDF's stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer drag delivers up to 10 pounds of stopping power with virtually zero start-up inertia. The drag adjustment range is nearly three times that of its predecessor, giving you fine control on light tippet and serious authority when a fish makes a run.

The ported frame removes excess material to drop weight without sacrificing strength, giving you a noticeably lighter reel in hand and the unmistakable Abel silhouette. Paired with the all-black finish, black drag knob, and ebony handle, this version of the SDF is one of the cleanest, stealthiest reels in the freshwater lineup. Every SDF is hand machined by Abel's master machinists in Montrose, Colorado. When you buy an Abel from Ed's Fly Shop, you are buying a reel made by our neighbors right here in our hometown.

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Solid interactive automatic vibrating dog ball toy
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Picked up this ITEHZTO interactive automatic vibrating dog ball for our pup and it’s a fun, engaging toy that keeps her entertained. It’s rechargeable with USB, motion-activated, and has a good vibrating/rolling action that gets her chasing and playing on her own. The durable build seems like it can handle some rough play, and it’s a nice size for indoor or outdoor use. It lights up or vibrates when activated which adds extra excitement, especially during evening playtime. Battery life is decent and recharges quickly. Great for when she needs mental and physical stimulation without me having to throw a ball constantly. Overall a solid interactive dog toy that does a great job keeping active dogs busy. Good value if your dog loves chasing moving/vibrating toys!

Built-in USB-C solves the power issue, but it is strictly for moderate chewers
Color: Blue
Got this to keep the high-energy puppy occupied indoors so the older dogs can actually get some peace and quiet. The main issue with most automated electronic pet toys is that they rely on expensive, hard-to-find button cell batteries that die after a single afternoon of use. This unit utilizes a built-in 300mAh battery with a standard Type-C charging interface. That is a mandatory design feature if you actually want to run the toy daily without going broke replacing power cells. The internal motor generates enough erratic movement to keep a dog's attention, and it actually has the torque to navigate over standard tile, hardwood, and light carpets without instantly stalling out in a corner. You need to completely understand the physical limitations of what you are unboxing here. The listing explicitly states this is not for heavy chewers, and you need to take that warning seriously. The outer shell is TPU, but the internal chassis housing the electronics is hard ABS plastic. If you hand this to an 80-pound working dog that aggressively shreds thick bones, they are going to crush the housing and destroy the internal motor assembly in about ten minutes. At roughly 2.5 inches in diameter, it's basically the size of a standard tennis ball. If you use it as intended—as an interactive chasing toy for a puppy or a moderate chewer rather than a heavy-duty chew toy—it functions perfectly. It is a highly practical piece of indoor enrichment gear. Solid return on investment for burning off excess canine energy.

Pawsitively Stimulating🐾
Color: Blue
When my hooman brought this home, I thought it was fur their computer. After all, it has a plug and lights up. When they placed it on the floor, I was pawsomely surprised. Fur real, this little ball is wierd. It doesn't taste at all like my favorite tennis ball. I was a pawplexed that sometimes when I was finally brave enough to get it and hold it in my mouth, it would start jumping around. I think my hoomans finally found a toy that will keep me busy for a while. Mom is howling with excitement because it kept me interested for a long time. I hope I can sleep tonight. I see mom has plugged in my new toy to keep it "charged"- whatever that means....I never had a toy that came with its own leash before. Mom says she is gonna save the toy until other hoomans come over to keep me from being too ruff with them. You see the video, do I look a dog who could be too ruff?- Sincerely, the family dog, a bona-fido toy reviewer

Freaks my dogs out.
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dogs really don't know what to make of these. They mostly follow it around, staring at it curiously, but semi-afraid to approach it. That, or they'll bark at it. It charges quickly and has multiple modes to engage your pet with. It also locks closed securely ... for the most part. That said, there are some downsides. This toy is mostly made for smaller dogs. I'd say 40 or 50 pounds max. While the plastic shell feels hard and durable, it's not hard enough for a big dog's jaws. My big bulldog mix bore down on this with his teeth, and I hard the plastic starting to snap. It's tough, but not great if your dog is the type who likes to put the pressure on.
