I am interested in buying an Abel Super 7/8 for my new 8 weight rod. I have two Abels now so am familiar with them generally, (larger models) but wonder about the Super 7/8. I have read some criticisms of the reel because of a lack of backing capacity when used with a 8 weight line. I like the weight and size of the 7/8 on an 8 weight rod after casting with several different reels of various weights.
I'm planning on using Threadlock 50 lb. so I am not too concerned about being able to put enough backing on, but thought I'd ask before purchase. What is your experience with this particular model of Abel and fishing them with an 8 weight?
Thanks!
