Abel Customer Service - Thank You!

For about a year now, I have been concerned about a special reel of mine....an Abel TR2 reel that I purchased from Steve Abel many years ago. The spring had weakened and needed replacement. Actually, I thought it may not be possible to get a replacement because of the reel's age. This reel is so cool and I have loved fishing it in my New Mexico streams...it would have been a shame if it couldn't be restored to original condition.

For some reason, I procrastinated with contacting Abel regarding a replacement spring. Then one day last week, I was working on a blog story when suddenly, I decided to send an email to Abel Reels and see if I could purchase a new spring for this old TR2 reel. Next day, I received a reply from the department manager requesting my address, along with her message that she would send me a replacement spring at no cost. I was both relieved and thrilled to learn I could restore my reel to its original condition and performance. Yup, I've always been a fan of Abel Reels, but now even more!

So, here's some major props to the service manager and employees at Abel Reels...thank you, so very much!
