The Abel SDF (Sealed Drag Fresh) was named best new freshwater reel of 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine and took Best of Show at the 2017 ICAST/IFTD trade show. It came together after Abel's move to Colorado, when the trout-rich water out their back door pushed the team to take everything they had learned and build a better reel for the river.

The SDF is a scaled-down version of Abel's award-winning SDS saltwater reel, with the same porting style and a stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer drag system built for years of low-maintenance performance. Drag pressure ranges from zero to ten pounds, with an adjustment range nearly three times wider than the original SD and virtually no start-up inertia. The result is a reel that protects light tippet on a 16 and still has the stopping power for a thick-shouldered brown.

This is the Satin Purple finish with black drag knob and aluminum black handle, a 4/5 weight reel suited for everything from a small-stream 3-weight up through a 5-weight on the home water. Each SDF is designed and machined in Colorado by people who fish trout for a living. Stop by the shop at 432 E Main St in Montrose to see one in hand.

how a country could develop a "national character" founded on the love of liberty while simultaneously importing thousands and t
Format: Paperback
This book lays out hte paradox, how a country could develop a "national character" founded on the love of liberty while simultaneously importing thousands and thousands of bondsmen to provided the "free people" with the necessities of life: i.e., why slavery was necessary to support the kind of freedom the white folk wanted to become accustomed to.... and implicitly, why the industrial revolution finally changed the hearts and minds of enough Americans to make slavery seem unnecessary and therefore, if was no longer a necessary evil, why it had to be overthrown. Morgan writes objectively -- but his feelings are always detectable through his writing style, which is perhaps the best academic English to be found anywhere. I found it gripping. The book was published in 1972, and has doubtless been corrected by many subsequent researchers in some of its particulars -- but it was the fountainhead for a new way of understanding American history that young people all have learned about in high school, but which many baby-boomers have never seriously encountered. Reading it accomplished a MAJOR retrofit in my sense of how the USA got to be the way it is today. Not to put too fine a point on it, the Tea Party and many trump supporters seem to adhere to the values of the original American Republicans [and to think that Black folk should be pushed back to a place where their feelings don't matter], and to long for a return to the status quo ante -- with ante referring to a time long LONG ago

History at its best
This comprehensive history of early Virginia persuasively argues that slavery and racism contributed to the American notions of freedom and democracy for those not enslaved. Although first published in 1975, one would never guess that just from reading it. Morgan's argument emerges from such a careful reading and analysis of primary sources that it remains as important today as it was a quarter century ago. The book also provides valuable insights into many subjects other than slavery, including economic and political relations between Virginia and England, early interactions with Native Americans, and changing colonial and British notions of labor and class. Highly recommended on any of these issues.

Fasten your seat belt!
Format: Paperback
The eye-opening journey this non-fiction book offers is not fun, if you are any kind of human being at all. The historical detail and background information is great. The organization makes it easy to understand the complex and entangled events that were happening then and which molded colonial Virginian society, which in turn we inherited. Highest quality scholarship. Dreadful and stomach-turning subject matter. I wish I read this years ago.
