Abel Pawl Kit, Right Hand – Premium Replacement Part
The signature mechanical purr of an Abel fly reel is music to any angler's ears—but it is also a critical component of your reel's line-retrieval and overrun-prevention system.

Installation & Schematic Resources
Reassembling an internal click check system requires meticulous attention to the orientation of small springs and pins.

Professional Lubrication Recommendation
To achieve the lowest possible startup inertia and shield your delicate internal components from premature wear, proper lubrication during installation is paramount. We highly recommend treating your newly installed parts with Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a light, uniform coat to the pawl springs and positioning pins. Deuthlon’s high-tack formula is exceptionally effective at anchoring the small springs in place against the frame during reassembly, while offering relentless barrier protection against friction on the drag plate cogs.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Drop a single dab onto the main pawl pivot post or fastening screw. This ultra-low friction oil guarantees instant, responsive pawl flipping whenever you transition from stripping line to actively winding.
