The Literary Fly Fisher

Abel Reels is now releasing a limited number of reels featuring a licensed image of the Grateful Dead’s “Steal Your Face” logo.  I am not generally a great admirer of Abel’s painted finishes, but this one is a beauty.  It does not seem to be available on every series of reels offered by Abel. Those on which it is available are beyond my current means, especially when you add the $300.00 premium for the logo.  All the same, the art is something to admire.  You can take a look at the following link:

Abel Reels – Limited Edition Grateful Dead ® Reel.

The only Abel reel in my possession actually belongs to my daughter.  A good friend gave it to me to pass on to her, when she is old enough to use it (thank you, John Henry).  I see that Abel now offers commemorative “Newborn Baby Reels.” Perhaps if we have another child I can find someone to give me another Abel.  Kidding, of course …. sort of.
