Product Description

Headline: The blacked-out Abel SDF. Quiet, premium, and built one town over from our shop.

The Abel SDF (Sealed Drag Fresh) 5/6 was Fly Fisherman Magazine's Best New Freshwater Reel for 2018 and Best of Show at the 2017 ICAST/IFTD trade show. Abel built the SDF after moving their operation here to Colorado, taking everything they learned engineering the saltwater SDS and scaling the platform down for trout. The result is the best freshwater reel they have ever produced, and we are proud to carry it from our shop just down the road from where it is built.

This configuration is the all-black version: Solid Glossy Black frame, matching Glossy Black drag knob, and a hand-finished ebony wood handle. No graphics, no contrast. It is the quietest aesthetic Abel offers on the SDF and the one most often picked by the angler who wants a premium reel that does not announce itself. The glossy finish picks up light just enough to look intentional, and the dark wood handle warms the package up without breaking the monochrome.

Under the surface, the SDF runs the same stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer sealed drag system Abel uses on their saltwater reels. Drag pressure ranges from zero to 10 pounds with an adjustment range almost three times greater than the original SD, and the system has virtually zero startup inertia, so a fish that turns and runs hits a smooth, predictable resistance instead of a jolt. The large arbor picks up line faster and cuts down on memory in cold weather.

User-convertible retrieve, quick-change spool, and almost a full ounce lighter than the original SD. Designed and machined by trout junkies in Montrose, Colorado, USA, the same town as our shop. Stop by 432 E Main St to see one in hand before you commit.

Great WFH screen for video calls
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I share a workspace with my hubs since we both work from home. I have the attention span of a 🐿️ and need this so I can focus on my work and not get distracted by him, since he is very amusing to watch. This screen is very lightweight and the panels can move and create a little cubicle around your workspace. I personally loved cubicles & despise open space seating, even at home. The ADHDer in my loves being able to block things away from my field of vision. These panels also hide any mess behind you, especially if you forget to blur the background on Teams or Zoom calls or if you don’t have the option to change your backgrounds. This was fairly easy to put together and very easy to move and adjust. The screen is a much better option than a sheet as I’ve seen others use on calls.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m not sure how it will stand up around rambunctious pets or kids, but fairly certain it takes quite a push to knock it over. We have four cats & I’m pretty sure someone would try to climb this, which is why they’re not allowed in our workspace.

Difficult to assemble, but a good basic divider
Color: Beige, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I bought this to use as a background for when I have video calls. I wish I'd ordered the 6- or even 8-panel to block a little more, but that's my own error. It still covers a good portion of the room, so I'll make do, or maybe buy another at a later date to expand it. It looks ok, if a little plain. The fabric panels have creases in them from being folded and will need to be steamed or ironed out for a nicer look. It would be easy to make your own panels as well, if you're so inclined. The construction is decent. The frame is lightweight and if you don't angle the base supports the right way it may tip over if you extend it too far. The fabric panels aren't the highest quality, but are sturdy enough. They seem like they would handle being thrown in the wash well. The only issue I have with it is that it was so difficult to put together. The push latches that connect the poles don't push it well and hurt my hands. The fabric panels are sized to be extremely taut, which makes it very difficult to get them on the bars without forcing the bar to bend slightly. Overall, this is a good divider if you're looking for something simple and functional without being too worried about aesthetic. It's also a good, inexpensive base if you want to make your own custom panels.

Great Room divider
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Works well in separating my kids play area from my computer/office room. Easy to put together, height is perfect somewhat sturdy, looks great, light weight, not good if you are using it as a door, but if it is to stay in place than it is stable enough.

Exactly what I needed
Color: Black, Size: 34"- 3 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
It was easy to put together even without a power drill. Completely opaque. Only a very small slit between poles. I plan to add black electrical tape, but that's because I don't want nosies peeking through to see my screen. The height is beautiful. I was afraid it wouldn't be as tall as I needed. But it is perfect. I share a small office with a good buddy of mine. People passing by our door is distracting and invites them to speak to me. I needed something that would stop the former and prevent the latter, especially when I'm deep in concentration mode. The two panels are enough to block outsiders and the third panel I will employ when I can't even be disturbed by my officemate. It's the fastest and easiest signal not to disrupt me at all. 10/10

Packaging contents
Color: Grey, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
Item is as described however this one appeared to be open and some parts possibly used. Example pole packaging mislabeled one had the letter K as a part there is no letter K item in the instructions. Another pole part had a taped on letter A which is completely different from the others thus indicating that it was opened or substituted. Finally after the partition was completely put together one of the bottom screw connection anchors came out making the partition unable to stand. I'm going to have to rig something up in order to get the anchor connected to the bottom panel. In closure the partion could be very acceptable and do the job if it was new and parts labeled correctly. I have pictures of all parts and packaging errors. Would buy again if new. I'm going to pursue some kind of compensation.
