Inspired by the Mountains. The mountains have influenced the birth of our independence and the evolution of our company, creating a highly diverse yet very collaborative landscape. Our factory neighbors the Rocky Mountains, and we're proud to produce our products on the Western Slope of Colorado. Mountains are unavoidable in our State, and for a fishing tackle manufacturer like Abel, they challenge us with their terrain providing the perfect playground to inspire innovation and engineering.
