I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Clearwater LA Cassette Reel
Still one of the best performance-to-value reels in the industry, Orvis' Clearwater LA Cassette Reel is one of our favorite choices for anglers looking for their first large arbor reel or trying to save some cash for the rest of their kit. This option balances properly with your favorite rod, and features a powerful inline, Rulon-to-stainless, stacked disc drag that holds its own against high-performance machined reels. The Clearwater's positive click drag knob provides consistent settings every time, and easily converts to either left- or right-hand retrieve depending on your preference. Plus, we love the new stealthy matte-gray powder-coat finish to help us sneak up on unsuspecting fish.
