Any thoughts on which Abel is best for flats: #2 or #3N? Thanks!

The 3N and the Super 8 are good choices. I love the way the 3N looks, but the Super 8 is a better reel over all(I think it is the best reel for a 8/9 wt. made). It is lighter, and maintains a much larger diameter with the line out.
I have a Silver("Platinum") 3N with a closed back and if a reel could be called "sexy", this one is X-Rated. It is still one of the best flats reels made. A 9wt. line will leave a very small arbor though.
The #2 is miniature by todays standards.
