Casey Underwood is an artist and outdoorsman residing in Bozeman, Montana. Casey took his artwork full time in 2015 and has since become one of the more recognizable artists in the outdoor space. As a prolific illustrator, he has amassed a collection of work consisting of over 100 fish and wildlife species. Commercially, his freelance designs are frequently contracted by some of the outdoor industries leading brands. Clean edges, fine detail and crosshatched lines are a few characteristics that define Casey's signature style. When he's not in his studio cranking out new work, he's likely out fishing, hunting or skiing with his wife and dog. 

Last year, Casey produced six custom designs exclusively for Abel Reels that quickly became top sellers in our custom finish lineup.  Our team of artists developed a process for a first-of-their-kind finish that integrates Casey's laser engraved artwork into an anodized reel.  Originally only available in our high gloss solid color finishes, they can now also be additionally ordered in all satin finish solid colors.  Three more designs coming in March of 2022 specifically for the ROVE reel.
