Crafted by avid Colorado anglers, the Vaya series pairs an all-new technical aesthetic with outstanding real-world performance. The Native Brown finish is one of Abel’s most striking hand-anodized colorways, complemented by a rich ebony wood handle that elevates this reel into heirloom territory. The partially ported frame showcases intricate CNC-milled fly pattern silhouettes on the interior — a signature Abel detail sized specifically for the 5/6 weight.
The large-arbor spool features a precision-balanced, dual-pawl drag engagement design that eliminates the need for a counterweight. The satisfying mechanical click on the incoming line complements the smooth, audible feel of the outgoing drag. A 5-disc alternating carbon/stainless steel drag stack delivers substantial stopping power with a wide range of adjustability — perfect for protecting delicate tippet on big fish.
From spring creeks to saltwater flats, this is the reel you’ll hand down someday.
