Crafted by avid Colorado anglers, the Vaya series pairs an all-new technical aesthetic with outstanding real-world performance. The partially ported frame strikes the perfect balance of minimized weight, incredible rigidity, and just enough surface area to showcase Abel's signature hand-anodized finishes — including intricate CNC-milled fly pattern silhouettes on the frame interior, sized specifically for each reel.
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 high-country cutthroat streams to light saltwater flats, the Vaya 5/6 is your new go-to reel.
