Innovative Design
The Abel Vaya Fly Reel was crafted by passionate Colorado anglers to deliver both performance and artistry. Moreover, it debuted with an all-new technical look, combining function with striking style. As a result, the Vaya offers anglers a unique reel that blends lightweight construction, incredible rigidity, and the ability to showcase Abel’s hand-anodised finishes.Precision Performance
The partially ported frame reduces weight while maintaining strength. Furthermore, CNC-milled fly patterns inside the frame vary by reel size, adding detail and identity. In addition, the large arbor spool features a precision-balanced, dual-pawl drag system that eliminates the need for a counterweight. Consequently, the Vaya offers smooth performance with both incoming and outgoing clicks.Versatile Drag System
The Vaya’s alternating carbon and stainless steel drag stack provides substantial stopping power. Moreover, its wide drag adjustment range gives anglers control when protecting delicate tippets or battling powerful fish. Therefore, the reel adapts seamlessly to a variety of freshwater conditions, from small streams to larger rivers.FEATURES
