Part of Abel's hand-painted Abstract Series, this Vaya wears a brook-trout-inspired finish - painted in-house so no two match - complete with a matching Abstract Brook drag knob and a warm rosewood handle. In a 4/5, it is a light, versatile trout reel that happens to be a small work of art.
The Vaya platform underneath is pure Colorado engineering: a partially-ported, large-arbor frame around a sealed carbon-and-stainless drag. Smooth for delicate tippet, strong enough to hold a good fish, and light enough to enjoy all day on a four- or five-weight.
