This Vaya comes from Abel's hand-painted Abstract Series, where the classic Rainbow finish is set loose in a free-form, one-of-a-kind treatment - here matched with an Abstract Rainbow drag knob and a dark ebony handle. In a 4/5, it is a light trout reel with an artist's touch.
The Vaya itself is Colorado-built: a partially-ported, large-arbor frame with a sealed carbon-and-stainless drag. Light on the rod, smooth under load, and finely tunable for the fine tippet a four- or five-weight fishes.
