Some artists' work simply belongs on an Abel, and Casey Underwood is one of them. His Sight Fish design wraps this Vaya in an olive-toned finish - individually laser engraved and put through Abel's proprietary polishing and texturizing process - paired with a black drag knob and a warm rosewood handle. In a 5/6, it is an artist's reel you will actually want to fish.
The Vaya underneath is a Colorado-built, partially-ported, large-arbor trout reel with a sealed carbon-and-stainless drag. Smooth for delicate tippet and strong enough for a good fish, it performs every bit as well as it looks.
