This Abel Vaya wears a Black Red Fade finish - a smoky black-to-red gradient - set off by a Basic Black drag knob and a black aluminum handle for a sharp, blacked-out-with-a-spark look. In a 5/6, it is the size most trout anglers reach for first.
Vaya is Abel's modern trout reel, designed and machined in Colorado. It is a partially-ported, large-arbor reel with a sealed carbon-and-stainless drag: light on the rod, smooth under load, and finely tunable for the light tippet a five- or six-weight sees.
