From Abel's hand-painted Abstract Series, this Vaya wears a brook-trout-inspired finish - free-form, painted in-house, and unique to each reel - paired here with a matching Abstract Brook drag knob and a dark ebony handle. The 4/5 size makes it a light, everyday trout reel with a genuinely one-off look.
The Colorado-built Vaya platform underneath is a partially-ported, large-arbor frame with a sealed carbon-and-stainless drag. It stays light on a four- or five-weight while giving you smooth, finely adjustable stopping power for the light tippet those rods fish.
