The Satin Purple Vaya is one of the more eye-catching finishes in Abel's trout lineup - a deep, satin-sheen purple that plays beautifully against the black drag knob and dark ebony handle it wears here. In a 5/6, it is the size most trout anglers use for just about everything.
Vaya is Abel's modern trout reel, designed and machined in Colorado. It is a partially-ported, large-arbor reel built around a sealed carbon-and-stainless drag - light on the rod, smooth under load, and finely adjustable for the light tippet a five- or six-weight sees.
