VAYA: Go Explore with the Abel Vaya Fly Reel
Spanish for ‘Go!’ VAYA embodies the spirit of adventure—encouraging you to go outside, go explore, and go fishing!
Crafted by avid Colorado anglers, the VAYA series debuts with a technical look and feel that promises outstanding performance. The partially-ported VAYA frame offers a unique combination of minimized weight, incredible rigidity, and just enough surface area to highlight Abel’s hand-anodized finishes. The frame interior also features varying sets of CNC-milled fly patterns relevant to each size of reel, adding a touch of artistic detail.
The large-arbor spool features a precision-balanced, dual-pawl drag engagement design that eliminates the need for a counterweight. The spool’s mechanical incoming click complements the smooth feel of the outgoing drag. The carbon/stainless multi-disk drag system produces substantial resistance, providing a wide range of adjustability for delicate tippet. VAYA is your new ‘go-to’ reel for everything from freshwater to light saltwater fishing.

Like any work of art, Abel Reels are hand painted master pieces and can vary ever so slightly from one beautiful reel to another.
Also, please take into consideration that colors can vary from mobile phones, computer monitors and cameras when viewing a custom fish graphic picture on our website.
At Fin & Fire, we try to represent the truest rendering of these reel colors and use reel graphics take directly from Abel Reel’s website.
