Custom USA Engineering. Striking Rise Up Artistry with Multi-Disk Drag Power.

The Abel Vaya 5/6 is engineered as a high-performance trout and light streamer reel built to withstand rigorous field use. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum in Montrose, Colorado, the Vaya features a distinctive partially-ported frame that maximizes structural strength while keeping physical weight exceptionally low. Finished in classic Black anodize with custom green drag knob and handle accents, this reel features custom laser-engraved Rise Up trout artwork on the frame, powered by a sealed multi-disk carbon-fiber and stainless-steel drag stack.

Why You Need This Reel

The Abel Vaya 5/6 offers the perfect combination of custom aesthetic character and field-tested reliability. In a 5/6 configuration, it balances modern 5-weight and 6-weight trout rods effortlessly. The precision-machined frame geometry incorporates built-in counter-balancing, while the large arbor design delivers rapid line pickup when fast-moving trout charge the net. For anglers seeking handcrafted American quality with custom visual flair, the Vaya is a top-tier performer.

Condition Note

This reel is in Good Condition. It displays light, honest signs of previous field use, including minor cosmetic surface marks or light rim wear on the anodized finish, but remains completely free of deep gouges or structural defects. The custom green drag knob and handle turn smoothly, and the sealed multi-disk drag operates flawlessly with zero binding. It has been fully cleaned, technically inspected, and is 100% structurally sound. Includes the protective reel pouch.
