VAYA: Spanish for ‘Go!’, as
in go outside, go explore, go fishing!
Crafted by avid Colorado
anglers, the VAYA series debuts an all-new technical look and feel paired with
outstanding performance. The partially-ported VAYA frame offers the 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.
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 compliments
the audible, smooth feel of the outgoing drag. The carbon / stainless
multi-disk drag system produces substantial resistance, while providing a wide
range of adjustability for delicate tippet.

for everything from freshwater to light salt.

NEW! RIO ELITE GOLD FLY LINE (WF4 - WF8)
The Elite RIO Gold has a taper design that gives incredible loop stability at distance and a front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #2 and #22. With a long head and back taper this line is an excellent all around fly line on rivers and lakes when long casts and complete line control are required. This line is built with RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in exceptionally smooth, durable fly lines, with the added benefits of incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, creating the slickest, most durable fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
