Sold – Abel Vaya 7/8 - REEL1149

The Abel Vaya 7/8 Fly Reel bridges the gap between heavy freshwater and light saltwater applications with effortless style. This reel handles 7- to 8-weight lines for targeting large trout and bass or chasing bonefish on the flats. The large arbor design ensures rapid line recovery during intense runs. The dual pawl drag engagement provides a balanced feel without the need for a traditional counterweight. Its mechanical incoming click and smooth outgoing drag offer a classic tactile experience for the serious angler.

Handcrafted in Colorado, the Vaya features a partially ported frame that achieves an ideal balance of minimized weight and structural rigidity. The interior of the frame includes unique CNC-milled fly patterns that are specific to this size. The semi-sealed drag system utilizes a stack of alternating carbon fluoropolymer and stainless steel discs to provide substantial stopping power. This aerospace grade aluminum construction ensures the reel remains a durable companion through years of hard use in diverse environments.

This Abel Vaya 7/8 arrives in Great condition with almost no signs of use. Recast Fly Fishing has inspected the reel to confirm that the hand-anodized finish and mechanical components remain in factory condition. Investing in this preowned model allows you to own a premium American-made reel at a significant savings over the original retail price. It represents a functional work of art that is ready for its first day on the water.
