Tibor reels has a long tradition of making some of the finest saltwater reels available. In fact the cork drag mechanism has seen little change in the last 25 years because its simple design is indestructible and requires very little maintenance. This reel is the perfect size reel for Baby Tarpon, Permit and large Bonefish featuring a large arbor design that allows for quick line retrieval and a consistent outgoing drag. Tibor Reels are also a mainstay for Spey enthusiasts, delivering the ultimate balance, overall capacity and drag performance for the double-handed rod. As with all of Ted’s reels, the drag system is absolutely flawless and has withstood the test of the world’s most demanding game fish, including over 350 World Records so far. If you were to own only one fly reel, this is the one to have.
