Tibor/Pate Fly Reels

Tibor Reels are considered by many to be the finest saltwater reels ever made. Now, Ted Juracsik has developed two Tibors that fill the needs of trout fisherman. Because of their construction and the superb drag, many steelheaders, bass fishermen, and we suspect, saltwater fly fisherman, will use them also.

Ted has created the new standard in fly reel technology. Engineered and constructed to withstand the most severe fishing conditions and harsh elements.

The lightweight, contempory design is both functional and asthetically pleasing. The large outer and hub diameters offer quick retrieve, even when the backing is low. The detented drag adjustment is smooth and positive. Both the main gear and spool rotate flawlessly on three precision, stainless steel ball bearings. An impregnated cork disc drag is the smoothest and strongest in the industry.

Since Ted Juracsik first introduced his anti-reverse Tarpon reel in 1976, Billy Pate Fly Reels have established a reputation for being extremely dependable, durable reels that render flawless performance while being virtually maintenance free. Billy Pate Fly Reels are manufactured in six different model sizes that cover the entire range of fly fishing pursuits. All models are offered in either anti-reverse or direct drive as well as a choice between left or right hand retrieve and a satin gold or jet black finish
