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. FEATURES The completely ventilated spool and frame keeps the reel cool during long, smoking runs. Boasts a robust incoming and outgoing clicker sound. Unique mechanical clutch system allows easy change from right to left hand retrieve. Features Tibor’s QuickChange™ spool system which involves only a single moving part. Innovative sealed drag system is waterproof, self-maintaining and still the strongest in the industry. The drag system constantly applies seal pressure while in free spool so the reel will never overrun while stripping the line. Comes equipped with our legendary silky smooth micro grain cork that is constantly lubricated. On the rare occasion that maintenance is necessary, the system can be easily disassembled, yet still remain under warranty – unlike many other sealed-drag reels on the market. Made from solid bar stock aluminum. Each reel is serialized for identification and protection. The serial # is located UNDER the nameplate on top of the frame next to the reel stand. Features a personalized Nameplate engraved free. Our Delrin Handle offers positive gripping and quick release. The Signature 11-12S & Signature 11-12 comes standard with our Gorilla Handle. SpeedHandle™ Spool option available. Comes with an extra thick Neoprene Case for convenient storage and transportation.
