The gold standard in fly reels.

Since it's introduction in 1995, Ted Juracsik's Tibor Reels has become a favorite of discerning fly fisherman. Innovations like a large arbor spool significantly increase the rate of line and retrieval and give fly fishermen a greater control of reel-smoking species like Bonefish, Permit, Wahoo and Tuna. The impregnated cork disc drag system delivers the strongest smoothest and most reliable performance in the water.

WORLD RECORDS NEVER LIE
The Tibor Riptide fly reel wields Tibor’s flawless drag system, which has defeated the world’s largest fish for 250+ species. The Riptide’s large arbor spool design significantly enhances the rate of line retrieval which is a critical advantage against strong adversaries like stripers in the surf.

These are by far the best saltwater fly fishing reels made! All the best saltwater guides have Tibor reels on all their rods, and it’s not by coincidence.
