Tibor Riptide Fly Reel

The ultra-strong frame of the Tibor Fly Reel is machined from a solid block of high-grade bar- stock aluminum to create a lightweight reel that's highly resistant to breaking or warping. Tibor Reels also have extreme resistance to saltwater corrosion because each reel is hand polished and painstakingly anodized to create a Rolls-Royce finish. The Tibor then incorporates a highly dependable draw-bar cork drag that consists of a large natural cork washer and a stainless threaded spindle that when tightened by the reel's external knob evenly draws down the spool against the cork for exacting resistance at a consistent level of pressure that won't loosen or tighten suddenly on a run. The cork is the hero, as it has a remarkable ability to gain stronger resistance to friction as it compresses, call it a molecular thing. The spool's large arbor significantly enhances the rate of line retrieval which Orlando Outfitters anglers know to be critical when trying to control speedsters like bonefis
