Tibor Everglades Quick Change Reel
Item #: EQG
$732.00 ea.

As a young tool and die apprentice in his native Hungary, the old masters taught Ted "the most beautiful machines have the least moving parts."  This philosophy helps make the Tibor QuickChangeTM Series superior to any other quick change reel and spool system on the market. The spool change involves only a single moving part - the stainless steel end cap. There's nothing to remove: no loose parts, tricky threading or alignments. Changing a spool has never been easier. The Tibor QuickChange Series - simplicity and reliability in a classic new design.

Tibor Series Reel
Item #: GGCF
Please Call for Price

The Tibor series of reels were first introduced in 1995 and have established themselves as the benchmark for custom-crafted fly reels. After years of development and input from the likes of Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot, Ted was finally satisfied with a reel that truly has set a new standard in fly fishing reel technology.

The spool's large arbor design significantly enhances the rate of line retrieval which is critical when you're trying to control speedsters like bonefish, bonito, or wahoo. 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 234 World Records, so far. If you were to own only one fly reel, this is the one to have.

Sage Bass Series of Fly Rods
Item #: LSB
$0.00 ea.

After working with a small, tight-lipped group of serious bass anglers, Sage developed three rods that can drop a hair frog or an air-light diver with pinpoint accuracy and hardly a ripple on the water. From a fly fishing perspective, we’re talking about effortlessly pushing big, wind-resistant bugs into tight quarters.  Available in three models, Bluegill (new this year), Smallmouth and Largemouth, rods measure 7'11", which slides them just under the strict bass tournament rules for rod length. Additionally, both rods are sold with custom bass taper flylines and a travel case for protection.  Our customers have given us great feedback on these rods !!    The Smallmouth rod doubles as a great rod to chase Redfish on the flats.

Hatch Fly Reels
Item #: H--
Please Call for Price

If you are not familiar with Hatch Reels, stop by and have a look, you'll be glad you did.  Hatch reels are one of the finest performing and asthetically pleasing reels on the market.  The majority of the drags in reels on the market today incorporate what might be called one to one surface contact, meaning that one  surface (metal) is driven or drawn toward another surface (cork, plastic, carbon fiber, graphite, etc). Hatch reels take a completely different approach by incorporating a stacked disc drag. The discs are made up of a combination of stainless steel and Rulon®, and positioned in a stacked configuration.  The reel seat is machined into the frame eliminating screws, there's no worry about corrosion or the reel foot lossening.  Reels come in various sizes, body styles, color combos,  and arbor sizes. 

  • Hatch 3 Plus (3-5wt)  $400
  • Hatch 5 Plus (5-7wt)  $500
  • Hatch 7 Plus (7-9wt)  $600
  • Hatch 9 Plus (9-12wt)  $750
  • Hatch 12 Plus (12-16wt) $875
