Shilton Reels

Tony Fritelli, an avid fly fisherman and founder of Shilton Reels, saw a gap in the fly fishing market in 1997. The easily accessible full-open cork drag system makes it easy for you to clean and service your own reels. Any issue can be resolved in seconds without even taking your reel off your rod. Made in South Africa, the Shilton SL and SR series' of fly reels are the preferred choice of Seychelles guides for their reliability and drag systems.

• SR Series is the premier saltwater reel in the Shilton lineup with the largest drag surface and most stopping power - from $935
• SL Series is the original (and most popular) big game Shilton reel featuring the open drag design with a refined cork - from $635
• CR Series is a lightweight, freshwater reel with a super large arbor and silent click in both directions - from $445
