Tibor Billy Pate Reel
Pickup available at Fly Fishing Outfitters
Usually ready in 24 hours
In 1976, Ted Juracsik introduced his first Anti-Reverse Tarpon Reel designated the Billy Pate. This Tibor series continues today and includes three Anti-Reverse models, for rod weights 6-12.
No other reel has matched the Billy Pate’s durability and dependability day in day out, year after year, regardless of conditions, locale or species. This precision piece of equipment is designed and constructed to withstand the most demanding fly fishing environments. As with all reels that leave Ted’s shop, the Billy Pate is virtually maintenance free. This is a reel for life and to then hand on to the next angler. It is not fashionable, but it does look cool, it has style and longevity.
