The Tibor Light Tailwater CL featuring the innovative drag system, composed of a special felt and lubricant, produces constant lubrication for a totally smooth drag throughout the entire range of resistance. The CL Light reels from Tibor are some of our favorite light duty fly reels of all time!
* Made from solid aluminum bar stock and has very few parts
* Features a drag that cannot be set excessibely tight- yet the spool won't over-run if you pull line rapidly from it. This prevents the fragile leader tippets from breaking
* The drag adjustment nut is more accessible than on most reels and cannot catch the line
* The cluth dogs on most fly reels are held in place with springs that can fall out or lose their adjustment. The clutch on Tibor Light reels is a one-piece unit that is hard coated, corrosion-resistant and cannot fail
* Spool is easily removable and the retaining nut is almost impossible to lose
* The Tailwater CL is for line weights 5-6 and weighs 4.6 ounces
* Sold here in Black or Gold but if you would like a custom color, just let us know when you check out or pick one here under Tibor Colors
Built to protect your necessities from saltwater corrosion, this straightforward design wears on your waist or as a sling pack. A simple, weatherproof storage system.
