Tibor Riptide QC Fly Reel and Spool 2
As a young tool and die apprentice in his native Hungary, the old masters taught Ted "the most beautiful and reliable machines have the least moving parts." This philosophy helps make the Tibor Quick Change Series superior to any other quick change reel and spool system on the market. The spool change involves only a single moving part- the one-piece stainless steel end cap. There's nothing to remove: no loose parts, tricky threading or alignments. Changing a spool has never been easier.
* All internal parts are sealed from outside elements
* Large outer and hub diameters offer quick retrieve, even when backing is low
* Also available with extra large arbor Spool2 for lightning speed line retrieval(for Riptide, Gulfstream and Pacific models only)
* Hard coated, aluminum main gear means minimal heat build-up and great strength. Both the main gear and spool rotate flawlessly on three sealed precision, stainless steel ball bearings
* An impregnated cork drag is the smoothest and strongest in the industry
* Open hubbed, perforated spool and drum allow the reel to remain cool during scorching runs and outer holes act as a tippet keeper

* Triple outgoing line signals, easily removable for silent operation
* Each reel is serialized for identification and protection
* Features a personalized name plate ENGRAVED FREE- please give us the proper spelling here when you check out!* Balanced reel stand incorporates a hook keeper and spare clutch dog springs
