From our experience, the Tibor Quickchange Series ranks #1 in function, form, convenience and durability. These are simply the best saltwater fly reels on the market. In addition to superb machining, design features include an imprenated cork disk drag system (the high bar for the industry), a completely enclosed drag and ball bearing spindle system, a large arbor design for fast line retrieval and a spool that's removable with the turn of a single stainless steel end cap. These beautiful reels balance perfectly on our favorite fly rods and will likely outlive their owners. All Quickchange Series reels come in two standard colors (Satin Gold and Jet Black) and are available in a host of custom colors for a surcharge. Please review options carefully for each reel and spool. The Tibor Quickchange Spool2 is an option on the Riptide, Gulfstream and Pacific models. Spool2 is an extra large arbor design, offering lightning fast retrieval when fishing for tuna, dorado and other speedsters. Tibor's ingenious SpeedHandle is available on the QuickChange Series. The SpeedHandle increases line retrieval by 33%, a fish-saving feature on fast running species.
