Tibor Everglades Reels
The Tibor Everglades reel is one of the best 7- to 9-weight reels in the world. The Tibor Everglades is a bonefishing machine and is equally well suited to chasing silvers in Alaska, steelhead in the Northwest, or Golden Dorado in Bolivia.
Tibor Everglades reels feature a larger arbor design for quick line pick-up when needing to catch up to charging fish. The Tibor series drag system has shined over decades of on-the-water, real-world experience and has the reputation to prove it. All Tibor series reels are convertible for left or right handed retrieve. Complete warranty, maintenance and retrieve conversion information is included with each reel. Made in USA with a limited lifetime warranty.
Not all colors are kept in stock. Expect 2-4 weeks from ordering time to the time we ship your reel. Custom color options are available as follows. Custom gamefish engravings on your reel are also available for additional charges.

Here is what Tibor has to say about their Tibor series reels:
The Tibor series of reels were first introduced in 1995 and have established themselves as the benchmark for custom-crafted fly reels. After years of development, Ted was finally satisfied with a reel that truly has set a new standard in fly fishing reel technology.
The spool’s large arbor design significantly enhances the rate of line retrieval which is critical when you’re trying to control speedsters like bonefish, bonito, or wahoo. Tibor Reels are also a mainstay for Spey enthusiasts, delivering the ultimate balance, overall capacity and drag performance for the double-handed rod.
As with all of Ted’s reels, the drag system is absolutely flawless and has withstood the test of the world’s most demanding game fish, including over 850 World Records so far. If you were to own only one fly reel, this is the one to have.
