Welcome to the Yellowstone Angler on-line fly shop catalog!

Tibor reels were first introduced in 1995 and since that time have increased in reputation and popularity year after year. Saltwater gurus Flip Pallot and Lefty Kreh joined forces with head designer Ted Juracsik to come up with a reel that we feel is the finest saltwater reel on the market today.  We have personally used them hard for bonefish, permit and big tarpon, and have never had one fail in any way!  The mid-arbor design greatly increases line retrieval rates, which is critical when fishing for speedsters like bonefish, permit, barracuda, tarpon and billfish.  They have also been widely acclaimed by spey enthusiates for their capacity and overall balance on two-handed rods.  These reels have produced 234 world records brought to hand by their owners!   Probably the best part of this reel is the drag.  It utilizes a cork surface against the annodized aluminum spool but has three small ball bearing detents inset into the drag disc.  When a fish is running fast, the sound is as sweet as a BMW in-line 6 cylinder heading for the redline. You can fine tune the drag settings with a range far wider than other reels.     Standard colors are Satin Gold and Black but  we can order custom colors for an additional 10%:    Forrest Green, Blue Gray, Moss Green (matches Loomis Crosscurrent rods) Royal Blue (nice with Sage's Xi2 rods) Crimson, adn Graphite Gray.  

Tasteful gamefish engraving is also available for a variety of fish.  Single $45, Two engravings $90, Grand Slam $90

The same great reel that has made a Tibor a leading name in the industry has now become an angler's dream if you need a reel with quickly interchangeable spools.   No more nuts, drag knobs or caps or small springs to get lost at sea.   Simply unscrew the large center cap and pop off the spool!  You can also do this without gettting that silicone grease all over your hands!  This new QuickChange Series allows anglers to change lines quickly and get back into action in a hurry.  A real advantage when fishing for tarpon or other fish when you need both a floating line and a slow sink or sink tip handy and ready to go.    Standard colors are Satin Gold and Black.  We can order custom colors for an additional 10%:  Forrest Green, Blue Gray, Moss Green (matches Loomis Crosscurrent rods) Royal Blue (nice with Sage's Xi2 rods) Crimson, adn Graphite Gray.  

Tasteful gamefish engraving is also available for a variety of fish.  Single $45, Two engravings $90, Grand Slam $90

The same great Tibor quality in a line of smaller lightweight reels, with a highly adjustable drum brake that allows a smooth drag.  The smallest size, the Spring Creek CL is designed for 3 and 4 weight lines.  The Tailwater CL is designed for 5 and 6 weight lines.  The Back Country CL wide is one of our favorite reels for snook and redfish.  All of these reels are designed to be used in both fresh or saltwater.  We think these are wonderful reels and great looking to boot!   Standard colors are available in Stain Gold, Jet Black, or Forest Green. We can order custom colors for an extra 10% in Blue Gray, Moss Green, Royal Blue, Crimson, and Graphite Gray.
