What matters most is \u003cstrong\u003esmoothness and low startup inertia\u003c\/strong\u003e, not huge maximum drag numbers - bonefish leaders usually run 10-16 lb, and a sticky drag that jerks at the start of a run is what breaks fish off. A \u003cstrong\u003esealed drag\u003c\/strong\u003e is the standard for flats fishing because you will dunk the reel while wading, set it down on a sandy skiff deck, and get it splashed on every run across open water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBacking Capacity and Arbor Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan on \u003cstrong\u003e150-200+ yards of backing\u003c\/strong\u003e behind your fly line.

A \u003cstrong\u003elarge arbor\u003c\/strong\u003e spool helps twice: it holds more backing in a compact frame, and it retrieves more line per turn when the fish changes direction and swims toward you, which is when bonefish most often come unbuttoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Line Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003e8wt is the most common bonefish setup\u003c\/strong\u003e, with 7wt outfits popular for calm days and smaller fish and 9wt rods for windy conditions or bigger fish. Choose the reel size that matches your rod's line weight, such as a 7\/9 or 8\/10 model for an 8wt.

At the heart of their SLT mission, Bauer begins by redesigning their tried-and-true clutch mechanism by adding additional power and maximizing what can be done with a totally sealed carbon fiber and stainless steel drag. Once they mastered the core of this reel, they didn't stop there. Bauer then fine-tuned things even further by adding an incremental drag adjustment, enhancing the knurling on the knob for even easier adjustment, and perfecting the porting to make things super lightweight while also allowing your backing to dry quickly in between salty outings. All of this was done while maintaining Bauer's long-standing statement of making the smoothest fly reel in the world. Crafted in Twin Bridges, Montana, Bauer's new SLT Reel has a size that accommodates rod weights 7 through 13 so that you can tame just about any saltwater fish you can locate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow Large Arbor Saltwater Design\u003c\/strong\u003e - The design of Bauer's SLT Reel is built around being lightweight, efficient, durable, and able to get your line back on the spool quickly.

With top-end drag output ranging from approximately 10 to 20 pounds depending on model, the drag provides both the finesse needed for lighter pressure and the power required to stop hard-running saltwater fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArbor Size\u003cbr\u003eExtremely Large Arbor –\u003c\/strong\u003e The large arbor spool ensures rapid line pickup and reduced line memory, critical when managing fast runs and changing direction under pressure.

To activate full warranty benefits, reels should be registered with Hardy within 60 days of purchase, and proof of purchase should be retained for any future claims. This warranty applies to the original owner only and does not cover damage resulting from misuse, neglect, lack of maintenance, or normal wear and tear. For issues determined to be outside of manufacturing defects, Hardy offers a service and repair program with a standard service fee (typically $35 per claim plus parts), covering labor, processing, and return shipping. Replacement parts, if needed, will be quoted prior to repair. All warranty claims and repairs are handled at Hardy’s discretion, including determining whether a reel will be repaired or replaced. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardy","offers":[{"title":"6000 \/ Black","offer_id":48477680828649,"sku":"SKU043388142276","price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8000 \/ Black","offer_id":48477680861417,"sku":"SKU043388495167","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8000 \/ Silver","offer_id":48477680894185,"sku":"SKU043388486257","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10000 \/ Black","offer_id":48477680926953,"sku":"SKU043388495174","price":875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10000 \/ Silver","offer_id":48477680959721,"sku":"SKU043388486264","price":875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12000 \/ Black","offer_id":48477680992489,"sku":"SKU043388495181","price":975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12000 \/ Silver","offer_id":48477681025257,"sku":"SKU043388486271","price":975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/hardy-reels-hardy-fortuna-regent-fly-reel-1199964219.jpg?v=1761745802"},{"product_id":"hardy-zane-carbon-fly-reel","title":"Hardy Zane Carbon Fly Reel","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"html\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new for 2020 Zane Carbon reels feature a refined, lightweight, durable new saltwater reel design.

Hatch wanted their Iconic Reel to cater to just about any angler on the water, which is why every reel comes in a large arbor size. However, to cast an even wider net and increase the options available to you, Hatch's 5 plus through 11 plus comes in both a large and mid arbor option. This is perfect for those of us who are in between rod weights and don't want to add the additional bulk of a large arbor when it isn't necessary--think small bones and juvenile permit that might require the power of a larger reel during the fight without the extra casting weight that comes with bumping into a larger arbor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHatch Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - As of May 2021, Hatch will cover any manufacturer's defects in materials and craftsmanship for the life of the reel, and any defective Hatch reel will be repaired or replaced (based on Hatch's assessment) at no charge for the parts and labor.

Available in a range of sizes and weights, there's an Iconic that can properly balance any rod in your quiver, and each one boasts this strong and sleek design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType II Anodized with Bright Dip Finish \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- Hatch gave their Iconic reels a Bright Dip Finish that's new to their line. Hatch's Bright Dip Finish has an ultra-sleek appearance that maintains the distinct look of matte anodize while also showcasing the shine of its machined parts. This updated finish sets the Iconic apart from other Hatch reels in looks while maintaining the strength, rigidity, and saltwater capabilities that we've grown to love in the previous Hatch models. A look that's as easy on the eyes as it gets and an ability to hold its own no matter what the situation, the Type II Anodized build and Bright Dip Finish is the best of both worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarstock Machined (6061-T) Aluminum - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHatch made their Iconic Reel to be used for the long haul without sacrificing its lightweight feel.

A system that's brand new and exclusive to the Iconic (at least for now), Hatch outfits this reel with a Carbon-Filled drag material that quickly dissipates heat and provides a feel that's as smooth as glass. However, Hatch didn't stop there--the Iconic removes the cassette housing of the drag system's past. Instead, Hatch integrated it right into the body of the reel in order to increase stability while decreasing axial runout. A well-designed drag system that can stop anything from carnivorous brown trout to gator-sized tarpon, Hatch's Iconic has a drag that you can count on everywhere you go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - Built with carbon fiber, Hatch's Iconic has the smoothest drag system of any reel in their lineup.

Since the Iconic spans the gap from Hatch's 3 plus to their 11 plus, this reel has arbor size options to ensure that you're always appropriately outfitted. Hatch wanted their Iconic Reel to cater to just about any angler on the water, which is why every reel comes in a large arbor size. However, to cast an even wider net and increase the options available to you, Hatch's 5 plus through 11 plus comes in both a large and mid arbor option. This is perfect for those of us who are in between rod weights and don't want to add the additional bulk of a large arbor when it isn't necessary--think small bones and juvenile permit that might require the power of a larger reel during the fight without the extra casting weight that comes with bumping into a larger arbor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHatch Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - As of May 2021, Hatch will cover any manufacturer's defects in materials and craftsmanship for the life of the reel, and any defective Hatch reel will be repaired or replaced (based on Hatch's assessment) at no charge for the parts and labor.

Mako rates it for 7 to 9 weight lines and quotes 230 to 300 yards of 50 pound braid behind a WF7, which puts it on bonefish, redfish, snook, striped bass, light permit and juvenile tarpon. Nothing is decontented to hit the size: it carries the same fully sealed carbon fiber drag, the same calibrated one-turn-stop knob, the same taper lock quick-change spool and the same three ball bearing spindle assembly as the 9700 bluewater reel, hand assembled and individually calibrated before it ships. What it is not is a light reel. At 4 inches across and 11.7 ounces it weighs within three and a half ounces of the largest reel in the range, so buying the smallest Mako buys you a smaller diameter and a smaller capacity, not a saved pocket of weight. That trade is the whole decision on this page, and it is worth making deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour Inch Ported Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e - The 9500 runs a 4 inch frame diameter, half an inch smaller than the 9550 and an inch and a half smaller than the 9700, with porting throughout to keep a solid machined reel from getting heavier still. At 11.7 ounces it is heavy for a reel rated 7 to 9 weight, and that is worth saying plainly rather than burying. Trident's own big game reel shootout put it bluntly: the 9500 is far more reel than an 8 weight rod needs, and the weight is what makes that true. On a 9 weight paired with a heavy saltwater line it balances honestly and sits steady rather than twitchy when a fish is doing the work. On a light 7 weight built for long days of blind casting, a lighter reel is the better buy and there is no point pretending otherwise. The porting also lets soaked backing dry between sessions rather than sitting against solid metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Calibrated One-Turn-Stop Knob\u003c\/strong\u003e - The full drag range lives inside a single rotation of an oversized indexed knob with a true one-turn stop, so you go from free spool to full setting in one motion instead of counting turns while a fish burns backing. That control matters at this size because the fish this reel is bought for are fought on lighter tippet than a tarpon or a giant trevally. A bonefish takes a hundred yards on a light setting and a permit needs pressure added and backed off repeatedly as it turns, and a knob that takes three rotations to cover its range turns that into guesswork. The knob is calibrated at the factory so the index marks correspond to repeatable pressure rather than being decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Lock Quick-Change Spool\u003c\/strong\u003e - Spools change on a taper lock system rather than a threaded cap, and the spool rides on a three ball bearing spindle assembly. Both choices are about longevity in salt: there are no small threaded parts to drop over the gunwale during a spool swap on a poling platform, and the taper lock does not develop play between spool and frame after several seasons the way a worn thread will. On a flats reel that gets a floating line and an intermediate swapped through the same frame across a week, that is a feature you use rather than one you read about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType III and Enhanced Type II Anodizing\u003c\/strong\u003e - Mako specifies Type III hard anodizing on its black reels, which drives a near ceramic hardness into the surface of the aluminum rather than laying a coating on top of it, and Enhanced Type II anodizing for its color finishes. That distinction is a real one and worth knowing before you pick a color. A flats reel gets set down on a sand flat, wedged under a push pole, rinsed with a hose and then ignored until the next trip, and Type III is the surface that shrugs that off best. We stock the 9500 in three finishes: Matte Black, Matte Platinum on Black and Matte Turquoise on Black. Matte Black is the one carrying the Type III specification. All three are matte rather than gloss, which is the right call in two feet of clear water where a bright reel face is one more thing flashing at a fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Machined Aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e - Frame and spool are machined aluminum, produced to what Mako describes as the highest machining standards and level of polish, then hand assembled and individually calibrated before the reel leaves the shop. Machining rather than casting is what makes the rest of the reel possible, since a sealed drag only stays sealed if the housing and the lip seals meet inside a very narrow band, and a quick-change spool only stays free of play if spool and spindle are cut to match. Mako does not publish an aluminum alloy, so we do not quote one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrag\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e - A fully sealed multidisc full-contact carbon fiber drag using Mako's button technology, which is aimed directly at start-up friction. The spool begins turning the instant a fish pulls rather than jolting against a stack that has set while the reel sat, and that first instant is where hook holds fail and light tippet parts. At this size that is the whole argument, not peak pressure. A bonefish accelerates faster than anything else this reel will meet and it does it against a 12 or 16 pound leader, so what matters is that the spool moves cleanly at a low setting after the reel has sat in a rod holder for two hours. Mako publishes no maximum drag figure for the 9500. Trident measured 14.9 pounds on the larger 9600 and 15 to 17 pounds on a 9550 Tournament, both bigger reels, so treat those as range context rather than this reel's spec. Either way, the ceiling on a 7 to 9 weight is the leader, not the reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e - Carbon fiber discs run inside a housing sealed by o-rings and proprietary carbon impregnated Teflon lip seals. Sealing is the entire point of a reel in this category, and on the flats it is specifically a sand argument rather than a salt one: a reel that gets laid on a beach or dunked climbing back into a skiff never lets grit reach the stack, so the pressure you calibrated in year one behaves the same in year ten without the reel being opened. Carbon fiber is the correct disc material because it sheds the heat a long run generates without losing consistency as it warms, which is exactly what cork and many synthetic stacks fail to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eArbor Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Arbor\u003c\/strong\u003e - The 9500 is a large arbor reel, which is what you want on a flats reel where a bonefish is often running at the boat as hard as it ran away and the only way to stay tight is to wind. The large arbor also matters for how it stacks line: backing lies flat under load instead of digging into itself, and a fly line that has been down to the backing comes back without memory coiled into it. Mako rates the 9500 for 230 to 300 yards of 50 pound braid alongside a WF7 line, and recommends 40 to 50 pound GSP braid as the backing. That last number is the one buyers overlook. Backing class climbs with reel size across the range, from 40 to 50 pound GSP here to 50 to 60 on the 9550, 60 to 80 on the 9600 and 60 to 100 on the 9700, so going up a size does not simply buy more yards, it buys heavier backing you can actually hold when clearing a wrap boatside. At this size 40 to 50 pound GSP behind 300 yards is correctly matched, and it is also where the reel stops: a fish that routinely runs into the second and third hundred yards is a 9550 or 9600 problem. Capacity across the range for comparison: the 9550 takes 300 to 355 yards of 50 to 60 pound braid with a WF9, the 9600 takes 330 to 440 yards of 60 to 80 pound braid with a WF10, and the 9700 takes 410 yards and up of 100 pound braid with a WF12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMako Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e - As of August 2026, Mako warrants its reels to be free of manufacturing defects and covers repair or replacement of manufacturer defects for the lifetime of the original owner. The warranty does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or any other damage resulting from use of the reel, and any modification that alters the reel's calibrated settings can void coverage, so drag work goes back to Mako rather than to an outside bench.

Both choices are about longevity in salt: there are no small threaded parts to drop over the gunwale during a spool swap, and the taper lock does not develop play between spool and frame after a few seasons of hard fish the way a worn thread will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType III and Enhanced Type II Anodizing\u003c\/strong\u003e - Mako specifies Type III hard anodizing on its black reels, which drives a near ceramic hardness into the surface of the aluminum instead of laying a coating on top of it, and Enhanced Type II anodizing for its color finishes. That is the specification that matters on a reel expected to live in salt spray, get dragged across a skiff deck and go months between deep cleanings. We stock the 9550 in three finishes: Matte Black, Matte Platinum on Black and Matte Turquoise on Black. All three are matte rather than gloss, which is the right call on a flats reel where a bright reel face is one more thing flashing at a fish in two feet of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Machined Aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e - Frame and spool are machined aluminum, produced to what Mako describes as the highest machining standards and level of polish, then hand assembled and individually calibrated before the reel leaves the shop. Machining rather than casting is what allows the tolerances this reel depends on, since a sealed drag only stays sealed if the housing and lip seals meet within a very narrow band, and a quick-change spool only stays free of play if spool and spindle are cut to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrag\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e - A fully sealed multidisc full-contact carbon fiber drag using Mako's button technology, which is aimed directly at start-up friction. The spool begins turning the instant a fish pulls rather than jolting against a stack that has set while the reel sat, and that first instant is where class tippet and hook holds are lost. Maximum drag on this platform measures 15 to 17 pounds in the 9550, which is more pressure than most anglers will ever dial in and enough to turn a tarpon or lean on a giant trevally over structure. The setting you dial holds through a long run instead of fading as the stack heats, and the clicker gives a clean mechanical note in both directions at a medium pitch, sharp enough to hear without carrying across the flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e - Carbon fiber discs run inside a housing sealed by o-rings and proprietary carbon impregnated Teflon lip seals. Sealing is the entire point of a reel in this category: salt, sand and grit never reach the drag stack, so the pressure you calibrated in year one behaves the same in year ten without the reel being opened. Carbon fiber is the correct disc material here because it sheds the heat a long run generates without losing consistency as it warms, which is exactly what cork and many synthetic stacks fail to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eArbor Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Arbor\u003c\/strong\u003e - The 9550 is a large arbor reel, with a 2.65 inch arbor inside a 4 inch spool, which works out to roughly 9.62 inches of line pickup per turn at the arbor. That is not the fastest retrieve rate in the saltwater market, but it is more than adequate, and the large arbor matters more for how it stacks line than for raw speed: backing lies flat under load instead of digging into itself, and a fly line that has been out to the backing does not come back with memory coiled into it. Mako rates the 9550 for 300 to 355 yards of 50 to 60 pound braid alongside a WF9, and recommends 50 to 60 pound GSP braid as the backing. Capacity scales through the range: the 9500 takes 230 to 300 yards of 50 pound braid with a WF7, the 9600 takes 330 to 440 yards of 60 to 80 pound braid with a WF10, and the 9700 takes 410 yards and up of 100 pound braid with a WF12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMako Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e - As of August 2026, Mako warrants its reels to be free of manufacturing defects and covers repair or replacement of manufacturer defects for the lifetime of the original owner. The warranty does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or any other damage resulting from use of the reel, and any modification that alters the reel's calibrated settings can void coverage, so drag work goes back to Mako rather than to an outside bench.

With this series of reels, Sage builds on and replaces their Spectrum Max series while adding 50% more drag with increased durability and a fully-improved sealing. Living up to its name and surpassing the reel's predecessor, the Enforcer is a reel that combines solid stopping power, durability, and a do-it-all collection of sizes that's ready for anything from hefty bonefish to large tarpon and even offshore species like sailfish. Taking a build and design that's influenced by their big game Thermo Reels, the Enforcer has a hassle-free and easy-to-use single-turn drag system that's equipped with numbered settings and audible clicks to make it easy to fine-tune your drag perfectly for the specie at hand. A strong reel that's equally at home wading a flat as it is fishing out of a boat, the Enforcer is cold-forged and tempered while being made from a tough and lightweight Fully machined 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum so as to remain durable and prevent corrosion while providing the perfect balance for a range of rod tapers and line weights. A reliable saltwater ready reel-yet, don't discount it for situations like Great Lakes steelhead that require a strong drag-you can count on the Enforcer to quickly take control of the battle whether you're pulling on a six-foot tarpon, crafty permit, or an offshore blackfin tuna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge Arbor Saltwater Design - Sage makes their Enforcer as a mid-priced model with all of the features needed to tackle a wide range of species and fishing environments.

Further convenience is added through Sage's Radius Cornered Reel Feet which works to prevent abrasion when wrapping your leader around your reel or when you need to make quick work out of managing your line in that initial run of a tough fish.

At its center is an adjustable cork disc drag with an enlarged diameter, which raises stopping power and lowers startup inertia. The reel is at home in fresh water and salt water alike.

Anti-reverse is the whole point of this family and it works differently from a direct drive reel: when a fish takes line the spool turns against the drag but the handle stays where it is instead of spinning backwards with it. That means your hand can stay on the handle through a run, and it means the fish is stopped by the drag setting and by rim pressure rather than by anything you do to the crank. Anglers who spend their days on tarpon, bonefish and other fish that make long fast runs tend to prefer that behavior; anglers who want to palm the handle itself or crank against a running fish are better served by a direct drive reel. Tibor lists the Salmon, Bonefish and Tarpon anti-reverse models as current production, and has discontinued every direct drive Billy Pate along with the Trout, Bluefin and Marlin anti-reverse sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three sizes use a classic solid frame with a removable spool and a full exposed rim for palming, which Tibor describes as rim control for additional braking. \u003cstrong\u003eDouble clickers\u003c\/strong\u003e give two distinct tones so you can hear whether line is leaving the spool or coming back onto it. \u003cstrong\u003eDouble anti-reverse dogs\u003c\/strong\u003e drive the anti-reverse action and are what Tibor calls positive and fail-safe on all models. Each reel is serialized for identification, and the reel ships with a service tool carrying a wrench and a screwdriver blade so the owner can take it apart for cleaning. The Salmon frame measures 3.5 by 1.5 inches, the Bonefish 3.5 by 1.65 inches, and the Tarpon 3.75 by 1.96 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Billy Pate is sold in one finish: a Platinum frame and drag knob with a jet black spool. Unlike the Signature and Tibor series, it is not part of Tibor's custom color program and carries no nameplate, so there are no alternate reel or hub colors to specify. Optional Salmon, Bonefish or Tarpon fish engraving is offered on the frame at no charge, and custom text or artwork engraving is available as a paid option at the time of order. Tibor will not re-finish a reel after the fact, on the grounds that removing and re-polishing the surface thins the aluminum, so the finish a reel leaves the shop with is the one it keeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame and spool are machined from solid bar stock aluminum rather than cast, which is what allows the tight tolerances and the long service life Tibor trades on. The handle is Delrin, chosen because it grips easily when wet and resists impact. Every Billy Pate is made and assembled in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDrag\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e - A large diameter impregnated main drag that Tibor specifies for ultra-smooth and long wearing performance, backed by rim control on the exposed spool rim for extra braking on top of the drag setting. Tibor does not describe this drag as sealed anywhere in its own material, and it should not be assumed to be: it is an owner-serviceable drag that Tibor expects you to lubricate periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e - The drag runs on an impregnated cork disc. Tibor states that Tibor Graphite Lube may be used to lubricate the cork drag disc, and specifically warns against Neatsfoot Oil because it can dry the cork out over time. Cork is the reason the drag starts up so smoothly under a sudden run, and periodic lubrication is what keeps it that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArbor Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTibor publishes no arbor classification for the Billy Pate, so we are not going to assign one. What Tibor does publish is the geometry and what it holds: the Salmon takes 230 yards of 20 lb backing behind a WF6F line, 215 yards behind a WF7F and 200 yards behind a WF8F. The Bonefish takes 300 yards of 20 lb backing behind a WF7F, 285 yards behind a WF8F and 275 yards behind a WF9F. The Tarpon steps up to 30 lb backing and holds 350 yards behind a WF10F, 320 yards behind a WF11F and 300 yards behind a WF12F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTibor reels carry a limited lifetime warranty covering repair or replacement of any part that fails through a defect in material or workmanship. It is valid for the original owner only, is non-transferable, and applies only to reels bought through an authorized Tibor dealer. It does not cover damage from accident, misuse, neglect, improper maintenance or normal wear from use, and Tibor decides at its own discretion whether a fault qualifies. Colors can vary between original and replacement parts, and parts for discontinued models may be substituted with current ones. Any reel sent in for repair or service must include an 85 dollar service fee whether or not the work is covered, and non-warranty repairs are quoted for approval first. Retrieve hand is chosen at purchase: converting a current Billy Pate between left and right hand retrieve is a factory job that requires replacing the main gear and drag parts, and Tibor cannot convert discontinued Billy Pate models at all.

Jack Charlton always meant to build a light freshwater reel and never got the chance; engineer Tom Kapusta finished the idea, carrying the sealed carbon drag and machining standards from Mako's big-game saltwater reels into a 3.5-inch, 6.3-ounce frame that balances a 4, 5, or 6 weight rod. Critically, this is not a downsized tarpon reel. Maximum drag is held to 3.5 pounds, which is where a trout reel belongs when you are fishing 5X, and everything that would have gone into stopping power went instead into drag smoothness, machining tolerance, and a knob you can read by feel with a fish on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 3.5-Inch Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e - Mako sized the 7450 around the 4 to 6 weight range rather than scaling an existing saltwater model down. At 6.3 ounces it sits where a modern 5 weight wants weight to sit, and reviewers who have fished it report it balancing cleanly on a 5 weight without needing a butt weight to compensate. The spool is deeply ported through two rings of perimeter slots and a skeletonized center, which keeps the swing weight low and lets backing dry between trips instead of sitting damp under a fly line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e360-Degree Drag Rotation\u003c\/strong\u003e - The full drag range lives in a single turn of the knob, a direct carry-over from the one-turn-stop calibration Mako built its saltwater reels around. Instead of hunting through three or four turns to find a setting, you learn the clock face once and can go from free to full without looking down. Tom Kapusta also detailed the knob so it indexes with the tactile feel of a watch bezel, so adjustments register in your fingers mid-fight rather than needing a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Anodized\u003c\/strong\u003e - The 7450 is offered in black, finished with the Type III hard anodizing Mako uses across its line, which gives the surface a near-ceramic hardness. That matters less for corrosion on a freshwater reel than it does for abrasion: this is the finish that survives being set down on granite, dragged across a drift boat gunwale, and knocked around a wading belt. The prototype reportedly passed a deliberate rock impact test twice before the model was signed off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachined Aluminum with Titanium Internals\u003c\/strong\u003e - The frame and spool are machined to the same tolerances as Mako's saltwater reels, and the internal components are titanium. Titanium is the expensive answer to a real problem on a light reel: it holds up under load without adding the mass steel would, so the drag internals stay stiff and dimensionally stable while the finished reel still comes in at 6.3 ounces. It is a large part of why this reel costs what it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrag\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e - A fully sealed trilobe carbon fiber drag, with a maximum of 3.5-plus pounds at full setting. Sealing is the practical benefit here even in freshwater, since a sealed stack does not care about river grit, snowmelt, sand in a boat bag, or a full day of rain, and it will not need to be opened up and cleaned to keep feeling the same in year five. Mako's carbon drags are built to eliminate start-up friction, which is the specification that actually protects light tippet: the spool turns the instant a fish pulls rather than jolting against a stuck stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e - Carbon fiber discs in a trilobe arrangement, running against titanium internals inside the sealed housing. Carbon fiber sheds the heat generated during a run without losing consistency as it warms, so the pressure you set at the start of a fight is the pressure still applied at the end of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArbor Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Arbor\u003c\/strong\u003e - The 7450 runs a large arbor inside its 3.5-inch frame, holding 200 yards of 20 pound braided backing plus a 5 weight floating line. The payoff is retrieve rate and line memory: every turn of the handle recovers a meaningful amount of line when a fish runs at you, and line coming off a wide-diameter spool lies flat instead of springing into coils in front of the stripping guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMako Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e - As of August 2026, Mako reels carry a lifetime warranty to the original owner covering repair or replacement for manufacturer defects. It is not transferable to a second owner, and it does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental damage arising from use of the reel. Any modification that alters the reel's factory-calibrated settings can void coverage, so drag work should go back to Mako rather than to a bench.
