Once again, Tibor Reels sets the standard for quality, design and innovation with the Tibor Signature Series. 2011 marked the 45th Anniversary of Tibor Reel Corporation, and to celebrate, Tibor introduced a revolutionary new line of reels that are the pinnacle of 45 years of designing and manufacturing the world’s finest fly fishing reels.
Signed by Master reel designer and fly fisherman Ted “Tibor” Juracsik, the elegant and efficient design of the Tibor Signature Series consists of very few parts. It features a completely ventilated spool and frame that keeps the reel cool during long, smoking runs and provides a robust incoming and outgoing clicker sound. Available in five sizes, the Tibor Signature Series delivers the same tough standards that have earned Tibor over 950 world records – more than any other fly reel.

This reel will be used for roostergish and dorado in Baja. First impressions are that it is well built and slightly heavier than advertised at 9.8 ounces. Outgoing and incoming sound is very audible, but not noisy. Nice anodizing in the Graphite color. Drag is smoother than my Abel Super 9/10Ns, but slightly less strong just pulling backing off the reel. No discernible start up inertia. Only when the drag is maxed out, the spool is slightly more resistant to reeling in. Larger diameter at 4.25 vs Riptide at 4.0. I would by another , but production is limited and hard to find another 9-10 now.
The staff at Blackfoot was very helpful in sending me additional photos and answering questions before purchase.
