Description / Shilton SL Series Fly Reels
Introducing the Shilton SL Series Fly Reels, a reel with a track record of 20 years in the most remote and hostile environments targeting the most powerful adversaries. These super powerful and lightweight fly reels are perfectly designed for the saltwater enthusiast.
The SL Series reels are precision-machined from 6082 T6 high-grade bar stock aluminium, known for its strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance. This material ensures the reel can withstand the rigours of saltwater fishing, frequent use, and the most demanding angling situations. The robust design ensures your reel performs flawlessly, even in extreme environments, giving you the confidence to take on big fish in any conditions.
One of the standout features of the Shilton SL Series is its superior cork drag system. This drag is meticulously custom-processed and enclosed to provide maximum reliability and smoothness under pressure. The cork drag offers a seamless transition from light to heavy drag settings, allowing you to effortlessly manage sudden bursts of speed from powerful fish. The enclosed design protects the drag system from water, dirt, and debris, ensuring long-lasting, maintenance-free operation.
The SL Series is equipped with enclosed one-way plungers, allowing for precise drag control and smooth operation. This feature ensures a smooth start-up with minimal resistance, preventing line breakage during the initial runs of large, hard-fighting fish. The one-way mechanism also guarantees that the reel only spins in one direction, preventing any unwanted backpedal or slack, which is crucial during intense fights.
The SL8 model is designed to accommodate 7 to 8 weight lines, making it ideal for a variety of species and fishing scenarios. Whether you’re casting in freshwater for salmon or venturing to tropical flats for bonefish, this reel offers the versatility and line capacity needed for diverse angling experiences.
The Shilton SL8 offers incoming and outgoing click options, allowing you to customise the reel's sound to your preference. You can opt for the classic incoming and outgoing click or choose a silent outgoing click with an incoming click for a quieter operation. This level of customisation is perfect for anglers who prefer a more discreet approach or those who enjoy the traditional feel of audible reel clicks.
The Shilton SL Series Fly Reel is available in a range of models for you to choose from in our drop down menu and come supplied in a protective reel pouch.
