ABOUT SHILTON REELS:
The founder of Shilton Reels, Tony Fritelli, who is also an avid fly fisherman, noticed a need in the fly fishing market back in 1997. Combining his engineering expertise and his extensive knowledge of what was missing in other fly reels, he designed the first reel of the Shilton CL Series. Enjoying wide success and popularity of the CL, Shilton Reels began R&D on a saltwater range. The challenges of saltwater reels to be solved included sand getting into the drag system, the build-up of salt in the reel, and of course, the need for the smoothest drag possible to stop the beasts of the flats. This brought about the SL and more recently the SR Series. The easily accessible full open cork drag system makes it is easy for you to clean and service your reels in seconds without even taking your reel off your rod. Shilton has a full selection of replacement parts, meaning you don’t even need to send your reel in to be repaired – you can do it yourself!
