Tibor Light Reels

[seth dunn]

Hi-

[font=Comic Sans MS:1s4ompch]Any of you guys use these reels?  I've been looking for a reel to pair up with my new Steffen fiberglass rod and I really like the looks of these reels but don't have a dealer near me so I'm going to have to gather opinions and go from there.  

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have a couple of them and love them. Smooth drag and have never had any issues with them.

I have 2 salt water Tibor Lights and they are great.

I own two, a little one and a big one.

I have 4 Tibor Lights and the tippet protection(startup inertia), big fish or small is perfect, even though mine are the older non CL type.
I have fished them from 8wt in the Everglades on some decent sized Snook and Tarpon to down 3wt.
I don’t think I’d ever use anything else…

I have fished them and the only draw back is the drag knob sticking out the back. I have had line get wrapped around it or lodged between the knob and the reel. Nothing major, just a minor inconvenience.

[Karlin Bilcher]

Yes – Rob, agreed.

I love my Tibor Light CL on fiberglass!

I have three of the earlier, Spring Creek (non CL) versions in gold and use them primarily on my shorter bamboo rods.

[font=Comic Sans MS:f8813rbz]I'm glad to hear such wonderful things about these reels because I just picked up a Spring Creek CL and a Tail Water CL on eBay at a heck of a discount.  Found a store that is liquidating their smaller sized Tibor reels 🙂

I love that picture – Tibor-delic![/font:f8813rbz]

Saw two of them sitting on the counter at BP the last time I was there – last week. Closeout at 219. I assume that is a good price.
