Shilton SL5 Reel

The Shilton SL5 reel is the reel of choice for many large guiding operations to place on their loan rods due to its “bulletproof” design. This reel has a track record of 20 years in the most remote and hostile environments targeting powerful adversaries like salmon, steelhead, tigerfish, golden dorado, bonefish, and permit. The robust design is crafted from solid 6082 T6 high-grade bar stock aluminum and features a custom-processed cork drag with enclosed, one-way plungers. The SL5 accommodates 7 to 8 weight lines and can be ordered with an incoming and outgoing click or silent outgoing with an incoming click.
