The SL Large Arbor Saltwater Series designed to tackle the biggest prey

The reliable SL series has been proven over the past 20 years when targeting bonefish, tigerfish, marlin and arapaima in remote, hostile environments. What makes this reel so durable? It’s crafted from solid 6082 T6 high grade bar stock aluminum and features a custom-processed cork drag with enclosed one-way plungers. The range is available in sizes SL4 to SL8 for line weights 6 to 16. This is the reel of choice for many large guiding operations due to its simple, robust design. The reel can be ordered with an incoming and outgoing click or silent outgoing with an incoming click. The SL range is available in titanium, black, blue, turquoise, purple, red, burnt gold or custom color.

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!
