SHILTON FLY REELS – NEW SL5 & SL7 LARGE ARBORS - August 2004

The superb range of CL & SL series Shilton fly reels are proving to be the best fly reels money can buy.  This is a world class reel which cannot be beaten on quality and price.

Our latest addition to the SL Large Arbor series includes the SL5 which is going to be a winner for Largemouth Yellowfish and the SL7 for heavy-duty offshore saltwater fly fishing .

These precision-machined aluminium reels are crafted using the latest CNC technology.

The large custom processed high-grade cork drag delivers a very smooth and powerful drag system with exceptionally low start-up inertia.

Shilton fly reels also have a click type drag knob for consistent setting.

The Shilton fly reel’s washers and springs are captive within the draw bar cap resulting in less loose parts when changing spools.

The exposed palming rim has been specifically designed for additional control.

These reels have an extremely simple disassembly procedure for cleaning after saltwater use.

Every reel is supplied with a durable pouch, which has been specifically designed to fit the reel while still on the fly rod, and comes with a bottle of drag lube.

All Shilton fly reels are saltwater approved and come with a limited life warranty.   

Shilton fly reels have been extensively tested by the top fly fishing guides in and out of South Africa, from whom we have received exceptional feedback.

The reels come in a genuine leather pouch.  Contact your local tackle dealer for prices.


(FLY FISHING AND FLY TYING- U.K OCTOBER 2005)

“The SL6 looks pretty and feels just gorgeous - everthing tight, every edge smooth... flawless machining.”

(TROUT AND SALMON- U.K APRIL 2005)
“SL5 - South African Beauty”
“The ideal choice for stillwater and sea trout fishers.”

(TROUT AND SALMON- U.K SEPTEMBER 2005)
“Could be a classic”
“The CK2 joins a range that has earned it’s pedigree with saltwater fly anglers, 
but is ideal for the river trout fisherman who needs only one prized reel for his 
dry fly forays.”


(THE COMPLETE FLY FISHERMAN - AUGUST 2004)
“I cannot speak highly enough of the reel made by Shilton. It's standard of engineering
is little short of breathtaking - the thing has a beauty of it's own and it is functional to boot. Once they are discovered on the overseas market, I predict that we will battle for stock locally.  The drag is easily adjustable and takes off smoothly, nor with an initial resistance which can break you up. Well presented in a genuine leather pouch, these reels are a joy to own.”
