"I was looking for a high quality non-large arbor reel, and when I saw the Shilton CL fly reel in Chile, I heard the angels singing in the heavens."

"I fish exclusively with Shilton Reels as they are perfectly suited to the task of performing in one of the toughest saltwater environments."

STUART HENSHILWOOD
(HOOKED ON AFRICA FISHING CHARTERS, PROFESSIONAL GUIDE)
"My Shilton reels are awesome!!! I have a couple of SL7's that have worked hard catching anything from Snoek to 58kg Yellowfin Tuna. Neither of them have faltered even after consecutive Yellowfin battles totalling almost 5 hours with little breathing space in between!"

JAMES WILLIAMS
(JUST REELS, USA)
"The Shilton Reels performed flawlessly. I really believe this reels is in the class of the top two American brands. All of my reviews are always spot-on honest. I don't beat around the bush. If I don't like a reel at all I just never even mention it again. I really was impressed with your product."

CHAD HUBBARD
(OWNER - BLUEWATER FLIES AND WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTOR - SHILTON REELS)
"Aesthetically beautiful and brilliantly functional, the drag is an absolute pleasure and I'm sure the fish will disagree."

GERHARD LAUBSCHER
(FLYCASTAWAY, PROFESSIONAL GUIDE)

"There is no substitute for a smooth drag when fishing light tippet."

"We've landed a couple of bus fish on this trip, some even on nylon, and it wouldn't have been possible without those smooth Shilton drags."
