Tibor Riptide Fly Reel

Tibor Riptide Fly ReelA nice Tibor Riptide reel by Ted Juracsik. LHW. Mint, unused condition. 4" diameter, 1" spool width. Weighs 9. 7 oz. Capacity for a WF10 & 200 yards of backing. Satin gold finish with the latest porting design in the spool to reduce weight. The nameplate on the back is blank though I believe Tibor can make you a customized one should you desire.
