SHILTON

1. Since 1997, Shilton has been engineering fly reels specifically designed to survive the world’s most hostile fishing environments. Based in South Africa, a region known for its punishing predatory fish, Shilton was born from the need for a reel that could stop a charging Giant Trevally or a Tigerfish without failing. Every Shilton reel is precision-machined from high-grade 6082 T6 bar-stock aluminum and finished with Type II anodizing to ensure total salt and corrosion resistance. 

The brand is globally renowned for its legendary "Big Game" cork drag systems, which provide massive stopping power with virtually zero start-up inertia. This focus on overbuilt reliability has made Shilton the "go-to" choice for international guides and destination anglers heading to remote flats, deep-sea canyons, and wild freshwater rivers. When you fish a Shilton, you are fishing a tool designed for 100% mechanical dependability when the fish of a lifetime is on the line.
