"The most beautiful machines have the least moving parts."
No matter how technological the fishing industry becomes, it's nice to
know it still holds a place for the timeless values of integrity and
Old World craftsmanship. In the world of fly fishing, that place is
occupied by legends like Billy Pate, Lefty Kreh and a Hungarian tool
and die master with a passion for fly fishing and a gift for reel
design: Tibor "Ted" Juracsik of Tibor Fly Reels.
Ted's family business, Tibor (pronounced TEE-bor) Reel Corporation, is
the world leader in the design and manufacture of the highest quality
fly fishing reels. Juracsik revolutionized the saltwater fly fishing
reel industry with the introduction of his first anti-reverse Billy
Pate Fly Reel in 1976, followed by the internationally acclaimed line
of Tibor Fly Reels in 1995, the innovative freshwater Tibor Light series in
1999, and in 2005, the exciting Tibor QC Series of Fly Reels - destined to be
another classic.
Tibor fly reels are made "by fishermen for fishermen," and the Juracsik
family is proud their products are 100% "Made in the USA." With the
exception of the ball bearings, every part of every reel is precision
machined and hand assembled in their Delray Beach facility. Ted's
belief in design based on simplicity and functionality goes back to his
days as a young apprentice. "The old masters always told me the most
beautiful machines have the least moving parts," he says.
At the recent International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Inaugural
World Record Achievement Awards, Tibor Reel Corporation received First
Place honors for the most world records set on their fly reels in 2007.
IGFA Hall of Fame fisherman Lefty Kreh describes Tibor Reels as "the
finest saltwater fly reels I have ever used." They are the prized
possession of every fisherman who owns one. Each is capable of
delivering a lifetime of virtually maintenance-free fly fishing enjoyment
for which Tibor Fly Reels are famous.
