The Billy Pate Tarpon Direct Drive is the ultimate big-game fly reel, purpose-built for tackling the intense runs of Tarpon, King Salmon, and Stripers in unforgiving saltwater. Designed to handle 10 to 12 weight fly lines, it delivers the necessary stopping power and spool capacity to subdue the strongest game fish. This model is celebrated by serious anglers for its absolute reliability and rugged performance in demanding fly fishing environments.

Manufactured by Tibor, this reel is machined in Florida from solid bar stock aluminum, creating a frame of exceptional strength and rigidity without excessive weight. The hallmark Direct Drive features a massive main drag system renowned for its butter-smooth, consistent performance, which is vital for protecting tippets under blistering runs. Anglers benefit from the added control of a palmable rim, offering instant, aggressive braking when a fish makes its move. This reel's performance has been proven on countless world record fish.

This pre-owned Billy Pate Tarpon fly reel is in excellent condition, set up for right-hand retrieve. It shows only minor rub marks on the reel face and rim, consistent with light and careful use. This is a tremendous opportunity to acquire a legendary fly reel known for its bombproof construction and performance at a significant saving vs. new. Don't let this chance to upgrade your big-game gear pass you by.
