With over 20 world records, it's no wonder
that Billy Pate reels are the preference of anglers and guides around the
world. It is the reel most often seen in a bonefish or tarpon guide's
boat. Since Ted Juracsik first introduced his anti-reverse Tarpon reel in
1976, Billy Pate reels have established a reputation for being extremely
dependable, durable reels that render flawless performance while being
virtually maintenance free.
Billy Pate Fly Reels are manufactured in six model sizes
that cover the entire range of fly fishing pursuits. All models are
offered in anti-reverse models only; and a choice
between left or right hand retrieve. All reels are satin gold and jet
black finish.

Solid back frame prevents sand and salt intrusion into

frame allows sand and salt intrusion into the inner-workings of
the reel.
