If you know your fly fishing history, you know this is the reel that set the hook. When Ted Juracsik unveiled the first Billy Pate Anti-Reverse Tarpon Reel in 1976, fly fishing was forever changed. The beloved Billy Pate series now includes three anti-reverse models, for rod weights 6 to 12.

To date, Billy Pate reels have over 200 World Records to their credit, but you don’t have to be interested in setting records to appreciate their timeless design and durability. Day in day out, year after year, no matter the conditions, locale or species, this precision piece of equipment is designed and constructed to perform flawlessly. As with every reel that leaves our shop, the Billy Pate is made and assembled in the USA, virtually maintenance free and backed with our limited lifetime warranty.
