The SR series is the latest of the Shilton saltwater fly reel range. The SR series is the follow up of the legendary SL range which put Shilton on the map. These fly reels are specifically designed for the most remote and hostile environments. The overall diameter of the cork drag has been increased, resulting in less start-up inertia and more stopping power. The robust design is crafted from solid 6082 T6 high grade bar stock aluminium and features an additional enclosed one-way plunger (from 2 to 3) for extra drag engagement and durability. The range is available in sizes from the SR8 (8WT) to the SR12 (12WT). This is the reel of choice for many anglers as it features a modern appearance with a simple, robust and “bulletproof” design. The SR range has been sized to match both single handed and double handed rods.
