The Shilton SR Series is the latest addition to the already sterling range of Shilton fly reels. The SR series have been designed from the ground up with the saltwater angler in mind, rugged functionality with high grade 6082 T6 aluminium to give you the edge you need in any saltwater scenario.
The overall diameter of the cork drag has been increased, resulting in less start up inertia and more stopping power, as well as adding one extra plunger (from 2 to 3), for extra drag engagement and durability.
The reels are available in
• SR9 (9 weight),
• SR10 (10 weight)
• SR12 (12 weight)

When the very first Shilton saltwater fly reels were introduced to the market, they were an instant success and have become one of the tried and tested saltwater reels in the industry. The Shilton SL range features a custom-processed cork disc drag, and the same high quality anodizing used for all the Shilton Reel ranges, the SL series quickly became the choice reel for many large guiding operations due to its simple and effective design. Constant use and time in the field is the only real test.

The CR4 has the same technical design features as the other CR sizes, but has been increased in size and surface area offering more drag for those larger fresh water species. The CR4 is proving to be popular amongst anglers who are targeting tiger fish, bass and large Salmonoid species with 7 and 8 weight rods. The CR reels have a contemporary design without sacrificing function or rugged durability. The CR3 reel has the option of two spools: the standard CR3 spool for 5-6 weight lines and the CR3 EX spool for 7 weight lines and more backing capacity. Although the CR range has a super large arbor and naturally look bigger than their fresh water cousins they are perfectly balanced with their recommended line weights and are lighter than the CK range.
