Tibor Gulfstream // Custom Tarpon Reel
The Tibor Gulfstream has the size to provide ample space for 11+ weight lines and ample backing. The large arbor and overall size also provides a quick retrieve rate, and smooth rollout when a Tarpon surges. We feel like this is a sharp looking reel and will do your quarry justice!
These engraved reels are built for Red’s and in stock, that means no having to wait 2-4 weeks for them to be built! It has a Tarpon engraved on the reel itself, and the nameplate has “TARPON” engraved on it. If you would like your name or an engraving of your choice on the nameplate, let us know in the order comments and we can send that to you separately for a small charge.
About Tibor Reels
The Tibor series of reels were first introduced in 1995 and have established themselves as the benchmark for custom-crafted fly reels. After years of development, Ted was finally satisfied with a reel that truly has set a new standard in fly fishing reel technology.
The spool’s large arbor design significantly enhances the rate of line retrieval which is critical when you’re trying to control speedsters like bonefish, bonito, or wahoo. Tibor Reels are also a mainstay for Spey enthusiasts, delivering the ultimate balance, overall capacity and drag performance for the double-handed rod.
As with all of Ted’s reels, the drag system is absolutely flawless and has withstood the test of the world’s most demanding game fish, including over 850 World Records so far. If you were to own only one fly reel, this is the one to have.
Features of Tibor Reels:
- Large outer hub diameters offer quick retrieve, even when the backing is low.

Tibor Reel Maintenance
After each use, Tibor Reels should be rinsed thoroughly in fresh water. Periodically, especially after extensive exposure to saltwater, the line and backing should be removed and wiped down with a wet cloth to remove salt.
To disassemble a reel for cleaning, the only tool required is a penny. All reels are lubricated at the factory prior to assembly and relubrication is generally not necessary. Tibor Graphite Lube may be used to lubricate the cork drag disc.
Please note: Exceeding the recommended capacity by over-filling the spool and/or putting line on too tightly or with too much tension may damage the spool and is not covered under warranty. Please refer to the capacity chart above as your guide. Monofilment line is not recommended for use on Tibor reels. Should you have any questions about backing for your reel, please contact your authorized Tibor Dealer.
Conversion from Left to Right Hand Retrieve
Tibor Reels can be easily converted from Left to Right Hand Retrieve by relocating the clutch dogs. Complete warranty, maintenance and conversion information is included with each reel, or download complete instructions and a parts list in PDF format here.
