The SL series is the most popular of the Shilton range with a track record of 20 years in the most remote and hostile environments targeting anything from bonefish and tigerfish to marlin, arapaima and salmon. The robust design is crafted from solid 6082 T6 high grade bar stock aluminium and features a custom-processed cork drag with enclosed one-way plungers. This is the reel of choice for many large guiding operations due to its simple, robust and “bulletproof” design.
