Shilton SL7 Purple Reel (11-12wt) - *Now called SL12 - New Color!
*Note on the Shilton SL Series: New names for 2024 but nothing mechanical is changing on the reels. This was just so the names would correspond better to the respective rod weights. The SL7 will now be called SL12 as in 12wt for example. You may receive a reel marked with either "SL7" or "SL12" but it is the exact same reel.
The SL7 is the reel of choice for many large guiding operations to place on their loan rods due to its “bulletproof” design. This reel has a track record of 20 years in the most remote and hostile environments targeting powerful adversaries like salmon, arapaima, giant trevally, tarpon, wahoo and sailfish. 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. The SL7 accommodates 11 to 12 weight lines and can be ordered with an incoming and outgoing click or silent outgoing with an incoming click. Custom color options are titanium (silver), black, blue, turquoise, purple, red, golden orange or a custom color combination of these for various parts.
