What Makes Teton Fly Reels
"BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE"

Spools and Frames Machined 
from Solid Bar Stock Aluminum

Fly reels machined from bar stock aluminum provide the maximum in strength and durability.  Using only premium aircraft grade aluminum alloy, Teton employs the latest computer numeric controlled machining technology.  Our reels are machined to the tightest tolerances in the industry for extremely smooth operation.

Anodizing

All Teton reels are anodized to provide the hardest and most durable finish possible on aluminum.  Anodizing also inhibits corrosion as it removes the conductivity of the metal.  With reasonable care, your Teton fly reels should maintain its beauty and function for generations.

Full Cage Construction

Often a fly fisherman's greatest fear is that his reel will meet an untimely demise against a rock, prematurely ending a days fishing.  Full frame construction, a feature on all Teton reels, ensures your reel will maintain its structural integrity even through a severe beating.  Our full cages have been designed to weigh no more than a comparably sized open cage reel.
 

Patented Disc Drag System

Teton's patented disc drag systems feature discs made of delrin, a superb material because of its rugged durability and ability to disperse heat.  These qualities ensure your drag will perform flawlessly even through the longest run.  A neoprene washer incorporated in the drag design provides a shock absorbing effect to lessen the impact of the sudden taking of line when a fish initiates its run.

Sealed Components = Salt Water Durability

All disc drag components and clicker parts are sealed for protection against contaminates such as silt, grit, and salt water.  If your reel is exposed to dirt, just rinse if off and return to fishing.  After fishing in salt water rinse your reel in fresh water and you're ready for another day.

Interchangeable Regular and Large Arbor Spools

The Teton, Trinity and Tioga reels offer interchangeable regular and large arbor spools for most size reels.  This allows the angler to reap the benefit of large arbor technology without having to acquire more than one reel frame.

Lifetime Warranty

All Teton Fly Reels are backed by an unconditional guarantee to the original owner.

Simplicity, rugged durability and functional beauty, combined with an incredibly smooth patented drag system, have made Teton Reels the choice of guides, expert fly anglers and novices worldwide.

Proven in fresh and saltwater, the Teton has met the challenge of a wide variety of game fish - from hard fighting tarpon and blistering-run bonefish, to the exiting range of fighters found in fresh-water streams, rivers, lakes and ponds everywhere.

One of the biggest benefits of the Teton line is its versatility.  With the option of interchangeable, large arbor spools, anglers can quickly adapt their set-up to a variety of conditions.  If the fish call for the capacity and faster retrieve of large arbor reel, simply snap one into place and continue fishing.

The patented Teton drag system (U.S. Pat. #5590847) consists of two discs, separated by a heat sink.  Friction is applied through the center on four different surfaces.  Tension is applied using a treated neoprene washer, which also acts as a shock absorber.  The two discs are different diameters, one 50% smaller than the other.  The friction surfaces are machined flat and parallel within .0002 of-an-inch.  the drag system has nine parts of which only one piece moves "one" moving part.  Another feature is an adjustable stripping tension,  independent of the main drag system, which can be adjusted by anyone.

All Teton Reels are anodized with Type-3 hard anodize.  Anodizing is a process that electrically changes the surface of aluminum to aluminum oxide - the hardest man-made substance.  After anodizing they are dyed and sealed.  The color has nothing to do with the anodizing. Teton Reels are available to Dealers in Gunmetal Blue, Black and Gunsmoke.

Teton Does Saltwater!  The Teton Saltwater Series reels (Size #7 and up) are treated with a new, proprietary A059 Teflon coating process which will add 1000 more hours of saltwater protection over type-3 anodizing.  To insure the long life of our reels when used in a saltwater environment cleanse with freshwater and lubricate with a light household oil.
