What Makes Teton Fly Reels "BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE"
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.
- 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
than just anodization alone.

Dear Sir’s:
We have been in the guiding business
here in Alaska for more than 21 years. Our
clients pay big bucks for the experience of
taking a trophy rainbow or salmon. Over the
years we have fished many different brand
reels, but have to admit none better than your
Teton.
Our guides expect top quality
equipment-rods and reels they can depend
on. There is no room for broken equipment or
down time. We will continue to endorse your
fine reels, and recommend them to all out
clients.
Keep up the excellent quality work, and
if you are ever planning a trip to Alaska give
