Tibor’s legendary cork drag system delivers silky smooth pressure and dependable stopping power for demanding game fish and long, intense runs.
Built from solid bar stock aluminum, the Everglades features a ventilated spool and frame to help keep the reel cool during extended fights.

I was blown away with the expediency, customer service, and availability of this product. It’s sold out everywhere online, and this shop made it stream lined and easy to get a product I thought would be on a six month plus back log. Thank you guys so much!
Great service getting the Tibor Everglades delivered in time to hunt some snook deep in a no motor zone of the glades! The Tibor Everglades reel is beautifully smooth and with a SA textured line it makes a great combination. Can’t wait to get it tested on some bigger fish where I know it will shine!
Needed a bonefish reel in a pinch. These folks delivered. Thanks.
Love the smooth drag and the sound it makes when a big bonefish rips line.
Such an easy ordering experience. Came so fast and was exactly what I wanted. The line credit was nice too, I can't wait to fish it. I would definitely buy from this dealer again, they're super knowledgeable and friendly.
Fin and feather took my order after 12pm and had backing line on it and shipped the same day. Love the reel, everything works and looks great.
Great reel and always great customer service!
I couldn’t be happier with my new Tibor Everglades reel. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding, and it feels incredibly solid and smooth in the hand. It’s exactly what I expected from Tibor and absolutely worth the investment. This is a reel I expect to be fishing with for many years.
Fin and Fire was absolutely fantastic to deal with. They had by far the best prices and stock and they were super friendly and helpful with questions on best backing, comparison of fly lines, and applications. They had my Everglades reel loaded and shipped the same day I ordered it and I got it two days later. I cant recommend them highly enough!! I will without question continue to shop only with them.
Great experience from the Fin & Fire crew!
have yet to fish with this real, but I have other Tibors and they are very smooth, durable, and easy to maintain.
Have not used it yet, but have a much older model that still performs like a new one! Tibor is the best.
Outstanding service. Very patient with a novice (salt water) fly fisherman. Will absolutely use y’all again and let my fishing buddies know of your expertise, patience and on-point education. thanks!
Buying my Tiber Everglades from Fin and Fire fly shop was one of the easiest online shopping experiences I’ve ever had. Ordered the reel on Thursday and it came Saturday morning. Will definitely be buying another Tibor reel from this shop in the future!
Fin and Fire had the Everglades grey in stock and shipped it out quickly. This is a great reel!

Finest reel I've ever owned. I spend a lot of time catching salmon in saltwater and it's hard to find a reel that can hold up in those conditions. I'm thrilled with this reel and appreciate the lightning fast shipping.
I purchased the Tibor Everglades reel from Fin and Fire fly shop over the phone. They made the purchase of this hard to find reel very easy. They verified it was available took my info and got it in the mail almost immediately. I can’t wait to hit the salt with my new reel!
