The Billy Pate Salmon
1976 was a hallmark year for the fly fishing world. It was then that Ted Juracsik introduced his first Anti-Reverse Tarpon Reel designated the Billy Pate.
This series now includes three Anti-Reverse models, for rod weights 6-12. No other reel has matched the Billy Pate's durability and dependability day in day out, year after year, regardless of conditions, locale or species. This precision piece of equipment is designed and constructed to withstand the most demanding fly fishing environments. As with all reels that leave Ted's shop, the Billy Pate is virtually maintenance free.
While there are over 225 World Records that attest to its performance, you don't have to be interested in records to appreciate this reel. If you know your fly fishing history, you know this is the reel that set the hook.
Anti-Reverse Explained
The Anti-reverse action of Billy Pate reels is the stuff of legend among thousands of Billy Pate owners. If you are new to these fantastic, incredibly durable reels, you may be wondering how Anti-reverse works. The handle only turns in one direction--as line is wound into the reel. The handle and the spool are controlled by independent gears, so there is an actual outgoing drag on the spool for fighting fish. And the drag is an incredibly smooth, powerful, and superior drag that is controlled by the exterior gear located conveniently on the inner hub of the handle. The Billy Pate drags can be instantly adjusted from a light setting to one that will practically halt the charge of any big game fish.
Benefits of Anti-Reverse:
- Since the handle will not spin with the spool as line is taken off the reel, your hands and knuckles can't get smacked by a spinning handle
- You can keep your hand on the handle throughout the fight with a big game fish
- Keeping your hand on the handle throughout the fight improves the chances of landing large fish--especially if they turn direction quickly and run back at you and you have to instantly pick line back up again
