Mako sharks in the southern Pacific Ocean, fired-up black marlin teased up off the coast of Australia, giant bluefin tuna in our home coast of New England, it doesn't matter what hot pelagic species you're chasing, Tibor's Pacific Reel has everything that you need to tame and tackle the toughest fish out there. The Pacific is the largest reel in the Tibor Reel family, and it's suited for rods in the 13 through 16 weight class, while holding a whopping 600 yards of backing. Let us know when you find a fish that can rip off six football fields of backing before a Pacific Reel can tame it, because we want to go after it. Quite possibly one of the most timeless saltwater reels on the market since Ted Juracsik introduced the series in 1995, the Tibor Pacific is like that fine scotch that you bring out only on special occasions, except that it has all of the performance that you need for tough use every time you're on the water. Heck, Tibor reels have been used to beat records across over 250 different species, and if there's one reel that's truly reliable for almost anything, it's a Tibor. Beautifully crafted out of true state-of-the-art materials, the Pacific features an unsealed cork drag for quick and on-the-fly maintenance-with an ultra-high-quality aluminum frame, and both the incoming and outgoing sound of a Tibor truly are second-to-none. Designed and built in Delray Beach, Florida, the Pacific represents true American craftsmanship and can stand up to generations of long days on the water.
Design
Large Arbor Saltwater Design - Tibor's Pacific is crafted to perfection, and its large arbor design, coupled with the non-existent startup inertia of its cork drag, ensures that every fight you get yourself into is as smooth as can be. This large arbor design has ample line pickup to quickly get your line back on your reel, no matter how far that hot amberjack took you into the backing. And as Ted Jurascik himself says, the most beautiful machines have the fewest moving parts; this statement is a testament to the top-shelf Tibor build that you get with a Pacific.
Finish
Frost or Polished Anodized - Tibor offers their Pacific Reel in both a polished and frost finish. These finishes are incredibly high-quality and utilize Tibor's Mil-A-8625 Type II Anodizing, which incorporates fewer polishing steps in order to create a duller and less reflective appearance-think of it as exactly what you need whenever you're waiting for a cruising trio of wary bluefin to get into casting range, the sun is right at high noon, and even the slightest reflection will blow your cover. While both of these finishes are exquisite in appearance, the polished option provides a wider range of color options, so depending on the look that you want your setup to have, one finish may offer a better fit.
Materials
Solid Bar Stock Aluminum - Tibor crafts their Pacific Reels out of quality solid bar stock aluminum. This choice leads to an incredibly durable design, and the well-thought-out porting prevents the reel from being overly heavy. Crafted with true integrity and made by fishermen for fishermen, the Pacific is a tough reel that you'll be passing down from one family generation to the next.
Drag
Impregnated Cork Drag - At the heart of the Pacific is its cork drag system. Tibor's micrograin cork drag is the gold standard of cork drag reel,s and it performs flawlessly. With zero startup inertia, this reel adds a level of smooth fish-fighting that few other reels offer, and its straightforward build requires minimal maintenance to get many years out of one of these excellent reels. Like all things Tibor, the cork drag is meticulously crafted and is the perfect size to give you awesome stopping power while also reducing any heat buildup from tough fish, and if we failed to mention the drag's elegant incoming/outgoing sound, we'd be forgetting one of the best parts about fishing a Tibor.
Materials - Tibor's cork drag is made from a premium micrograin cork. This cork material is silky smooth and holds lubricants incredibly well, allowing it to stand up to just about anything that you throw its way.
Arbor Size
Large Arbor - The Pacific is built with a large arbor design. This lets you quickly retrieve your line and wrangle brutishly fast fish while also holding all of the backing that you need to pursue serious trophies.
Warranty
Tibor Warranty - As of August 2024, all Tibor Reels have a limited lifetime warranty. This warranty covers the repair or replacement of any part due to defects in material or workmanship, and the color of materials that Tibor uses may vary between the original and the replacement parts. Tibor reserves the right to determine if the issue is a result of faulty workmanship, and this warranty does not cover damage caused by accidents, misuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or general wear and tear.
