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.  It is no wonder that Ted Juracsik named this reel after Billy Pate. It's hard to believe when you first meet this humble, soft spoken southern gentleman that Billy Pate holds more big game fly rod world records than anyone else in the world.
After some conversation however, you realize that his success has come from a relentless quest that has carried him to every ocean in the world and a demanding attitude toward his tackle and his own performance.  Share his experience. Fish with Billy Pate Reels.
This series now includes four Anti-Reverse models, for rod weights 6-14. 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 200 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.
