American-made bar-stock durability and silky cork-drag precision for heavy trout and light saltwater.
Handcrafted in Delray Beach, Florida, the Tibor Backcountry brings Ted Juracsik’s legendary big-game engineering down to a versatile 5/6/7-weight platform. Machined from solid bar-stock aluminum with minimal moving parts, the Backcountry features an upgraded impregnated cork disc drag system that protects fragile tippets while offering the smooth, consistent pressure needed for hard-fighting trout, bass, bonefish, and redfish. Outfitted with an oversized ergonomic handle borrowed from the Everglades series, it gives you instant control when fish make sudden runs.
Why You Need This Reel
If you want a bulletproof, heirloom-quality reel that bridges the gap between heavy western river trout, streamer fishing, and light coastal flats, the Backcountry is built to last a lifetime. Its quick-release spool makes line swaps effortless, while the simple, field-serviceable cork drag delivers zero startup inertia and reliable heat dissipation.
Condition Note
This pre-owned reel is in Good condition. The anodized aluminum frame shows light cosmetic surface scuffs and minor rim wear from normal field use, while remaining structurally sound. The spool rotates smoothly, the clicker monitors incoming and outgoing line crisply, and the impregnated cork drag operates with classic Tibor smoothness.
