I went to their web site, www.shiltonreels.com, and the very first
thing you read is a recommendation to buy Abel or Tibor instead of
Shilton!!!
Welcome To Shilton Reels

Why buy a Shilton Reel, When for a very similar amount you could buy an
Abel or Tibor Reel MADE IN THE USA with a lifetime warranty. Both
Companies who have the highest IGFA record counts. And who you know will
be around in 5 years. Because they are the oldest modern reel makers in
the world. For more information on Tibor or Abel reels please see:
