Shilton CR4

The Shilton CR4 is a super large arbor freshwater reel that epitomises versatility and advanced design. This reel is crafted to offer a contemporary aesthetic without compromising on function or rugged durability, making it an excellent choice for any single-handed rod application. It can accommodate fly lines ranging from 7 to 8 weight, and it is particularly favoured for use with rods designed for river and still water fishing. Anglers who prefer a reel with a super large diameter and quick line retrieval will find the CR4 to be an exceptional choice. One of its standout features is the silent retrieve mechanism, both incoming and outgoing, providing a seamless fishing experience.

The CR4’s construction includes several features designed for optimal performance and longevity. It has a substantial diameter of 10.6cm (4.2 inches) and weighs 156 grams (5.5 ounces), striking a balance between sturdiness and lightweight convenience. The spool is designed with a super large arbor, which facilitates faster line retrieval and reduces line memory. The reel is protected by a Type II anodized finish, enhancing its resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of freshwater environments.

This model can handle braided backing of 140 metres at 30 pounds, paired with a WF8 line. The CR4’s silent click system ensures that there are no distracting noises while retrieving, which is often a critical factor for serious anglers. It is perfectly designated for freshwater fishing and is suitable for targeting species such as trout, yellowfish, char, and salmon.

Available in a variety of colours including titanium, black, blue, turquoise, purple, red, gold, or custom options, the Shilton CR4 not only performs exceptionally but also allows anglers to express their personal style. Whether you are fishing on a quiet river or a still lake, the CR4’s combination of functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal makes it an outstanding choice for freshwater fishing enthusiasts.
