The Ari’T Hart & Stu Apte Tarpon/Sailfish Reel (#113/250) is a rare, limited-edition fly reel built for the serious saltwater angler and discerning collector. Designed in collaboration between legendary Dutch reelmaker Ari’t Hart and saltwater fly fishing icon Stu Apte, this reel was engineered specifically for battling powerful bluewater species like tarpon, sailfish, and other hard-running gamefish.
Numbered 113 of only 250 ever produced, it features Ari’t Hart’s signature asymmetrical design, precision-machined from aerospace-grade anodized aluminum for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. A sealed, high-capacity drag system delivers smooth, reliable pressure under extreme stress, while the large arbor ensures quick line retrieval—critical when targeting fast, aggressive species.
Equal parts cutting-edge engineering and modern design icon, the Tarpon/Sailfish reel stands as a testament to performance, innovation, and craftsmanship. Whether on the water or in a collection, this reel is a tribute to two legends of the sport and a benchmark in big-game saltwater fly fishing gear. This reel is in excellent original condition-- it appears to be unused.
