Ted Juracsik, the creator of Tibor Reels, has one of the most
interesting and inspiring stories I know. As a young Hungarian in
Budapest, he was the smartest of his friends. At age 17, he was the
youngest Hungarian ever to be awarded Master Papers and went to
work in a bicycle factory. Not long after the Hungarian revolution
began and was in full swing against the Russians and Soviet Union,
Ted escaped to Austria. Leaving his family and his sister behind,
the big world of the unknown was before him. Eventually, he
immigrated to the the United States and started a successful tool
and dye business. One day in the World Wide Sportsman store, he met
Billy Pate who needed a better fly reel to fight the monster Tarpon
he was chasing in Homosassa. Ted told him he could design a better
reel for him and the rest is history. The Tibor Reel company became
the salt water fly reel of choice for all the world record chasers
for the next few decades. On todays podcast, we travel with Ted
through his legendary life and the hardships along the way.
