Back in 1974, a talented machinist with a manual lathe put together the first, simple STH fly reel, machined from solid bar stock aluminum. He had no idea at the time that what he was creating would change the world of fly fishing. This simple, elegant reel was so incredibly impressive that a bunch of businessmen – fly fishermen and their friends – decided to team up and mass manufacture the fly reels for sale to the public. After all, they didn’t want to be the only ones that could experience the joy of the STH fly reel. At first they were only marketed in Argentina, but soon they had expanded that market into 22 other countries on their way to providing the world with the perfect fly-fishing experience.

Using an ultra high quality Swiss CNC machine, STH is able to create some of the world’s finest fly-fishing reels, and it shows. STH sets trends in the way we fly fish through their experience, creativity, and innovation. Their spectacular designs, such as the POP Cassette, Turbine Drag, and Cassette Systems, include many that are patented or patent pending. Although they may no longer be made with a manual lathe, STH fly reels are elegance personified.
