I like the old Tibor look, and that style of fly reel in general. Round ports and a simple design. I just bought a new reel myself, my first large arbor actually, and although looks don't catch fish, I find my eyes drawn to reels that aren't too modern or decked out. I guess companies feel the need to remain relevant in terms of features, but also what's popularly viewed as "cool". It doesn't look like Tibor is even offering the old designs on their site.
