Greetings from California! This was a really fun video for me. Nice to see some new content on Alvey. Although I don't fish them exclusively I DO fish them ardently. For some applications nothing touches them. This is particularly true if you need retrieval AND power. If you think your gold anodized game reel has power then tie it to a 650 or 700 size Alvey and watch the Alvey strip the teeth of the gears off the game reel. No joke, the one to one ratio is literally incomparable. They are also indestructible. I started with a bakelight spooled 45c in 1982. Still good as new in spite of being used hard for 38 years now. Cheers!
Really always was. They have not had great distribution since Guilardi imported them in the 70's through the early 90's though. I am waiting to see if the new guys get some dealer support on the west coast. Where did you find them?
Just bought my 1st Alvey rod (2nd hand custom built off a Snyder glas magraphite blank) now just gotta find a vintage 650c5
a true Alvey master
Beautiful, thanks mate .. 👍
can you just use straight mono without swivel and leaderline thanks
Hi Steve, to reduce line twist we recommend using the dual swivel rig.
Can you set up an Alvey reel for left hand reeling?
Hi Rick, yes you can purchase left hand wind models.
@@glennalvey6971 Hi
Really great video and editing! I can’t wait to get my Alvey combo
Great video mate the rod you're using looks very interesting any info much appreciated.
this reel using mono line or PE line?
This would have been mono line as we have sandy beaches with out a lot of snags.
I wish he would talk about the reel. Specs and that sort of thing
