Vintage Charles Alvey & Son side cast fishing reel, an Australian-made product known for its durability and unique design
Key features and information about Alvey reels include:
-
Design:Alvey reels are designed so the line runs directly over the index finger, allowing anglers to feel even the slightest tug.
-
Durability:These reels are known for their robust construction and can be dunked in the ocean for a quick rinse if exposed to sand.
-
Manufacturing:Originally made in a small shed by Charles Alvey, who produced about 20 reels per week, they were so well-made anglers called them “the reel you cannot wear out”.
-
Materials:Early models were available in polished metal or nickel-plated finish, with some rare models crafted in polished brass.
-
Acquisition:In 2022, Alvey Reels was acquired by Gowings, ensuring the brand remained Australian-owned.
-
How to Cast:To cast, hold the line with an index finger, hold the rod, and bring the hand up.
-
Vented Back Plate:Some models feature a vented back plate, strong metal foot, and a ratchet to control line stripping.
