[cool][#0000ff]Hey mate, those Alvey reels are fair dinkum.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Had a chance to try one on a southern California beach one time. A guy had one for surf casting and let me heave a couple of casts with it. Much smoother and easier to use than a spinning reel. At least for casting. But I prefer the high gear ratio spinning reels on the retrieve.[/#0000ff]
