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?

What reel are you using there mate?

This would have been mono line as we have sandy beaches with out a lot of snags.
