I use the Alvey 500C5's for Snapper, best reel in my opinion & they will last for another 97yrs.Trumpeter wrote:Fish-Hunter what model are you using on your boat rods for Snapper, 500 C5's ?
If I have to explain you wouldn't understand, Alvey are an Aussie Icon & just happen to be around since 1920.Kimtown wrote: What are these type of old school reels called? Haven't seen them in years but started posting here and everyone's using them from bait fishing in rivers, to surf fishing?
Cool, I just ordered 2, I have the perfect Aussie made Ugly Sticks to pair them up with, going retro this season. :thumbsup:Fish-Hunter wrote:I use the Alvey 500C5's for Snapper, best reel in my opinion & they will last for another 97yrs.Trumpeter wrote:Fish-Hunter what model are you using on your boat rods for Snapper, 500 C5's ?

Would the 650 c5 be a better all round reel ? you could then swap between a surf rod or boat rod ?Fish-Hunter wrote:I use the Alvey 500C5's for Snapper, best reel in my opinion & they will last for another 97yrs.Trumpeter wrote:Fish-Hunter what model are you using on your boat rods for Snapper, 500 C5's ?

The 650C5 would suit boat & surf, but better balanced on a long 12ft to 13.6ft surf rod with a low butt, then a boat rod. I use the 550C5 for my boat reel as it's more compact but heavy duty.hornet wrote:Would the 650 c5 be a better all round reel ? you could then swap between a surf rod or boat rod ?
