I predict Alvey's in mint condition will go for a bomb in the future, collectors will be hunting them down as this news spreads !Fish-Hunter wrote:haha I don't take the forum too seriously 'all good' :thumbsup:hornet wrote:Fish-Hunter sorry your thread got off topic ...

Yes, considering you're the one who threw it off topic you probably should be sorry.hornet wrote:Fish-Hunter sorry your thread got off topic ...
I was just asking a few simple newbie questions. Quite sad that a few in the community don't have the time to answer them, but have more than enough time to make snide remarks instead.

Re: Alvey Reels Australia Closing Down
So you get your answer, the technical name is a sidecast reel. You spin the reel 90 degrees the same as you do a handline to cast

They do seem very popular within this community but I hardly see anyone using them around wpb or the 90 mile.
