The Alvey 55GCT reel is tailor-made for surf and estuary fishing, marrying a fiberglass spool with a robust graphite back for optimal performance.
Key Features: Turbo Cast Functionality: The Turbo Cast feature enables long, accurate casts, ideal for surf and estuary fishing, perfectly paired with the R55 2.4m rod or the more robust R62L 3.2m for intensive surf angling. Non-Reverse Action: Controlled by a switch on the reel's back, the non-reverse action in 'OFF' mode allows free spooling, while the 'ON' position ensures line release only under tension. Drag Tension Adjustment: Fine-tune drag tension via the front-mounted star nut, applying smooth tension through a multi-plate design of polished brass and PTFE-coated glass washers. Optimized Drag Performance: The reel's smooth drag operation enables fishing with lighter lines, improving casting distance and sensitivity during bait retrieval, recommended for lines between 6 to 12lb breaking strain. Fish Alert Switch: Engage the fish alert switch to be warned of fish activity when leaving the rod and reel unattended, enhancing fishing convenience and alerting you to potential catches. Weight: Approximately 620g for a balanced and manageable fishing experience. The Alvey 55GCT surf and estuary reel is purpose-built for anglers seeking reliability, optimal casting performance, and versatile functionality in surf and estuary fishing environments.
