The reel has a sensitive but powerful multi-plate clutch, tension on the drag washers is adjusted with a disc style drag wheel with an easy to operate lever on the back plate to disengage drag when stripping the fly line.
The glass filled nylon spool has been pinned to handle the high temperatures created when long powerful runs are made by the targeted species. Spool will hold 500 metres of braid backing as well as fly line.
Vented graphite back plate relieves weight and heat, the fish alert offers some back pressure when stripping line with the drag disengaged.
All running gear is stainless steel or nickel-plated brass giving you the Alvey confidence in a reliable long-lasting reel.
Reel weighs in at 355 grammes and matches with a 10-weight fly rod.
