Alvey Reels
If you’ve spent any time fishing Aussie beaches, chances are you’ve seen an Alvey in action. Alvey is an iconic Australian brand that’s been building tough, no-nonsense reels since the 1920s, and they’re famous for doing one thing really well: sidecast reels that are as tough as nails. Designed for surf fishing, rock hopping and long days by the water, Alvey reels are built to handle the kind of fishing that would end lesser reels. At BCF, we stock a solid range of Alvey sidecast reels in different sizes and models, plus surf fishing rods and a heap of accessories. So whether you’re chasing tailor in the wash or soaking a bait for mulloway, there’s an Alvey reel that's ready to earn its keep.
Are Alvey reels made in Australia?
Yes! Alvey reels are proudly made in Australia. They’ve been manufactured in Queensland for generations, and that local know-how shows in their simple, durable design that’s perfectly suited to Aussie fishing conditions.
How do you clean an Alvey reel?
Cleaning an Alvey reel is a total breeze! The reels are so robust they can actually be dunked in the ocean for a quick rinse. After a solid fishing sesh, a light rinse to remove sand and salt, followed by a quick dry, is usually all that’s needed to keep them running smoothly. How easy is that?
How do you cast an Alvey reel?
Casting an Alvey reel is all about the sidecast action. Rotate the spool 90 degrees, hold the line with your index finger against the spool, then swing through with a sidearm or overhead cast. Once the bait’s in the water, flip the spool back into position and you’re fishing.
Check out a detailed how-to in our video guide How to cast an Alvey fishing reel.
