Side Cast Reels
 General
Purpose Reels
Since 1920 Alvey Side Cast Reels have offered the angler
the efficiency and long distance casting of an open faced
spool with the simplicity and durability of a centerpin revolving
spool reel. Just turn the reel to face forward for casting
and back again for the retrieve. The large diameter spools
allow more line to fly off with each coil with the minimum
of friction. The revolving spool retrieve provides the control
and power to subdue even the largest fish. Combine that with
one of the smoothest large diameter multi-disc drag systems
available on the market, or try it the more sporting way without
a drag system. We offer the reels both ways.
