Alvey Surf Champion 65GT

This is the biggest diameter surf casting reel with a stainless steel back plate, metal side cast and a strong compression molded spool. A good recovery rate combined with a smooth strong multi-plate clutch makes an good surf reel for the longer rods chasing big fish in the surf.

The large diameter spool makes this reel ideal for bait spinning and can be used for deep sea fishing on a short boat rod again because of the good recovery rate. The smooth clutch is a multi-plate design with polished brass plates combined with fiber friction washers which can also withstand very high temperatures. For a smooth clutch action use Alvey Reel Oil in the clutch washers.

A fish alert switch on the back side of the reel can be engaged when leaving the rod and reel unattended to warn you of a fish taking line.

This is a direct drive reel.
