Have my eye on a vintage Luderick reel, might start adding to what started out as dad's collection 😁 Tell us more!!! I'd love to see the reel you're talking about and possibly a story behind it.

Berleyguts Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I don’t have many Alveys but value the ones I do! I think my models are a 650C5, a 500A5(?), and a Blackfish reel. I also have what looks like an old Alvey copy. It’s embossed with “Queensland Fishing Tackle, Brisbane, Australia”. I must check my Mum’s garage for any of my grandfather’s gear, although it was probably thrown out years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I have one of these 650 C3's in mint condition. They're a lovely reel. Recently saw a 650 E series with a rosewood spool for sale, hesitated and missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill373737 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Finally got round to taking a photos of my Alvey's. First up, a couple of new reels - they'd be around 20 years old, a 650BC and a 600BC Next, a 650 C5 and 651 C5 - great reels but but very heavy after a long session on the beach Next, 2 timber reels that belonged to my dad, a 650 A3 and 600 C3 My favourite, a rosewood stain 650 A3 which nowadays I use the most out of the reels, perfect for the beach and nice balance mounted on a MT5144 rod with 10lb line 5" Club Trophy Special - this one is definitely in the retired category, I've got great memories using it as a kid on Fraser Island circa 1970 on a cane rod with the reel held on by hose clamps. cheers steve 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquidMarks Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 finally got around to taking a photo of all my reels (in 3 different locations). 2 x 6500bcvrr (one for jew, one for tailor and salmon) 1 x 700c5 kingfisher (silent anti reverse) - second jew rod 1 x 50 a5e (blackfish/bream and whiting). 1 x 700c5 surf champion (noisy anti reverse) was given to me, not in use 1 x 650a5 rock fishing 1 x 650grbc - spooled for tailor 1 x 500b - just sitting there, waiting for my son to be old enough to start using alvey reels 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquidMarks Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 600a - bream and whiting 650c5 - drone fishing (spooled with 300m of 20lb line) Also included the powerrod as its on of the few rods that i didnt build myself for my alveys but still gets used regularly (i cant kill this thing, i think if the guides eventually end up going i will give it a full resto). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I thought I'd post a couple of recent additions to the collection. The 6 inch reel needs the spool refinished, but the metal is like new and got a bargain on the tackle box that I couldn't refuse. Also have something pretty special on the way that I'll post later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 The tool kit is cool. The reel looks recently lacquered & a bit heavy as well. Could be the angle of the pic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
