Jaymanner Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi, Im doing some research on the next Alvey reel for my son turning 11 years old. He’s on a 4 inch and looking to use a 3.2m rod at the beach. Probably for flathead, bream, whiting, dart mostly unless he gets something fishy that’s bigger. What are your thoughts?

Green Hornet Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I reckon a 6 inch would be perfect. You could go either a 5 or 6, but considering he already has a 4, I'd go a 6 and enjoy the slightly quicker line retrieve. Also, as he ages and may want to try a little rock fishing, the 6 will suit that to the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymanner Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Ta. He did say the retrieve rate on the 4 inch was slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
