The Alvey 625B Light Surf Beach Classic reel is designed for fisherman that like to fish the surf, with the thrill of catching large fish on a powerful 1:1 Ratio. These Light Surf reels are perfect when fishing off the rocks or the beach as they are easy to use and just as easy to clean. This Light Surf model features the strong metal side cast system mounted on an ultra strong light graphite back plate. A shallow spool gives a faster recovery rate than a normal 600 series reel and a great cast. The injection moulded spool runs on a small stainless steel bush giving it a very smooth spinning action. Direct wind action puts you in total control of the fish and the large tri-star knob allows you to lock up the spool when not fishing or using a set line with some tension.
