Hi Hamish, 

Nice reel although I don’t think that particular model has any drag. Which is fine as long as you know how to ‘feather’ the reel with your hands when you have a decent fish on.

cheers

Greg

Hi Greg

Thanks Greg. I hope to learn how to do this over time.

@AUS-BNE-FISHO, that is a 6” reel, and as @GregOug said, it is a direct wind reel which is fine for most of the species that you would be chasing. Takes a bit of experience to use your hand as the drag, but also very rewarding.  This is the info on the Alvey site https://alvey.com.au/shop/surf-60g/.

Cheers Steve. I hope it will be fun.

Hi @Newbie to Brisbane

Thank you so much for your generosity! I will talk to Dad tonight about this.
