Whats the Deal With Fly Reels?

Whats the Deal With Fly Reels?
In this video I talk a little bit about the things to consider when looking at fly reels. Fly reel drag systems, fly reel construction and fly reel arbor sizes. Watch the whole video to find out how to enter to win one of my fly reels.

I catch a lot of bluegill, so having a heavy duty fully machined, disk drag system is really important.

I’ve been on a guided trip with Alvin going after reds. This dude is the real deal. I’d love to win his reel, but more importantly I’d love to fish with him again.

I used to spend a fair amount of time kayaking and traditional tackle fishing the Colorado River and got to recognize the different guides as they came up and down. My only concern was Alvin getting to my holes before me...I’m wasn’t ever worried about anyone else! Thank you for the detailed videos and the laughter sir.

“I’ve only ever seen rounds ones” 😂 I literally laughed out loud

I'm from Buffalo NY and work with people out of Austin TX, one of the guys said he used to work with you and turn me on your video's, im glad he did because i really enjoy your videos! Good Luck everyone!

Alvin, you’re a great human being. Your attitude is contagious. If we had more Alvins in this world we’d be in a better place. Thanks for the lessons and humor!

[sawyernichols]

Alvins laugh is my favorite part of his videos. Makes me smile every time

12 years ago I learned how to fly fish from your videos ! Glad to see the channel and thanks for posting

[chasehamm]

Since I found your channel it has been one of my favorite fishing channels. Period. Your attitude is so uplifting and the Dedeaux popper has been killing it. Would love to see some more of your fly tying videos.

The best reel is one that's not too nice to beat up, but nice enough that you don't wanna!
Thanks, Alvin!

Very well said Alvin!
Giving away a super 8? Wow! Incredible!

[adamcarlisle]

Thanks for the videos! Fishing content on YouTube is the only way I’m keeping sane these days

[lukemanda]

Awesome content. First time I’ve heard anyone legitimately explain why reels can be so expensive for reasons other than “they’re just nicer.”

[gregclark]

Nicely done Alvin...would love to take great care of that awesome Abel reel for you! Thanks so much for the opportunity.

30 now with my own family and back on my home waters of Minnesota where I never thought I'd return after living in Montana and fishing for the passed 8 years but now its like a whole new world being back. Nostalgic.. fly fishing with fiber glass rods as of late and a 50 year old Daiwa 232 reel that's MINT. Haha just makes you feel a bit more connected I guess? Thanks for your videos. Gives me the confidence to follow my passions! Tight lines brother

[smithhouse]

Enjoy the channel Alvin. You definitely need to let that reel out of the drawer! Someone is going to love it!

[michaeljkenney]

Love warm, genuine laugh and the straight forward Fly Fishing insights. Looking forward to more time on the water. Tight lines, M

I live 4 hrs away from the nearest bass fishing, so I live vicariously through watching your videos. Good info and entertainment 👍

[davehyer]

Thanks for the opportunity! Great video!!

[CrackedArticuno]

Watched a lot of your videos, but I’m not a huge commenter. Really appreciate your attitude and perspective on the sport. Thanks for the opportunity and all you do!
