BCF, but looks like they're out of stock already, try Motackle and Anglers Warehouse.

never owned one but allways like the look of them after reading this post ordered the 500c5 should get it in the next day or two

Good one Dazz, it doesn't take much to get used fishing with an Alvey reel, it actually is easy. :thumbsup:

BCF has just despatched the 2 that I ordered, now just need the rods from Motackle.

Cool :thumbsup:
In keeping with the Aussie theme, these are the rods I've paired the 500C's up with, they feel nicely balanced together.

Good rods those Ugly Sticks.

Sad to see them go. My first reel was an alvey. The fishing tackle industry has turned in to an arms race with manufacturers desperate to be first to market with the latest tech and us punters eager to swallow the marketing hype and part with our hard earned on the latest model Existella with Bluetooth fish alarms, Tueronium frames, and genetically modified drags.

Keep up or be left in the dust.

I guess in today's world, no one cares about buying a reel that will last twenty years.

Finally settled on buying 2 more 40A1S for the Yak and a 650A5 to add to the collection for the surf, direct wind stainless steel back will last for many years.
