23.01.2022 To say were excited about this is an understatement.... Its not easy engineering a baitcaster to Alvey standards but after months of design changes and put...ting the new reels through our unmatched testing regiment, the brand new Orbiter Baitcaster has exceeded all our expectations. To find out why were so excited about this incredibly smooth and impossibly tough Baitcaster head to alvey.com.au or drop in to your local Alvey retailer (see website for list of retailers). https://alvey.com.au/shop/orbiter-baitcaster #100yearswithalvey #abetterwaytofish

19.01.2022 Hi there fellow anglers ! Below is a sneak peek of the documentary about 100 years of Alvey. If you, your Dad, or your Grandad fished, or Uncles, Aunts or other relatives fished, then this cant be missed. Our fishing heritage would be very limited if it wasnt for Alvey Reels.... 7mate, Fathers Day 12 Noon. #100yearswithalvey #abetterwaytofish #alveyreelsaustralia #itsthealveyreelthatfillsthecreel https://drive.google.com//1TFyAFcWQHgVAWuj5muEkCRfFH/view

18.01.2022 Theres no better bonding session than fishing with the kids and watching the joy on their faces when they land one, no matter the size...... Psstt....Fathe...rs Day is only 3 days away! If youre looking for gift ideas, head to alvey.com.au. Weve got something Dad will love @cox.edward85 See more

18.01.2022 Fathers Day means something to every family, but its especially meaningful to us here at Alvey. Charles Alvey started passing on life lessons to his boy Ken o...ver 100 years ago. Ken passed these lessons to his son Jack. Jack passed them to his sons Bruce and Glenn. Bruce and Glenn Alvey have been continuing what their great grandfather started, sharing his hard-earned lessons with the younger generations and the wider Australian fishing community for half a century now. Standing on the shoulders of great Fathers who came before us and building on their legacy is why we are still here. This is what Fathers Day means to us. Its the day to look at the old man, if youre lucky enough to have him around, and say "Thanks for shaping me into the person I am today. Thanks for being you, mate". This is the greatest gift you can give a Father. To tell him that despite being human and all the flaws that come along with it, the good he has put out into the world is not only recognised, but also deeply appreciated by those closest to him who will continue to pass on the lessons he taught, long after he is gone. We know there is nothing you can buy that communicates even 1% of this. We can only hope that our Fathers Day packs bring a small amount of joy to other great fathers out there, and the appreciation he feels inspires him to continue passing on the lessons that have served him well throughout his life so far. ...just like Charles did with Ken more than a century ago, and his great grandsons continue to this day. https://alvey.com.au/category/fathers-day/

18.01.2022 We're thrilled to team up with the world’s toughest wet weather brand, Musto, to bring you TWO limited edition Alvey 100 Year Musto Jackets.

And until December 25th, as part of our centenary specials, we're giving a free Alvey 100 Year Henri Lloyd polo (valued at $89) with every Alvey Musto jacket. Head to alvey.com.au for more information. #100yearswithalvey #alveymusto

17.01.2022 The Beast of the Beach. Fully kitted out for a beach session. Including the seats!!!

17.01.2022 Is there any greater feeling than passing on that fishing knowledge to the next generation? Looks like a great day guys! @saltygearfishingapparel ... #alveyreeelsaustralia #abetterwaytofish

17.01.2022 Have you seen a purple 65GVCRT on the beach yet? You can't help but notice it! Which colour would you like to see us do next? 65 = 6.5 Inch diameter ... G = Graphite V = Vented C = Non Reversing Drag With Handle Plate R = Rapid Retrieve T = Turbo #100yearswithalvey #alveysidecasts

17.01.2022 If not for fishing, how would someone be sure of their own existence? #100yearswithalvey #alveyreelsaustralia

16.01.2022 To all our Alvey loyalists who have expressed concern about the country of origin of the new Alvey Baitcaster, we sincerely thank you for your passion and conce...rn. Alvey Reels will continue to manufacture the Alvey sidecasts, and as many other products and parts as we can in our factory at Carole Park, as long as its commercially viable to do so. We designed and engineered the Baitcaster in Australia, and manufactured and sourced as many components as we possibly could locally, but there are components that simply cannot be manufactured in Australia. To give some perspective, the equipment required just to machine the one-piece alloy alone costs over $4.5m, and the best one is made in China, which defeats the purpose. Manufacturing the components required here in Australia would have meant the reel would have to sell for close to $1000, which would not be able to compete with other commercially available brands, even with the support of the incredible Alvey Community. We will always produce reels that meet the incredibly high Alvey standard to ensure that whenever you see Alvey, you already know its the highest possible quality. This was our promise in 1920. Its still our promise in 2020. It will be our promise in 2120. (hopefully the robots dont take all the good fishing spots). On behalf of Bruce, Glenn, Con and the entire Alvey Team, we would like to thank every member of the Alvey Community for their ongoing support and helping keep the Alvey dream powering on for another Century. You are all incredible human beings and your passion for family and fishing gives us all the motivation we need to continue to produce the best and most reliable reels in the world.
