I just received my Alpha reels today in the new design. I'm very happy with them and the weight of the reels. They look much better in person than on a 3D print that I posted to release them. The new weights are as followed
5/6 - 4.93oz
7/8 - 5.37oz
9/10 - 6.10oz
Here are some photos that I just took. I will be getting better photos in the future.
The prices for the 5/6 and 7/8 for the forum is $60 and the 9/10 is $70.

Just asking. But is there anyplace where one can see the reels, or is this all an online thing. I never buy on line as I like to see what I'm buying as a picture really doesn't do me anygood.

A quick note: I recently bought two fly boxes from Allen Flyfishing, and I was was more than pleased with the entire transaction, from the purchase, to the speedy delivery, to the outstanding quality of the fly boxes. Huge bang for the buck. It was one of those circumstances where everything exceeded any anticipations or expectations . . .

I bought the XL 5/6 reel from Justin as did a couple friends back in the Midwest. We are all VERY happy with the reels. I am going to buy a second reel and a rod.

Hi Keith, Thanks for the feedback on the reels. Yes, switch rods are in the works. I'm shooting later this month or April to release my 2 rod series. Thanks again

I too received two XL reels from Justin yesterday and can't figure out how to change from right hand to left hand retrieve. Sent him an email last night but haven't heard back yet.
Reels look and feel good....must have good bearings!

Jc,
Sorry, I didnt see your email in my inbox. To change the reel over.
1. Unscrew the black lid on the spool that covers the roller bearing
2. Take the roller bearing out
3. Flip it around
4. Put it back in and put the lid back on.

The Anti Reverse is done. Well, the first prototype is done. I made it by hand on an old South Bend Lathe in the tool room. Next step is a 3D print and send it to a CNC machine for a machined protoype.

I switched the reels I ordered for my buddy from right to left. To get the bearing out, i just opened the reel up, then slapped the reel down on my hand a few times and the bearing fell out pretty easily.
Hi, New here but have been using Allen flyfishing product. packs, rods and reels.
