The Pygmy 5" Captain Series Reel

CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED NYLON SPOOL

Developed with an Australian polymer manufacturer, the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Nylon spool brings serious durability and strength to a compact reel. Lighter than traditional materials without sacrificing the toughness Alvey is known for.

STAINLESS STEEL STAR DRAG

The stainless steel star drag complements the smooth multi-plate clutch design, running polished brass plates paired with PTFE coated woven glass washers built to handle high temperatures. Precise, consistent, and easy to adjust mid-session.

ANTI-REVERSE DRAG LEVER

A drag lever on the rear of the reel lets you disengage the anti-reverse mechanism when the situation calls for it. Simple to operate and right where you need it when a fish makes a move you weren't expecting.

STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE AND KNOBS

The stainless steel handle comes fitted with Alvey's latest upgraded handle knobs, keeping you in touch with your catch through the whole fight. Comfortable enough for long sessions, tough enough for salt and sand.

EASY CAST SYSTEM

Alvey's Easy Cast System lets you switch the reel between right and left-handed operation quickly and without tools. A practical feature for anglers who fish a variety of situations across the Pygmy's broad target species range.

STAINLESS STEEL NAME BADGES

Finished with decorative stainless steel name badges and available in three colours, the Pygmy Captain brings premium Captain Series finish to a reel sized for estuary, freshwater, and light surf work.
