The Alvey 45KGCZ Kayak Reel includes a line guide to hold your line in place, making it perfect for windy kayak fishing. The line slips in through a small gap, and stays in the guide. To release it for casting, just slip the line back out through the gap. Its made from strong, lightweight graphite, with the Easy Cast system for less fuss. Its tough and durable like all Alvey reels, and great for handling larger fish when youre kayak fishing.
