A new reel, based on Hanak's favourite Suberb model. The Alpen has a unique closed cage design which prevents long nymphing leaders and nymphing lines from being pulled between the cage and the spool. Sensitive and reliable drag with a large comfortable adjustment knob.
Ultra-lightweight reel, machine-cut from one piece of top-quality 6061-grade aluminum.
Two ball-bearings combined with a one-way super-roller bearing.
The Alpen is a great fit for higher-weight nymphing rods: 3wt, 4 wt, 5 wt.
It also accommodates very nicely classic floating lines and is a great fit for 4 and 5 wt dry fly rods.
