Welcome Tash! The team at Alvey Reels Australia are excited to officially welcome Tash Fee from Logan Queensland to the Alvey Ambassador family.

"Some of my earliest and fondest childhood memories were going fishing and camping at Moreton Island and Double Island Point with my family. We would load up the old 1942 Willys Jeep with Alvey reels, tackle boxes and bait buckets. We spent weeks on end surf fishing for tailor, snapper and whiting on many of Qld glorious beaches.

40 plus years later, I'm still fishing, camping and continue to have so many more awesome "Alvey moments" with my husband, Shane, and my kids Reilly and Kasey.

In my "She Shed", I have a dedicated wall for all my fishing and tackle gear, which includes many vintage Alvey reels, tackle boxes and various vintage Nautica as well as current Alvey products such as the new Orbiter-SR100+, Alvey Estuary Rods, Hot Pink Adventurer 55G Reel, Surf Champion 65 Combos and Glow Reels and all other glow range products. From my humble vintage Alvey cedar reels to Aero Rotor Technology, Alvey Reels is not only iconic in the Australian fishing community, it is also a "must have" in our arsenal of fishing gear. Alvey is not only a definitely a better way to fish, it's the BEST way to fish!

When I'm asked why I love fishing so much? It's simple really. - Fishing to me, is so much more than catching fish, It's about the intimate time shared with like-minded people, people you love spending time with. It doesn't matter if the rod is bent or not... it's the memories you create that matter the most.

I'm really a genuine lover of all things fishing. I even had a fish in my wedding dress!"

A recent outing with Alvey Ambassador Brett...

"We left the boat ramp around 4.45am to go chase some live bait, it didn't take us long either within 10 mins we had a heap (even gave some to a couple of blokes at the boat ramp). Arrived at our spot around 5.15am the wind was already starting pick up. We were originally going out to chase Flathead, but where we wanted to go the 20 knot winds had come in earlier then what we anticipated and made fishing hard. So, we moved to another spot where we knew the Flathead weren't but at least it was out of the wind. It was getting very close to a high tide with the sun just poking over the horizon by this time, we weren't there 10 mins and Wayne Nolan was hooked up, no bites just chomp and run. Bang 1st Snapper in the boat 63cm. From then on, the bites were very few and far between, when I say bites they would just hit it and run. We ended up with 4 snapper for the day ranging from 48cm to 68cm. It was a big surprise considering it's summer and the water temp was over 26 degrees."
