A bit before my time.
In 1969 the old many gave me a 4" Alvey,8ft Jarvis Walker rod,and the rest is history.I still have both.
My go to Surf/Estuary reel these days is his 6"wooden Alvey.

He's hard to locate, apparently.

I have to use the 'Manage attachments' system, using a convoluted method i.e. Add text, go to 'Manage', change from 'Thumb' to ' Detail', hit 'Go', change back to 'Thumb', select file and 'Upload', hit 'Go' again and sometimes the pic will appear, but mostly not.
The little, square 'Insert Image' box, next to the 'URL' icon, does naught![bigsad]
