Behind the fly reels from Alfa are young Finnish designers based above the Arctic Circle. And what’s the best thing to do there besides skiing, chewing reindeer jerky, and visiting the sauna? That’s right! Fishing, fishing, and more fishing. This expertise drives the young reel makers at Alfa to further develop the Alfa Arctic Series, which, thanks to its full-frame design, will also appeal to nymph anglers.
The Alfa Arctic Click C-Series Nymph & Dryfly Full Frame fly reel is a classic yet modern fly reel featuring a full-frame design and a click-and-pawl braking system. In addition to providing a sturdy construction, the closed frame ensures that thin monofilament lines, such as modern nymphing lines or running lines, do not slip out of the cage. This is a significant advantage that many nymph anglers, as well as streamer anglers who use shooting heads, truly appreciate.
The click-and-pawl braking system is entirely sufficient for smaller classes of trout fishing and produces a distinctive sound thanks to the clicker. The braking force of a click-and-pawl system is generated by a clicker (also known as a pawl) that clicks against the teeth of a gear to create resistance. This resistance slightly slows the spool, preventing the line from freely running off the reel and preventing the reel from overspinning when a fish makes a run. Additional braking force can be applied manually as needed using the palm. Another clear advantage of this system is the significant weight reduction, allowing anglers to assemble extremely lightweight setups.
The finish of the CNC-machined 6061T6 aluminum fly reel is a clean anodization, which not only enhances the reel’s appearance but also protects it from corrosion. Additionally, anodization allows for unique designs, like the Northern Lights model. The Alfa Arctic Click C-Series is a classic yet ingenious fly reel with excellent value for money and a timeless design that pairs well with many fly rods.
