Bush 'n Beach Fishing Magazine Location reports & tips for fishing, boating, camping, kayaking, 4WDing in Queensland and Northern NSW
NOT often does a new style of fishing come along, but Jase Teelow of Cairns developed this one. The all-new Alvey Gunnell Rod makes deep-sea fishing easy.
Charter and game boat operators and all deep-sea anglers will be keen to have one of these setups on their boat. Perfect for clients who cannot handle heavy combos, the Gunnell Rod is a lesson in simplicity and efficiency of design.
This outfit allows the angler to steady themselves with the fixed handle and wind the reel with the other hand while the whole setup remains firmly mounted in a rod holder on the boat. It also swivels to allow the line to follow the fish.
Any medium to large overhead or electric reel can be used with the Gunnell Rod and it can also be used on game boats to provide a neat and quick way to recover teasers when required. The Gunnell Rod is made by Alvey in Brisbane from electro-polished stainless steel and a quality heavy-duty aluminium reel mount.
