Njardar Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I'm still patiently waiting on my 5/6 Alpha and hook offer, but the drag cap was not up to Justin's exacting standards which explains the delay. Patience may be a virtue, but not when waiting for a fly reel. - Charlie Received my 5/6 Alpha today... very, very nice. Well worth the wait. I'm even going to spring for an extra spool. Still waiting on the hooks though. - Charlie

Members Feltracer Posted January 17, 2011 Members Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Everyone, I am releasing my new Trout Series this week. Thanks again Justin "Allen" Hey Allen, Just Saw your boat and your reply to the fly line. I am looking for a great 4 or 5 wt and WFF line with it. What type of deal do you have for me and what is the warranty on the reels. Thanks Scott
Members Bob Gallagher Posted January 19, 2011 Members Posted January 19, 2011 Hi all, Got a new Alpha 7/8 in the mail today. Everyone is right. These reels are a nice piece of work. I can't wait to try it on some stripers this spring. Thanks again, Justin Bob
Gallagher Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Finally had a chance to review the Alpha 5/6wt reel I ordered from Justin. This is one nice looking reel & the quality seems to be top notch, the drag seems so smooth with no apparent "breakover" release when the drag kicks in, just nice smooth & steady! I'll be breaking this in on some trout after my Nano TI rod shows. Nice work Justin! Thanks again, Gallagher Carry out what you carry in...
Gallagher Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Well I just received one of "Allen's" new Nano TI 5wt 9' 4pc rods, it nearly looks identical to an Orvis Helios rod & I'll have to tell you this is one nice looking rod. Everything arrived as promised & in good order, the workmanship on this seems very high quality & I can't believe just how lightweight this thing actually is @ 2.6 oz. Can't wait to try it out soon! Nice work Justin!!! Carry out what you carry in...
Cocry Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Just got my reel and hooks. Quick turnaround and the reel looks great. Can't wait to use it. Thanks Justin!
Gallagher Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 FINALLY had a chance to give the new Nano TI 5Wt rod & Alpha series 5/6 Wt reel a try and I'm real pleased at the weight, action & feel of this setup casting for the most part is a "breeze", and the action is great, as it stands right now (given my current inventory) this will be my go to rod for Taney. When I purchased this I received the promo cost on the reel, the promo cost on the new Nano TI rod & a discount for purchasing both! He later offer a couple of fly boxes for free as a try em' & see if you like em' deal. Very nice products and Justin does what he can to ensure he has repeat customers. He's currently offering this reel/net special. http://www.allenflyfishing.com/products/alpha-reel Carry out what you carry in...
Gallagher Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 After receiving the 5/6 Alpha series awhile back & being satisfied with it AND the Nano TI rod, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase one of their reel/net specials, I thought I'd try their 3/4 Trout series for my 4WT. I placed the order last Sat, they only ship on weekdays,today it shows up at my house well packaged. Another great looking product from Allen FF, the net is rubberized & made of real nice inlaid burl looking wood, again well constructed, I just hope it lands plenty of fish & the fish appreciate their temporary fishnet slicker. Carry out what you carry in...
Brian K. Shaffer Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Boy, I sure would like to try anything this outfit has to offer. The rods seem pretty well received, but the reels.. I sure would like one of those. Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
