The Alpen Nymph H 35 features the enclosed design of Hanak’s H-series reels. The cage holds long nymph leaders and prevents them from passing between the spool and the frame. Two ball bearings are combined with a unidirectional roller bearing. The drag is adjustable for the fine tips used in nymph fishing. The size 35 model accommodates a WF5F line and 50 m of backing; it pairs well with long nymph rods, provided the setup is well-balanced once assembled.
