RECOMMENDED LINE SIZEFor fish up to 1kg use 3 to 4kg line,gamefish 1 1/2 to 2 1/2kg use 5 or 6kg line,for larger fish use 7.5 to 10kg line. If fishingnear rocks or other hazards use heavier line tohelp avoid line breakage.FILLING THE SPOOL WITH LINEAlways take the line from the front of thedispenser, never the side.Wind on firmly and evenly onto thespool, spreading the line to give a smoothcasting base.Never stretch a nylon monofilament onto aspool, when it goes back to its original lengthit will exert strong enough crushing action todamage your spool. Never allow loose coilsto develop on your spool through carelessuneven winding. Adopt the habit of applyinglight finger tension while the line is spreadevenly over its bed.The simplemethod forLONG DISTANCESURF CASTINGwith the world’sbest side-castreel - ALVEY!-1.To begin, place fingers of lefthand on spool lipand thumbon release lever.Press lever...turn spool2.

Casting position: Armshigh rod heldover shoulders,reel above rod.RIGS & SWIVELSWhen used properly a brass swivel is a veryinexpensive and efficient way to keep afishing line in good condition.Curls and twists in a line can be caused bymany things, but can be kept to a minimum bya correct use of a swivel.5. Casting action: Punch hardwith righthand, pulldownward withleft hand.SELECTING A RODYour rod and reel outfit should be designed soyou can hold it comfortably over long periods.A matched set, which has a point of balancewhere its held in the left hand, will give you themost comfortable posture.The use of a short butt brings the reel into anatural position for rewinding with your elbowsat your side and without strain.LIGHT CASTINGFor most river, lake and estuary fishing thesingle handed cast method shown below in fig. 1.is all that is required. Just turn the reel to 90º tothe casting position, holding the line on the lip ofthe reel with your L.H. index finger.Now with a smooth evencasting action cast your rod andrelease line.

As the fish makesits run, even-line tension is maintained by theangler taking his or her fingers from the windinghandle and putting them under the reel againstthe line still left in the spool well.ALVEY ‘C’ SERIESNON-REVERSING DRAG MODELS - C1 & C5Incorporating a multi-plate friction clutch onlarger models these reels give a wide range oftension settings which don’t vary once set whilebattling with the fish, but the drag control star nutis positioned in such a way that adjustments canbe made while the fish is played. With the pawlknob engaged, the handle locks in a stationaryposition while the spool continues to give line tothe running fish.SETTING THE DRAGThe drag system allows line to be pulled fromthe reel under tension without breaking when afish strikes, or makes a quick run when hooked.Set the drag by turning the anti-reverse ‘on’ thenpull the line against a small handscale. AdjustSWIVEL SIZESSize No. 12 Lines 3 to 5kg breaking strain.Size No.10 Lines 6 to 7kg breaking strainSize No.8 Lines 10 to 12kg breaking strain.Size No.6 Lines 12 to 17kg breaking strain.BREAMWHITINGTAILORTAILORthe drag tension from one third to no more thanhalf the line’s ideal strength. It’s better to startfishing with the drag set too loose than too tight,and tightening it when the fish is on. If tootight,the line may break. Always loosen the dragcompletely after fishing.ALVEY ‘E’ SERIESPOSITIVE WIND STAR DRAG - MODEL E5These reels combine the protectionof the Alvey‘C’ series with positive action of the‘A’type, andare available in Models 650, 651 and 700.PLAYING THE FISHOnce the fish has been hooked always keep abend in the rod by holding it at an angle to thefish. With the power of an Alvey reel, you onlyneed to hold the rod up and wind in. If the fishis too strong, let go some line until it tires thenrewind. With large fish, pumping with the rodwill help in landing it.MAINTENANCEUse Alvey reel Lube for working spindles etc.Then light machine oil on handles and indexmechanism. After each day’s fishing wash offsalt and sand and lubricate as above beforestorage. Unless major overhaul is required,there’s no need to strip the reel complete
