Thanks mate, I have a reel that's well over 40 years old, this video will help a lot when I get around to putting new line on to it. Cheers

🎣 I also turn my mono line around the spool three times, then I tie my knot properly. The line will not slip on spool. I found that I have to pull the line from side to side as I tighten the knot down to the spool, as I had snap offs when I didn't. That is because the spool hub diameter is wide. I don't tie over loop dodgy unreliable knots, as I have seen, 🎣

Some great tips and new ones I never knew (importance of how the line comes off the spool). I'm getting into some drummer and snapper fishing from the rocks with Alveys this winter. Would love to see some more Alvey videos!

But when you cast it comes off the side of the reel and adds a twist each cast?

Great tips , You can also use hot water(not boiling) helps stretch the line when new. I use Platypus Platinum mono ideal line for any ALVEY reel.

Yes that’s right warm or even hot water on mono. Helps it lay more supple. I Just kept it very basic. Cheers

On the older Alvey reels, aside from going to the bait shop reel servive area and telling them "Fill'er up!", how do you determine the line capacity? For example, a Model 36 from the 1950's? Nothing on the Internet when I search.

Hi Steve Regardless of the Alvey being a shallow spool or deep spool fill up your reel to within half a cm from the edge of the spool. Take into account that you can still cast a long way with your Alvey even when half empty unlike a spinning reel.

I always forget to shove the knot back against the spool ! Any preference for mono for an Alvey for the beach and estuary- ie stiffer or more supple ? I was using berkley trilene for the beach as it had a hard coating but was still reasonably limp and the old Maxima green for the estuary , these days usually platypus lo stretch . Thanks for the video AL !

ian bertenshaw hi Ian preference for mono off the beach can be subject to opinion. I still prefer a fairly tough mono. When the kelp is around and you might be fishing close to rock at the end of a beach. Although a softer mono like platypus is good. Otherwise Tortue is suitable all round mono.

Use a good ball-bearing swivel...not a barrel swivel...to attach your rigs.
