Awesome. What size is that tackle box? The junior?

Im looking at putting the platypus pulse on my Alvey 65GVCRT would you recommend this line or something else

I pulled in a big Mulloway with the direct wind last weekend and got a bit of a knuckle dust up moving my hand to palm drag 🤣🤣

Do you know who makes a 15" rod for Alvey nowadays? I cant find any make over 13"

🎣 Hi Brett, - Greetings from South Africa, Thank You Very much indeed for your Alvey related videos. I have also been using Alvey reels over the years. I always trim the tail fin off any whole pilchard or off a tail bait fillet. This reduces bait spin during the cast too and in the water. I like the third method you show with a swivel attached to the top hook, for the hook trace line, 🎣

Nice. I recently bought and Alvey 65 Stealth. I fish the North Carolina Outer Banks and the rods that Alvey make won't work throwing 6-8 oz sinkers so I had a rod builder modify one of my 12' rods by lowering the seat. I should have it back next week and will spool it up according to your instructions.

i know this isn't really the place to have a whinge about it but i find it confusing that alvey USA has certain models such as the 55gd,50c and 65c which aren't/are no longer available in australia. they also have access to wider range of rockhopper style reels and a wider range of colours for reels. you would be forgiven for thinking this could be because the reels are outsourced, but no! those models are still made in australia

🎣 I would love to visit the Australian Fishing Museum of Warwick Doncaster; must be Awesome to see ,! 🎣

🎣 amazing! 🎣

🎣 nice flathead 🎣

Where do you get those black line keeper straps? Thanks.

Cheers for that Brett and much appreciated. An Alvey was my very first reel I got when I was 8 now I’m 48. It’s still working 10:45 est. Looking forward for more from this channel 👍👍

Good description Brett!

Thanks 🙂

I cut the elasticised cuff off an old sock and use that as a line retainer. Fits a 6" Alvey fine and will go on a 6.5" Alvey, it needs a bit of work the first few times until it stretches and becomes an easy fit.

your rig bag is great.... tying rigs can be such a pain

Just one question. Why so much line for Alvey reels?

Those spool thing-a-ma-bobs look the ducks guts, might invest in one of those. 20 bucks well spent. I’m not your grandfather, but I’ll give you a tip that will save you a heap of cash: Don’t spool your Alveys up with 500, 600, 700 or 800 metres of top quality fishing line (Schneider or Tortue is the best for Alveys). Put 3 or 400 metres (whatever) of el’cheapo line, like Jarvis Walker ($6 from Woolies) on the reel first, then about 2-300 metres (max) of the top quality stuff, that’s all ya need

Should put the line retainer idea to Alvey, you can use an Alvey rod wrap to do the same but a dedicated product would be nice !

Thanks mate

Cheers mate
