Alvey Fishing FAQs

How to cast an Alvey?

To cast an Alvey reel, hold the rod horizontally with your dominant hand on the handle. With the other hand, grip the line firmly between your fingers. Swing the rod back, then swiftly forward, releasing the line at the peak of the forward motion. Allow the weight or bait to carry the line out, then engage the reel to secure your cast.

How to use Alvey reels?

Using an Alvey reel is simple yet effective. After casting, engage the reel by turning the handle. To retrieve, turn the handle in the opposite direction.
