CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for purchasing one of our Australian
made competition series turbo cast reels as your choice of fishing
reel. These reels are constructed from the highest quality materials
to ensure your reel will last for many years.
Plus, all these other
advantages -
Long, accurate casts:
Now, with only the minimum of
practise you will be able to
cast further and more
accurately than ever before.
Control large fish with ease:
Powerful one-to-one wind
means you only need about a
quarter of the effort required to
lift a similar weight on a
spinning reel.
You can fish harder and
longer: Simple, rugged
construction means you can
forget that fiddly maintenance,
because your Alvey reel will
resist the effects of saltwater
and sand.
More comfortable fishing:
Low winch-mount rods let you
fish with your arms in a
relaxed position.
No line twist: Use a small
free-running swivel as the last
piece in any rig and you’ll
minimise any line twist.
(See illustrations inside)
Alvey 10 Year Guarantee:
Any faulty Alvey part or reel
will be replaced at no charge
providing the manufacturer
finds the part or reel has had
normal usage and attention.

Recommended Line Size
Your 62GRT4 model reel will hold
approximately 300 metres of 5 kg line. If
fishing near rocks or other hazards use
heavier line to help avoid line breakage.
Filling the Spool with Line
Always take the line from the front of the
dispenser, never the side.
Wind firmly and evenly onto the spool,
spreading the line with your fingers to
give a smooth casting base.
Never stretch a nylon monofilament onto
a spool; when it goes back to its original
length it will exert strong enough crushing
action to damage your spool.
Never allow loose coils to develop on
your spool through careless uneven
winding.
Adopt the habit of applying light finger
tension when retrieving line and spread
evenly over its bed.
Selecting a Rod
Your rod and reel outfit should be balanced
so you can hold it comfortably over long
periods.
A matched set, which has a point of balance
where it’s held in the left hand, will give you
the most comfortable posture. The ideal rod
for this reel should be 3.2 to 3.6m in length.
The use of a short butt brings the reel into a
natural position for rewinding with your
elbows at your side and without strain.
Rigs & Swivels
When used properly a brass swivel is a
very inexpensive and efficient way to
keep a fishing line in good condition.
Curls and twists in a line can be caused
by many things, but can be kept to a
minimum by the correct use of a swivel

Rapid Retrieve Handle-plate
The outer handle provides maximum winding
power at 1:1 ratio to turn and control large
fish. The inner handle is designed to give up
to a 35% increase in your retrieve rate, for
running a lure or recovering your rig quickly if
you loose the bait.
Playing the Fish
When you are ready to set the hook lift the
rod with a smooth firm action and wind; if the
fish runs and demands line release your grip
on the handles and palm the spool by
applying a gentle pressure on the bottom line
surface of the spool.
Once the fish has been hooked always keep
a bend in the rod by holding it at an angle to
the fish. With the power of an Alvey reel you
are in control. Do not rush the fish. Allow
the fish to tire by keeping a steady pressure
on the spool. Many times the fish is lost in
the shore break. Keep a steady tension on
your line, a bend in the rod and ease the fish
ashore.
Maintenance
Use light machine oil on working spindles,
handles and index mechanism. After each
day of fishing wash off salt and sand and
lubricate as above before storage.
Direct Wind Models
The direct wind series of reels are the
ultimate in simplicity. These reels allow
the angler to fish with the minimum of
fuss and attention to their gear. The light
weight allows the serious fisherman to
fish extensive hours without tiring. The
thrill of controlling a fish without the
interference of a non reverse drag action
puts the sport back in sports fishing. The
direct wind reel allows the spool to be
completely free running, allowing even
the most timid biting fish to take line
without interference.
Fish Alert
When leaving the rod and reel
unattended, activate the fish alert on the
back of the reel by pushing the button in
and up. If a fish takes line a warning
noise will be heard. Turn off the alert by
pushing in and down on the button.
