CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for purchasing one of our Australian made
graphite backed easy cast reels as your choice of
fishing reel. These reels are constructed from the highest quality materials
and the most powerful photoluminescence glow products.
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 40-X reel will hold approximately 500
metres of 4 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 1.5 to 2.0m 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.
Four easy steps to casting like a champion
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

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.
Fish Alert
When leaving the rod and reel
unattended, activate the fish alert and
drag on the back of the reel. If a fish
takes line a warning noise will be heard.
Maintenance
After each day of fishing wash off the salt
and sand. Use a light machine oil on
handles and index mechanism, lubricate
before storage.
Glo-X Spool Features
The Glo-X spool is made from glass filled
polypropylene. When charged via direct
sunlight for 2hrs during the day it will glow
for 6 hours at night.
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.
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.
Swivel must be above sinker
