Your 65H reel will hold approximately 650
metres of 9 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.

SURF CASTING
With the world's
best side-cast
reel – ALVEY!
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 3.3 to 4.4m 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
65H
2:1 Winding Ratio
Being a 2:1 winding ratio you will achieve nearly a
metre per turn recovery which is ideal for bait or lure
spinning for pelagic fish such as Mackerel, Tuna, etc.
As with any geared reel, when a load is applied by a
fish to the angler, the pump and wind method for
recovery of line is recommended. (Lift rod then wind
on line as you lower the rod, and then repeat. This
must be done at a rate not to create slack line.)
It should be remembered that fish do not always swim
away from you, quite often a fish will run towards you
to try and shake out the rig; with the high-speed reel
you can still have line pressure on the rig and the fish.
Maintenance
Because your high-speed reel has considerably more
working parts, than your normal Alvey side cast reel,
we do recommend a little more care is taken to keep
sand, particularly out of the reel where possible.
Refer to view 'A' If the reel keeps tightening up and won't wind freely, then the check that lock nut
SPECIAL NOTE
(Part 2) has not come loose or the distance between the lock nut and the stainless-steel gear tube & slip washer (Part
11) is too close. There must always be a small amount of clearance between (Part 11) the gear tube and the lock nut.
Make sure both lock nuts are kept tight (Loctite or super glue can be used on the threads to ensure this). The slip
washer must be free moving.
After stripping and cleaning, re-assemble as per the exploded view. Lubricate with light oil where oilcans are shown
and on any moving parts. The main shaft can also be greased or oil down front end of spindle. (Remove Part 1 & 2
to make easier) this should be done regularly.
Clutch washers are a special material, but a lubricant will improve the smoothness of the drag, and these are not affected
by water.

Light machine oil is better to lubricate the reel
rather than grease which tends to make sand
stick to everything.
Flush the reel out in salt
water when fishing to remove excess sand and
when you get home, flush well in a bucket of
water and wind reel when flushing.
To dismantle the reel, loosen the lock nut (Part
24) and slide away from the centre of the reel.
Remove spindle screw and 'D' washer (Part 1)
this will allow the spool to be removed from the
back plate.
To replace spool, slide spool back on to main
spindle and slide lock nut (Part 24) back toward
the reel centre until you feel the gears engage.
Lock lightly and try to wind the handle of the reel.
If it is too tight, loosen lock nut slightly and tap
outwards and lock again. Repeat this until the
reel runs smoothly, then lock firmly.
