New toy
Hey all,
Got a new bait cast rod and reel recently, the Alvey bc80.
7 foot rod 5 - 10 kilo rating, the reel has 8 kilos of drag. I spooled it with 40 pound braid, the reel comes with 2 spools so you can swap different kilo lines out quickly.
I’m having trouble uploading the picture on my phone, what is a good site to get the bb code?

I use Lit Photo app on my phone to reduce the file size to 700kb and upload photos without issues.

If you’re using your phone, use an app called resize it.fisho999 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 2:12 pmHey all,

Re: New toy

Re: New toy
I found a problem though, the lines is so strong it just turns the reel even on max drag

Re: New toy
Yes, haven’t caught any thing though. I’m meeting up with one of my friends this weekend for a fishing/ camping trip so hopefully I get a nice cod or yella
