ALVEY Question

[moman]

I have just purchased an Alvey 650B sidecast reel and have come to the
realisation that I will now have to purchase a new beach rod to get the
best from the new Alvey. I want to use 30 pound line and the rod must
not be shorter than 12ft. Does anyone have any recomendations?

Rod length and power rating depend on what you are fishing for. I use a
Snyderglas 14'6" rod. Excellent quality rods.

For best casting, Alvey reels require special spacing on the guides, and
reel mount.

Buy rods direct from the best Alvey site on the web, and read more about
rigging Alvey.

And the first guide should be extra large.
