i am an avid surf fisherman, fishing the pacific coast of mainland mexico
and southern california. i bought an alvey 625 and had a 12' rod made to
alvey specs. it casts 1-3 oz. lead spoons beautifully, but i could not stop
the line twist. i tried 3 brands of line in 3 different tests (20-25-30),
but to no avail. i tried up to 3 ball bearing swivel, and still could only
make 5-10 casts until i had to cut 20 or 30 yards of line off. very
frustrating, especially when the bite is on. any suggestions from down under
on how to solve this problem.
