Crazyblue Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Hi All, Went down to my local store looking for a new Beach fishing rig! After scouring the forums I was originally thinking of getting a Alvey 650B or 6500bcvrr with matched rod but the guy ended up selling me the below combo.... Ended up coming home with an Alvey 6000BCVRR reel and a Wilson MT6144 12ft rod. What do you guys think? I am a first time Beach Fisher and am looking at a decent versatile combo That will catch the smaller fish but will also handle the bigger fish if I am lucky enough to hook some! I also got some Platinum Platypus 12lb line for the reel! Have I got the right setup?? I also have a spare Shimano BTR 4500B that I was thinking of putting 20lb? line on (Braid or Mono???)and was thinking of buying a rod to match... SO I could have a Spin combo aswell. DO you think I am on the right track??? Would appreciate any/all advice! Edited January 7, 2011 by slinkymalinky
spizza Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) You have a nice set up there for anything from whiting, dart to bream, Tailor and Salmon ...you'll have fun with that outfit vs. a fat winter Salmon ....With Alvey's, Playtpus is great, and I prefer the Lo-stretch series, which is better off in the surf conditions where you want to minimise any stretch in the line. Cheers, Spizza Edited January 7, 2011 by slinkymalinky
