Hello all,
I was lucky enough to pick up one of the last carbon fibre Alveys but it has a very wide spool. Line capacity stated is something ridiculous like nearly 1 km 10kg line. I like to keep the line level high to maximise casting distance so I want to fill most of the spool with backing. Obviously it can’t rot and want to keep the weight of the backing the minimum because the reason I purchased the reel is because it’s so light. The two options I was thinking of was 24 kg mono or maybe white poly sash cord to build up the spool a bit. Plan to use Super 100/ Lowstretch 8kg. Thanks, Mike.
