Great responses from all of you. Thanks.
Yeeha, where in Wellos are you located mate? Still haven't bought a reel so would be keen to try a few yours out! :)
snakeeyes, good cast technique overview mate, thanks :)
Thanks for the vid Mouthu, very helpful. Would appear that common consensus here would be that the alvey gives little improvement in casting so would likely only look at buying one for it's longevity .. maybe after the reel I'm currently after breaks!
For all of you that have suggested the Big baitrunner, thanks but this is out of my price-range.
I've got a Daiwa Sealine 600H and a 24kg stick for playing with kingies off the boat or rocks so am looking purely at surfcasting goodness in a reel.
kadin - I'm looking at the penn spinfisher 950 at the moment also. Been out on a few missions mate? How's it held up?
