Alvey reels are mooching reel and spinning reel rolled into one.
I don't know if this picture would show up, but here it is:



Here is the link as to where I bought it:

Nuggy:

We have to cast, and bounce the jigs on the bottom while taking in line.  So we have to cast a lot.  Gets tiring so surf-casting for stripers is not a thing for me.  I switched to large mouth and catfish soon after in lakes and rivers.  But we did a few casting with bait (mud-shrimp) for stripes in the sacramento river.  That we have to use 12 oz to 1 lb of lead to sit the bait in the river for the stripers to bite.  That is similar to what bar-fishing here I suppose.

.. I personally don't think it is possible to cast a line in one action further than Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball !!!! seriously think about how far that is ... and honestly think if you could throw a line with one motion even close to that distance

tiger woods drives his golf balls in 'yards'. frenchy was talking in 'feet'.   that would be an average drive of 800-1000 ft.

back in the day, people use to bar fish with spinning reels. how come no one uses them anymore?

i was able to cast a 4-6 oz pyramid lead weight, 50-80 ft. using an 8 ft. stiff trolling rod combined with a diawa 7000d reel.

You will still see spinning reels out there but they cant stand up to the job.
Sure the odd one might but most wont.
The Penn 320 is bulletproof for this type of fishing.
Abu 7000 is nice too but not as bullet proof as the Penn and ive heard a lot of problems with the newer ones.

Hi Frenchy. Have you found a good surf fishing beach here in BC?

I've fished off Qualicum beach and Texada Is. before and caught rockcods, and greenlings.

With a 13' 5oz pyramid and using a spinner reel I can cast about 180'

It is one of the only setup I did not bring here... I have already too much to do targeting the salmonids

try surf fishing in long beach... I heard those surf perch are fun...

I noticed in Randog's picture that the CP is on a bait caster rod.  Seems weird to see the pin that high up on the cork.  Wouldn't it be better to fish it on a pin rod?  I used to bug a buddy of mine for using his CP on a baitcasting rod when we were out steelheading and to go out and buy the right rod cause it looked plain silly. Is it because you can't use them in the rod holder? Couldn't you rig up a rod holder that would hold a pin?
