Steve Neville Alarm Users?

[The Reel Deal]

I have a set of them and really liked them at first but am driven to the edge with them now. The problem is that I`ve been using braid mainline since I got them and any sort of wind will have them incessantly bleeping, driving me and fellow anglers batty! Batteries can run down in a session and I`m out with my screwdriver farting around, replacing batteries. Not what you want.

I`m going to sell the little swines! Have any of you users have changed from braid to mono and noticed a BIG difference?

I know I probably should change to mono but I love the braid as most of my angling is carried out at distances of, usually 80 yards or thereabouts. Will a change to mono rekindle my troubled love affair with "The Neville".

Tell me before I give him the shove.

A friend of mine had the same problem(converting to braid)i think ,and he took one of the magnets out of the wheel.i presume you have the four magnet ones

[The Reel Deal]

Yes. I have the four magnet jobs. So, he whipped out a magnet, did he change to mono, end of problem?

[pokey joe]

Still happy with the braid as far as i know,i will see him this weekend so i will ask him for all the details and post on Sunday night for you.

Sorry for the delay Reel Deal, ihave spoken to him and he is the process of selling the Stevies,but not for the reason i mentioned and he took 2 of the magnets out of the Stevies and never had no trouble from then on.

[The Reel Deal]

That`s ok Pokey, just offloaded them recently. thanks for your reply.

Up The Boro!
