Yes, look out for second hand examples. I've got an Arnold Kingpin ( £70 ) and an Adcock Stanton ( £50 ) from Ebay.
If you can, follow the aution right to the close - look out for ones that end during the day - sometimes you can get a real bargain ( not too many people watching at 11.00am!! etc. ) Auctions that end between 8pm and 10pm seem to attract a premium. Anything other than a centrepin is a poor second for long trotting IMO. |

My mag elite will spin for about 30 seconds with a hard flick. I've had to tune it though of course.

Mister Mathew, why, as your signature suggests, are carp anglers afraid? Just interested .

i think there will be a friction problem ,multiplyers rotate on 2 axels and maybe more friction with a level wind and freespool could involve cogs turning = even more friction ,pins rotate on 1 ,closed faces have increased friction depending on distance .

quote:theres almost none :confused: the only friction is along the spool lip ,filled with the correct line to the correct depth and its fine for long trotting. quote:a multiplyer has a spindle at each end of the spool i.e. 2 axels mr mathew your best bet is to try ,get a 2bb float and chuck it in the river and watch -------------------- |
