ANDREW PAUL

Thank you so much!!!! I'll keep trying then! That is good news.

Thanks chavender, I'll check that option out. Still looking for more suggestions.

Still need help locating parts! Above phone number no answer.

Yes I also heard he's not making pin's anymore, check out the phone number.

Hello all! It's been a while since I posted but I need some help. A few months back I purchased a used black Adcock Stanton with its reel seat trimmed shorter than it originally was. I would like to purchase a replacement reel seat, an original from the company if possible. Anyone know where and how I can get one???

Thanks for posting that. I went and explored the PETA web-site, it's a little to crazy for me. Most of us fisherman have tremendous respect for the fish we catch. Catch and release is on the rise, more and more people I know are crushing down the barbs on their hooks, flies, and lures. I often wondered that if salmon feel pain as mammals do, why are they swimming so slowly yet gracefully with out a care in the world while their bodies are rotting away after the spawn. They obviously don't perceive pain like we do.

Hey guys, money not an object, check out these reels from Canada. The problem with me is I'm a little tough on my equipment; I'd hate to scratch one of these. http://riverrunreel.com/

Hey guys, here are some examples of the float rods we use with centrepins here in the United States and Canada. I have included a few links for you all to check out. I use Damon rods but Sage, Loomis, and Raven are commonly used. We use these rods for ranging in length from 13 feet to 15 feet for steelhead and trout. They are generally light action rods. http://www.float-fishing-specialties.com/ http://www.fishusa.com/tackleshop/ http://www.damonrods.com/main_pages/center_pin.htm

Andy, thank you for joining in and introducing me to the bubble bobber and fly method. I shall be trying this method fishing on some nearby reservoirs this year. This may sound like a dumb question, but what type of float or bobber to you normally use? That has to be one of the most original fishing methods with flies I have ever seen in years.

Thank you for the information Randy when I get the chance I will try those lines. I will be up at the Salmon River for Presidents' Day weekend and I will ask more opinions about those and other floating lines. :cool:

Randy, I was trying to stay away from the steelhead subject in this thread, since you brought it up check out this link about using spinners under floats for steelhead. http://www.guidebc.com/articles/floatnspin.asp

Randy, I cast the variation of the Wallis cast you that’s shown in centre-pin 101 DVD, have been doing it since before that video came out, still there is a lot less twist than casting off the side, but some lines still tend to twist more than others. How do those two lines you mentioned compare with regular mono. Raven also came out with a float fishing line but I have not tried it yet.

Thanks Newt, I have tried paste before, it works but sometimes I am just too lazy! By the way what happened to your newt to picture?

Bread would probably work good, but a lot of the streams I fish, the regulations cite artificial lure only. Besides bread only attracts the ducks were I fish!

Not really Leon, I was thinking along the lines of dead drifting lures under floats, trotting them, I have had limited success with jigs, spinners, and Bunny Leach flies. NOT BREAD ! Very funny Chester.
