What have I started!?


Phil Adams

Recommended Posts

Just aquired my second centrepin.....I had a Leeds years back but sold it, now Ive just picked up an Okuma Raw (not to everyones taste but I like it).

 

Will I ever stop spinning it? Will it be the only one I'll own? Will my wife stop looking at me strangely for slowly twirling the handles?

 

 

Me'thinks its a slippery slope...

Judging by some of the other sufferers owners on here, I fear you are doomed...

I have an Okuma aventa pro.

I must of spent hours spinning it as I find it quite relaxing. A few times a year I give the bearings a drop of abu oil that came with a multiplier.

Now don't be silly Mike! Everyone knows that pins should be displayed proudly on shelves, occasionally brought down to be spun whilst the owners giggle manically :crazy:

I use a pair of Adcock Stanton's on a couple of 3 piece Harrison Power Float plus 2's and they are gorgeous to use, Float fishing with them is a privilege and playing a good tench feels great. Great ratchet on them as well for when I fall asleep.

IT ONLY WORKS PROPERLY WHEN IT IS OPEN.
