Phil Adams 6 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 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...

RUDD 99 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 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. RUDD Different floats for different folks! Link to post Share on other sites

John S 325 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 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 John - pin owner and occasional manic giggler John SQuanti Canicula Ille In Fenestra Species caught in 2017 Common Ash, Hawthorn, Hazel, Scots Pine, White Willow.

tinca steve 10 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 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. THE MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE. IT ONLY WORKS PROPERLY WHEN IT IS OPEN. Link to post Share on other sites
