Which Center PIN ?

[philocalist]

Managed to make a bit of time this afternoon to tidy up the lever a bit. A bit of an improvement but would be much better if it was in the right place.

Looking good - any prospect of you making a few more of these if asked nicely? Pleeeeese???

I have taken the handles of mine one of the first things I did even before I fitted a line lol

 

I'd hate to try to play a double figure carp on a reel with no handles!!!!

Mat,

 

Well fortunately you are in the UK and don't have much to worry about.

I don't mind it for a double figure barbel or two, but for a poxy carp it would do my head in as well.

Although it was a fairly simple thing to make, it took an excessive amount of time and a lot of fiddling to do it with the equipment I have so unfortunately I will not be making any more. It just goes to show the difference between generating a shape manually with the aid of machine tools and c.n.c. machining which of course is why the likes of a Chris Lythe reel is more than 5 times expensive than a Okuma. Would be far better if Okuma incorprated a better placed check system.

I'm surprised no-one's suggested the AN pin. Are these still being made? I haven't heard from Andy in ages. If they are, I personally wouldn't look any further. I have a Sheffield and an AN pin, and the Sheffield has been relegated to the back on the cupboard since getting the AN pin. Lighter, lower start-up inertia, longer spinning time, not expensive, and customisable.

Have you got a pic of one?

I was lucky enough to get one of the first ones, as Andy lent it to me for feedback on a fish-in at the Itchen a few years ago. I liked it so much I bought it off him!

Cheers. I'm not sure about the graphics - a bit over-done, maybe - but apart from that it's a good-looking reel.
