Mmmmmmm Likewise, most likely black

Looks very nice but they mustn't release them for another three months, I can't afford another just yet. Does the reference to bearings mean it's ballraced do you think?

 

Took the Fred Crouch reel out for its maiden session today and I was surprised at how versatile a true 'pin is. Only had to move the reel away from horizontal to apply as much or as little drag as needed, ballraced reels don't slow down like that. The spool wobbles more than I'd like when stationary but I guess some play is necessary.

 

Oh and braid makes every fish feel twice as large as it really is so it's staying on.

I'm affraid rusty your one of the afflicted now before you know it you'll own several pins

 

(ps you'll find you may have to modify your stike to a smoother gentler pull ,rather than a standard snatch affair ,you'll soon get used to the braid and its direct feel )

I was quite happy to let my Stanton go. I never could get on with those handles being so far in from the rim of the reel. Not for me a reel to feel precious about. Granted that these new jobs look good, but as a fishing tool I reckon Stantons are well upstaged by the A.N. Pin.
