Thanks, but save your money Phone, I already have a few decent spinning reels :).

I use them for spinning/lure fishing, legering and some float fishing on still waters. For trotting I use the best reel for the job :).

Phone, I could use a fixed spool reel or a closed faced reel if I wanted to but the centrepin is far better for trotting. You need to master using one to get the real benefit out of using it but once you've acheived that your all set for some good times :).

Tigger,

 

Yeah, I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. You're one of "those guys" (Rusty, Andreoo,JV44, many others. I used to think it was fun to pull your chain from time to time. AN's changed - have to be careful lest you hurt someones feelings.

And with cnc and laser cutting how cheaply they can be made!

Yes you can get the "hand made" badge but that doesnt mean theres more quality infact less as parts may not fit as snuggly or fit at all!

I used to use an abu 507 in big rivers but its drawback was slow retieve unless you can move your hand as a blur ,but i am sure with thought a higher retieve version could be made for modern times

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

I don't know why they're so expensive, although the bespoke reels have had a lot of man hours put into making them. Chris Lythe has his drum plates and back plates cnc machine cut but makes everything else himself, all the pillars, feet and screws etc and he is maticulous about how the reels are put together. I think if you are a serious centrepin enthusiast then it is nice to have and use reels of that quality now and again.
