Centrepins

[The Sweetcorn Kid]

Thanks Davyr.

I'm well pleased with it, although I didn't get to fish with it yesterday. The reel seat is quite a bit bigger than the seat on the rod. I'll just have to get another rod that does fit!!! :thumb:

The reels by Dragon Carp are ok for legering and the carp, I stuffed the spindle with grease to slow it down. I don't have a problem Wallis casting. Though I have given one away to a guy that wanted a centre pin and was going though a tough time. I much prefer my Carters, J W Young's and Garry Mills reels. In fact I have just ordered another reel from Garry for my 10 month old grandson. Also when it comes to trotting its so much nicer if you have a drag adjustment which can be set to the pull of the flow. Regards Martin

Here is the only centrepin I own. I don't use it much but when I do it's very enjoyable. It's not a fast spinner so I can handle it quite well without bird nests.

Can anyone tell me anything about it? Is it modern??

I've just won one of these of the bay of e for £5.85. :thumb:

Thanks Mark, just hope it's in usable condition, looks like it is from the pics.

SK used his on the Itching on the 5th.

Nice one JT!!! With a bit of oiling it spins well enough, just a few flicks needed to help it o its way.

I am lucky enough to now own a Lewtham "Leeds Classic" courtesy of my mate Martin James (Thanks Mate!!!). Superb reels that spins forever, looking forward to trying it out over the coming weeks. :thumb:

I have one and have always found it to be a good solid reel. Nothing flashy but functional.

That's a seriously clean reel...almost too good to use. I don't think I've seen a cleaner one.
