“One British company that is keeping the legacy of the centre pin reel alive is Dorset based Kingpin Reels Ltd. They have over the past decade utilised the engineering skills of parent company KW Engineering, who have in the past produced components for the now very sort after Arnold Kingpin centre pin reels. Due to circumstances changing in their favour around 10 years ago, KW Engineering brought Arnold Kingpin and dropped the “Arnold” to produce and sell reels under the banner we know as Kingpin.”
