Get Started Centerpin Fishing with This $55 Reel #fishing #flyfishing #centerpin
Answering the mail on the Centerpin Reel I used to catch a couple trout. So far, I like it... able to try this method with spending too much!
I bought the reel in Amazon but shipped from the UK. It took several weeks for it to arrive. While it was intransit, I watched a number of videos on centerpin fishing, casting, and techniques.
After it arrived, I practiced casting it using a Wallis Cast that calls for pulling the line off the reel and then casting. Similar to a double haul cast when fly fishing.
I still need to practice my cast to reduce the backlashes I get, but I am able to cast it far enough to fish local ponds.
My intent is to try float fishing it at the local tailrace - Denison Dam and possibly Lake Lewisville Ecological Learning Area (LLELA). Both, offer a great opportunity to drift fish.
Given the reel as virtually no drag, line comes off easily and should offer a drag free drift when fishing a tailrace.
Do check back for more. And, do checkout the video short to see the reel spin effortlessly!
