    Centrepin reel anyone.....

    Thankyou Etienne for the nice reply. At the end of the day you deffo don't have to spend so much money on a centrepin reel to go fishing and enjoy yourself. There are many cheaper options to use which are perfectly fine, a couple of examples being the okuma aventa pro, or the okuma sheffield...

    I wasn't sure where to post this but I use them for barbel so thought Barbel talk may be the best place. Obviously if it isnt appropriate please delete it. I know the forum has some centrepin reel fanatics so this may be of interest to them 🙂👍.
