Hi Graham
I fished yesterday but on the backstream as main river still to much flow and even the trout stream was strong flowing.
Surprisingly a lot of roach appeared and had a few over the 1lb mark. Normally it's hard work even to get one or two.
Avon and Stour mostly still unfishable except...
Graham I originally bought a pair of these for tench fishing but I have been using one of them for floater fishing for medium size carp and have been very happy with it.
Have had good fun catching fish up to 22lb and look forward to using it again once the river season is over.

As with previous posts I also have a Volvo XC90 2019. Great car though it's a diesel but carries all my gear no problem.
Drives well with various gadgets that I mostly don't use. Laughed when I first bought it as it has head up display and heated steering wheel.
Now I love them and will have...
Excellent
Thanks very much for that.
I just love centrepins and even though I am winding down my collection I am always tempted when something different comes along.
Never met Chris but have spoken with him and had repairs etc done by him.

For someone new to trotting with a pin there is one consideration I would definitely mention.
The butt ring on the rod should be relatively close to the reel fittings.
For me it makes casting with a pin so much easier.
A couple of years ago I purchased an 11' Shakespeare to fish a small...
On offer is an Okuma Sheffield 4 1/2" Centrepin Reel. It is in good used condition though there is some rubbing to the
edge of the backplate where it has been rested on the ground. I have tried to show this in the photo.
It comes with a plain black neoprene pouch
Looking for £95 posted. NOW SOLD...

I fish the Test a lot and to be honest I get far more bites and fish on red maggot than I do with corn.
I also found that Grayling don't seem to be bothered on hook size so I use ready tied Drennan Red Maggot Hooks size 14
with double maggot and the micro barb pressed down with forceps...
Had a look at the New Drennan Acolyte Specimen Float 14' yesterday and it does seem a bit more powerful than my Plus with
as previously mentioned that extra power in the lower section.
So I bought it but unfortunately as it's going to be a Xmas present from my wife I cannot get to use it yet so...
