    Kingpin Reels

    Do any of you gents have a contact in the Kingpin world ? The number given on the UK website goes to a company which refers you to Stuart Ward's ( UK contact ) mail address. Tried contacting him via e-mail but received no reply. Any suggestions ?

    VERY Waterproof jacket

    Andy has them in the shop on this site under 'Wet Weather Gear'. I have a couple of them and they are great when you're moving around as , as David has already said, there is enough air circulation achieved to stop excessive sweating. As soon as the rain stops they can be taken off and packed...

    Talk about peaking too early.

    Your time has passed on the bank Richard, you now have to stand aside for the young master and limp back to your shed to lick your wounds and come up with some more home-mades for us to admire :)

    Avon Roach Project turn their attention to barbel

    Two fantastic individuals who gave the Hampshire Avon Roach populations the best chance of a return to their glory days and inspiration to others that getting up off your a**e and having a go will achieve so much more than just mourning the demise of times past. I wish them every success with...

    Which centrepin to choose?

    Go with an Okuma Sheffield or an Okuma Aventa Pro until you decide if a pin is for you. If it's not, you will have a good resale value on it, if it is you will still have a decent pin on your hands. Okuma made good quality pins affordable when they came onto the market. The Bowler pin is a...

    FOC

    Hi Josh, Are there no clubs in your area with a junior/seniors section that might be able to use them ? Shame to see them go to landfill and you could sleep like a baby at night knowing you had reduced your carbon footprint ! Either way a kind offer.👍

    Closed face reel vs pin vs fixed spool( open face )

    If it's for general silverfish trotting have a look at the original 501 or 506. The older models are are far superior in build quality to the new ones ( I had three of the different MK II models and moved them all on ). The clutch on all of them are notoriously bad so most play fish on backwind...

    Centre pin advice please ?

    I'm gonna buck the trend a bit but if you're looking for something towards the cheaper end then have a look at the Shakepeare Eagle or if you want something with a wide spool then a GeeBee centrepin. Both have nice strong ratchets ( although most pin ratchets can be adjusted by bending the...
