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. Mike

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...

Julian 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...

Tom Not sure if you ever view Neil freeman's "Angling Auctions" he often has one or two Paul Witcher reels come up for sale. In fact I sold a Witcher "Avon Elite" via the auction a short time ago and if I remember correctly the hammer price was about £1300 though the reel did have some...

Hi Ian Re the Revolver I have had it for a long time but certainly within the last 20 years as I only really got into pins when I moved from Essex to be near the Avon, Stour and Test. This is one of two I have owned so not sure if it was my first or second purchase. I cannot remember if I...

Hi Alan Yes you are correct I do have a Browning Revolver which I am a bit hesitant to sell. It's a lovely reel and in it's original wooden box. I only used it a couple of times and then went on to use my collection of J. W. Youngs Bob James reels ( I have 4 of them). However I did manage to...
