I reckon most places will be quieter than expected. There does seem to be a downward trend in numbers on the bank at any one time which I suspect is cost of living plus the covid influx dwindling away possibly? I'll be lost in Wales somewhere.

Backs away from the keyboard and counts to ten should be the mantra for the post.

I don't need any lessons on how to be even more of an amateur angler 😁. I have seen that one but there is still a big gap in the youtube catalogue for UK centerpin fishing I found but thanks for the nod.

I have been watching centerpin casting techniques on youtube recently and it's all very American/steelhead based which is fine but it would be good to see some UK centered talks on the subject so have subscribed. Good luck

Can I take the speedia please and is paypal OK?

Any pics please?

Any reason you singled me out for giving the "wrong" answer as some others have answered similarly?

I think if we're talking on the reel lifespan every year is a good general guide I feel. I also strip off yards off line from time to time if I feel any slight damage or just feel like getting back to some "fresher" line up the spool for my own peace of mind. Generally I found any weakness...

I found the carbon inners flexed too much so that when using buzzer bars that whole setup wobbled like a jelly and twisted like "it was last summer " so I got shot of them. You probably won't be using bars barbel fishing but thought it worth mentioning.

Shouldn't.

What's good money? I might be persuaded to sell mine.

Thanks for the replies, I do appreciate the advice. I will go to the Romsey fair and see if I can't resist something. I have been before and bought my last centerpin from there and almost got bankrupted by a beautiful Barder rod, although looking at todays prices it would have doubled in value...

Maybe they mysteriously weren't there at all which to be fair would have been handy as I genuinely wanted to run the float through that swim. It is on my mind that I am not overly careful with tackle. The drying and storying is extra hassle.

That is inline with my practical side. Wasn't on the Ringwood club waters. Nutshelled

I spent a lovely last day of the season romping and chucking a float about. On the slow muddy walk back, I came across a couple of dapper chaps who were fishing with vintage tackle. Whilst I stopped to pass the time of day, one of the guys rod burst into life. I was spell bound by the lovely...

Have only used mine once so far but for a non connoisseur and for the low cost it appears to be decent rod. It's a bit hobson's choice in the two piece 13ft float rod department and might have chosen differently if there were more choice but for my needs it's adequate.

The shop or the fishery?

I find the closing of this shop more jarring than most others although any angling shop closing is not good. Davis and the Royalty are as iconic as each other that it would be as absurd if the fishery announced it's closure. Not a frequent visitor to the area but some of my earliest childhood...

Maybe or just do what comes naturally. Proper comedy gurns with the regulation horse collar could be a go'er
