I always use centrepins when trotting and absolutely love them. However I have recently started fishing a couple of stretches where I am not a good enough caster with a pin to reach the far tree line.
Barbel are not the target fish chub, roach and dace are what I am aiming for.
What fixed spool...
Going through my boxes of odds and ends I found this.
I guess the hole on the side towards the top is for a bar to screw the spike into the ground.
There is a hole at the very end but it's only 10mm in diameter which I think is smaller than an umbrella pole
so any thoughts please
