Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

Thanks for the advice Ian, I've managed to acquire a Marco Cortesi today (thanks to Mike Winford), but will definitely keep my eyes peeled for a Sheffield or Aventa pro. Now I've got some learning to do.
 
A heads up for the BFW pin afficionados, it looks like Roger Surgay has purchased a large collection of pins from a collector and is selling them off on the Crabtree bazaar and centrepin reels for sale or wanted groups on Facebook.

There are some Mill Tackle company reels and I think I spotted some Chris Lythe pins amongst some of the earlier pictures.
 
The browning sphere splced rods were mentioned recently on a thread regarding a 15ft grayling rod.
So, this is a 14ft browning sphere match rod which I found to be ideal for small to larger species on the river.
Ive targetted grayling with the 14ft Sphere match rod for years now and its perfect for the job...imo.
I've also targetted barbel with the rod and have caught quite a lot with the occassional 10lber.
The sphere match rods are very rarely spoken about as it seems most people don't even know of their existence.
Anyhow, I had a quick session using one for anything that would oblige me yesterday afternoon.
Here's a short video of the rod in use for anyone interested.....
