It takes true skill to use a centre pin, respect is due for using what he is comfortable with and ignoring all the idiots with all the gear and no idea!

That is an oustanding reel and the sound it makes when you get a run like that is the reason you use one. With these reels you play the fish so much more! Out of interest what strength/diameter line do you use on your pin for barbel?

@kimberreley ! I ONLY ever use 20lb braid right through its about diameter of 6lb mono, and make the hooklinks with the same braid, these days it's power pro. I love the contact with braid on centrepins and the fact you can take in line on a "running" fish in tight situations, try that with a fixed spool! Tight Lines...

@dogboyrattin It's an Avon royal Supreme, and I have had it since new (early 70's)but only put it to use the past few seasons, I have had wye common carp to 29lb 12ozs, pike 20lb and 27lb in a session, wye record chub of 7lb 6ozs on it + many 6lb+ chub and many 10lb+ barbel.... Perchance in your infinite wisdom and knowledge of fishing reels you can suggest to me a better reel.........

No Dave, it's fairly usual to have line from top of centerpin so u dont catch line with fingers if "batting" back to reel in as can happen when it comes from bottom of reel.
