  • 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...

  • buy a decnt reel it sounds really cheap

  • @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.

  • 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!

  • Awesome. He releases one barbel then hooks into another. Brilliant stuff.

  • dos he need to buy a what you call a decent reel.-why waste his money? even if it sounds cheap he still catching BARBEL. ---so one thing is proven here man dos not need to spend spend a lot of money ...just use really cheap ones and you will still catch barbel....or is it the time of day.
