Pros:
|
Extremely free running. Large Diameter for fast line retrieve and adjustable drag. Hand made by craftsmen.
|
|
Cons:
|
Other than the bearing seizing, which was probably my fault, I cannot think of any weaknesses. The bearing was replaced free of charge by Masterline, the agents.

The finest centre-pin reel i have ever used This is without doubt a Rolls Royce amongst centre-pins. I have been using it now for nearly 6 years and look forward every year to the autums and winter months when I can get out on a fast river and do some trotting for roach.No doubt this reel will st

Pros:

WELL a pleasue to fish with, a suberb bit of kit and i am well pleased i put that bit of extra cash into it. Great all round performance, super smooth, very forgiving, great looks and spins in the slightest of flows.

Cons:
|
Would have to be the cost, but saying that I have used other reels with similar RRP'S that come no where near this. Not super light but manageable.

Pros:

The adjustment to allow for line to be pulled off the pin at various tension is flawless... I can even trot a fairly small stick on my local (slow-flowing!) river. The most pleasurable reel I've ever used.
|
|
Cons:
|
None... apart from the ever-present possibility of dropping a centrepin and watching it roll along the bank before dissappearing into 11 ft of muddy water! I know, I WAS that man!!! Calling a frogman out to retrieve said reel will probably set you back an

Brilliant! I love this reel and will hopefully be passing it down to my son too. It really IS worth the money and I look forward to running it out when conditions are favourable. Although I class myself as a 'specialist angler', for PURE aesthetic enjoyment, I can't

A very good reel, however... ...In slower paced riverslike the ones I fish in Essex and Suffolk, the Okuma Sheffield is I have found to be far superior as it is far more free running. I know that might seem odd but you need to try one to see for your self.
