The reason I ask this question is I fished last winter for grayling using a Leeds classic centre pin reel and I must say I enjoyed fishing with it untill it started to come apart whilst I was fishing up to my waist in water last winter. The problem was the centre screw holding the reel together had worked loose. I managed to tighen the screw using my clipper's on my waistcoat but to be honist its put me off using this reel.
In the mean time I've just bought myself a J W Young II Purist cente pin and I love it its better made and its a lot lighter and before anyone says it. A lot more expensive!
