The Maggotdrowners Forum - Zen Master pin reel
Might be some use, there's a fella on the thread that's involved with Zen Master.
Sam. Thanks. He did say that more than half his output went abroad. No email/website.

if you like the design of the zen master (skeletal) then get a bid in on this
centre pin reel | eBay
much better reel
better still buy this dam (the origanal skeletel design) rather than a zen master copycat

However you will find both the original or the zen copy a bit of a handful in anything other than ideal conditions save your money and get a decent standard design centerpin which will be of more use to you
The KP is a sea fishing reel made in South Africa. Judging by some of the fish it poses with and given its design it must weight a ton! Nice eccentric bit of kit though! Costs £28 new [plus post from southern hemisphere
]The DAM's go for silly money but i'm watching just in case.
Cheers. Keep them coming folks.

I've got a Cortesi so sensible is covered. I just find the idea of a super-light reel to go with my super-light rod for about £30 irresistible

Unless you are a collector rather than a serious user do not bother with ‘pins that lack a backplane. Out of curiosity I took a punt on a Zen master around 18 months ago. The line constantly wrapped around the handle and in anything other than a totally windless day it was nightmare.
If you want an introduction to the delights of using a pin and are on a budget look around for a Marco Cortesi or a Shakespeare Lincoln.

Got a new one on the way for £15 . Already have a Cortesi. With the right conditions I'm hoping it will be great fun.
