Yes Mrs Perry, put the bullet in the hole, hold the handle and point away from people and fire.

PS 100yds of whatever line you wanton it will do, you can always put a bit of backing on, but i dont bother.

Naa, just wind it straight on under a bit of tension get somebody to hold the spool in thier fingers gently.

Anyway, your to young to be using a pin.

Just use 50-100 yd spools

If it keeps raining like it is, you will be able to fish, from the top of Blackpool Tower.

Wendy I asked a similar quesion a while back, and the response I got was brilliant!

Here is the link, I found the pidgeon knot brilliant, and as has been mentioned before avoid too much line so it doesn't bed in. I love using my pin now even if I am still a beginner!

Good luck /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

Yeah getting on with the pin well thanks Wendy, but have just bough an ABU 501 for those windy days!

Need some more practice on my casting, but what I do is good enough at the moment, think its my own style of cast really!

Find it hard trotting on slow flowing rivers, but guess this comes with practice, have got my eyes peeled for a 15ft rod to help me fish the Bristol Avon a bit easier as its not the easiest place to trot a float in certain areas!

Just love the feel of a fish whilst playing it on the pin I guess, the whole casting thing is just a means to an end, but love the contact and feel of using the pin.

Would buy another one so I can load with some heavier line, just cant afford it at the moment!

If you are ever down near Bath let me know and I'll treat you to a day on the Brsitol Avon and maybe you can show me the walliss cast! /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

Hope your fishing goes well

Simon

Measure the diameter of the actual spool, not the outer rim.

Multiply that by 3.14 to give the circumference. The answer will be in inches of course.

Now take 1800 and divide by the answer you got before and that will tell you how many turns of the centre-pin reel to get on 50 yards, which is enough line.

.

I.E.: Diameter of spool is 3.8", therefore 3.8 x 3.14 = 11.932" per turn. Now divide 1800 (= 50 yards in inches) by 11.932 gives 150 turns.

EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY.

/forum/smilies/confused_smiley.gif easy when you know how init /forum/smilies/thinking_smiley.gif

The bit I dont understand is how do you ensure an even wind? A fixed spool reel does it for you /forum/smilies/confused_smiley.gif

apologies for being numb but its all new to me /forum/smilies/embarassed_smiley.gif
