Centrepins would be easier to make at home the whole body could turned out.
Think a centrepin would be easier to make. I would like to have one made with a elongated seat as I always hold my rod with two fingers either side of the reel. That and a faster retrieve.
Can't imagine many people would have the time,skill or tools to make a fixed spool easily
My concern might be a bit too much wobble on a longer seat??
A good point but I suppose it's like anything difficult in life that presents a challenge, climbing Everest, flying to the moon, heart transplants, supporting Aston Villa...........Cant see the point when there are any number of perfectly good f/s reels around for no money at all.

Would it wobble? I only need the centrepin to hang down an inch from the rod that would give me room to get my fingers underneath. I'm not an experienced pin angler so probably wouldn't work but it is what stops me from using a centrepin more
