when it comes to centre pins ie what are the disadvantages of a 4" as opposed to a 4.5" other than the amount of line reeled back in per revolution on the retrieve?
I had one of these Adcock Stanton’s without a ratchet it was a complete pain. Very free running in fact I found it too free running no end of tangles and got rid of it.
According to this smaller could be better for requiring less force to start the reel moving.
Torque Formula (Moment of Inertia and Angular Acceleration)
In rotational motion, torque is required to produce an angular acceleration of an object. The amount of torque required to produce an angular acceleration depends on the distribution of the mass of the object. The moment of inertia is a value that describes the distribution. It can be found by integrating over the mass of all parts of the object and their distances to the center of rotation, but it is also possible to look up the moments of inertia for common shapes. The torque on a given axis is the product of the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration. The units of torque are Newton-meters

Sounds like someone needs to get a life LOL.
I thought you might be interested in how to work out how much torque was needed to move different size (weight reels) well that and I was waiting for the world superbikes from Losail to start

I know Graham, thank's bud, I was only pulling your leg
All the einstien theorising falls flat on its face if it needs oiling !I did realise that you were, I was bored waiting for the bikes and was messing about

You've got me there Graham, if the reel didn't revolve to my satisfaction in the conditions you describe I'd go back to using my old Mitchell match, the other last ditch option would be an old "Lincoln" reel , the one that you could turn on its axis.
