Prof Bumblebee puts the facts down in a nutshell.
Centrepins are lovely to use where you don't have to cast very far, for trotting on small streams and for posing.
However a modern fixed spool reel is far better for trotting the bigger rivers such as Trent, Severn or Hants Avon.
Sure you can learn the Wallis cast with the pin, but quote honestly, other than being able to say you can do it, it's hardly worth the trouble.
