For those of us not blessed with the perfect kitchen sink, you can push the stick through a cardboard box and use that to hold the line spool.

Ok, I’ve bought a kitchen sink like Tim’s and just need to organise a plumber to get started.

Watched this video for the 4th time. From Michigan here. About to load line on my first centerpin. Bought an Okuma. I did buy dacron backing, as I plan to fish for steelhead. I'm nervous about ensuring I get it right. Thanks for the video.

From MIchigan as well (UP). Don't follow this guys advise. The spool in the sink is upside down.

Sheffield? I've been on the fence about getting one of those, or a kingpin for just under a hundred bucks more. With food and gas prices and having just gone back to school I think I'm just gonna go with the Okuma. Good enough for now, plus it's gonna be a smaller diameter to find my super light action blood run pinland. I'm sure some time down the road I'll get a heavier rod and I'll get the more pricey reel then. I'm from Northeast Ohio and the only good size stretches of river are either at the mouth, or in the case of The Grand the conditions are only good a few times a year so I can get away with a lighter rod. If need be I'll get out my spinning set up again

Shouldn't the line from reel been pulled the other way. From the bottom vs top?

@LoLoo-wg3wj 3 жыл бұрын

if you are right handed what reel should you use?

@colvilleoutfitters3290 5 жыл бұрын

shouldnt you always go bottom to bottom so match the memory of the mono? That way it sits the same way on your reel that it sat on the spool

@ribolovsana4991 5 жыл бұрын

Probably not. Because it is not same memory. Some spools are bigger some smaller. This way you straiten the mono line and make it's own memory. As gentleman in video said you avoid line twist. I have done it both ways and this one is better. You should try it.

@MrButdim Жыл бұрын

I understand your point, but I haven't found that it makes any difference. I intentionally use a supple line with low memory for a number of reasons.

@johnklansek8898 Жыл бұрын

Tim just a question regarding tension do you ensure the line is wound up tightly like you do for spinning reels and Alvey reels? that's a nice centrepin

@MrButdim Жыл бұрын

A small amount of tension as the line is wound onto the reel.

@DJFarside Жыл бұрын

What's the reason for only putting a small amount of line on the reel? I'm looking to get a centre pin reel to try out and have no experience with centre pins whatsover so any input would be great, i would like to trot down some of the english rivers and streams, would you recommend 6lb or 8lb line? Unlike my fixed spools I can't have spare spools with line with centre pin lol. Cheers.

@DJFarside Жыл бұрын

I guess with only such a small amount of line on the reel you could easily get it off to put different strain on lol.

@MrButdim Жыл бұрын

Loading the minimum amount of line will help to alleviate bedding in.

@chuckpatch1230 8 ай бұрын

50 yards of line is enough??

@colinmeech650 5 жыл бұрын

What if your center pin has spokes - how do you load line on that?

@gbwildlifeuk8269 3 жыл бұрын

Doesnt matter youre loading it on the reel not the spokes!

@jbradshaw4236 2 жыл бұрын

Hope you found the answer you were looking for after posting it, if you have that type of reel you can tie the mono onto one of the bars then wind it on. I know what you meant,

@MrButdim Жыл бұрын

If by "spokes" you mean line lays, exactly the same.

@troutking7986 5 жыл бұрын

Shouldn't you load the reel with braid backing first?

Also you don’t want a lot of line on the reel as it beds in and causes issues whilst trotting.

What for? As mentioned below, it will only encourage line bedding.

@paulnixon2921 2 жыл бұрын

line has to come off the top .... much better presentation and contol

@webb-cast1030 Жыл бұрын

The spool in the sink IS upside down! No excuses or arguments about it. The line needs to come off the spool the same direction it goes on the reel. The presenter blew off this fact elsewhere in the comments with a lame "that's why I use a supple line" BS excuse. Someone called him out and rather than admitting he was doing it wrong, he let his ego mislead people that don't know better.
