Nope. It’s definitely not taking the fishing community by storm. I’m a fisherman and have yet to see someone using one with or without electrical tape.
Most people are fishing with bait casters when it's totally unnecessary. Spinning reels are much more efficient in most scenarios. I wouldn't touch a bait caster unless you're targeting fish over 50 lbs
Yeah the joke was is that the real is too expensive.. I wouldn't even consider paying $500 for a rod and reel either unless I was a millionaire or pretty well-off
As mentioned earlier in comments, float rods(most but more high end ones might have metal rings to tighten up),don't have the tightening rings. Some guys use hockey tape and others electrical tape. If you know nothing about pin fishing, you really shouldn't be talking big and making fun of the setup.
I am the Grandson of an Alabama pig and grain farmer. We had about 300 acres. What you will find is that these livestock farmers will buy a property with a creek running through it and make a dam and dig the dirt out to make a pond to feed their livestock with. These "cow ponds" as I used to call them ranged from 1/2 acre to about 5 acres and some of them have been there since the 1920's . Growing up I had access to my Grandpa's ponds and EVERYONE of the farmers that he was friends with ponds. As a result, I've been fishing for a long time and it wasn't uncommon to catch some large fish out of these ponds. What I've determined is that there's 3 types of fishing and can be predicated upon your mood for that day. 1. Lazy fishing: This is isually done with a simple rig with a bobber and some live bait. You can even use a cane pole. 2. Active: Usually done with a spinning reel or a bait caster using lures or various plastics. Cast and retrieve rinse and repeat. 3. Super Active: Fly fishing, you have to really work the cast and work the bait intensely for every cast. Recommended for streams however I have had a super fun time casting plugs in a pond during the spring when Bass are super aggressive. Don't really know why I posted all of this, hope it helped someone.
Great post. I fly fish, but got back into spinning rods for ultralight fishing. Salmon season is here and I'm trying to try float fishing for them like everyone else . Not for me, caught 4 on a spinner while people near me caught none
I've always wondered how the cattle ponds got there. I always assumed folks just dug em out. Never realized you'd just dam off the creek. Don't know why I never asked the old dude but I can confirm, I'm having to relearn how to fish because I'm used to these ponds, and I could pull out a good 50+ fish in an hour or two. I'm now fishing the rivers and I'm struggling
Centerpin reels are what most great lakes Steelhead fishers use. Awesome way to fish the creeks and rivers for steelhead, salmon and trout. You get so much better control of your drift with a pin.
I just put line on the spinning reel , it’s annoyingly tangling in the reel alot. This is my first time and I want fishing as my hobby , are there any tips?
@abdullahalharthi2429 I have to assume you either spooled too tightly, or too loosely, but it's hard to say without being able to see it and without knowing what kind/size of reel and the line you're using
I got so frustrated with my baitcaster I gave up and learned how to skip cast and do all the little tricks you can “only do on a baitcaster” with my spinning reel. This thing looks kinda cool though. I wouldn’t but it but it’s cool enough.
@@OGbqze baitcasters do not suck fuckk outa here kid. you probably backlash everytime. my gf literally used a baitcaster the first time and casted over 100 times all day without a single birdnest/backlash. Learn how to use one before you talk shit on them. Hell even my 3 year old can cast a baitcast.
Yeah, here in the states, we use centerpins all of the time. For the same thing. Usually river fishing. My grandpa taught me how to use one when I was a kid. They are pretty big in the coastal states as well.
I use centerpins in Canada for steelhead I personally wouldn’t buy this because using an actual centerpin takes a lot of practice and that’s what makes it special learning the casting techniques and stuff yk
@Max Centerpins allow the current of the river to pull line from the reel to match the speed of the current with next to zero drag on the line...even less than a spinning reel with the bail open.
It never ceases to amaze me all these people on RU-vid trying to sell stuff, but then they never leave a link to it where you can go and look at it to possibly buy it or even see if it’s true
He’s not asking you to buy it or is he wanting you to buy it? He’s just showing it to you….. never ceases to amaze me how mad people get when they’re showing something and not asked to buy it so they get upset about it🤣😆
Centrepin and fly reels do look the same but they are totally different, centrepin reels has no drag and they're mainly used for float fishing on fast flowing rivers, so you can pay out line as the float runs down stream with no resistance. Fly reels you need to pull the line of the reel and has a lot of resistance . It has a gear so the fly line doesn't just fall off and tangle up when your casting. This reel is the first innovation in decades. Redband well done, i might have to get 1 as i fish a few fast rivers in the UK with a stick float and casting has it's limits .
@@WesV centrepins will spin for a good few minutes or more when you give it a good spin, and you can get a good cast if you pull the line with each finger through the bottom 4 eyes and under arm the float slightly upstream and once the float and line are tight you don't really need to pay any line out, because the weight of the float and flow is enough to pull 2lb to 8lb line of the spool. a fly real would struggle to do that.
here in Vancouver Canada, we MOSTLY use centerpin reels for creek/river fishing, and how we use them is we attach a slip float to the line, and MOSTLY people use "ROE" for bait (cured salmon eggs) and you cast it up stream against the current and just let it float as far down as you want to, they are VERY good for float fishing because they let the line out without any resistance and it makes the ROE float through the water VERY naturally..... someeee people use them for other things, but MAINLYYY for float fishing is where I see them used (at least here in Vancouver Canada, im not sure what people use them for on other countries, but I am sure it would be similar usage.)
