it depends where you are fishing, in some creeks out east you can do fine with spinning, but if you are making long drifts, its more simple to use centerpin, gives you better line control, less twists, faster hookups.
True. A friend and I were fishing up north and he landed two with his spin cast and I got skunked, not even a bite. Might've been my line setup, since I didn't use a tippet. But the next day, I used a tippet and then a leader, I landed one and my friend got skunked.
Really hard to say whether using either methods makes a difference.
The day that my friend landed two trout, he let it drift pretty far down and depsite his line being in the waters, he still managed to land two.

Staffman->Yes, i think I'm in that same boat too, where I feel at times I'd love to be able to throw some spinners to try something different. The centre-pin really limits you to float fishing. But if nothing else is biting, I love the flexibility to switch different lures.
But I also love the drift free presentation that only a centre pin can offer.
I've hooked a few trout with the centre-pin, but I haven't hooked any fatties to really enjoy using a float reel. I'm still learning and I do look forward to using it each time.

dont underestimate a spinning reel though, used properly one can drift as fluid as someone using a pin. although the range of the drift might be limited. lets face it not everyone
has money to spend on float gear, and you really dont need the high end stuff. theres cheaper stuff out there that'll do the job fine. a plus is when float fishing gets slow u can change up your
presentation such as throwing spinners, try that with a float reel with out getting line twist like a mofo.

1- the fight is way better
2- more control over the fish when fighting
3- Because there is less line on water faster hook up and better presentation
Sure there are some areas of a river where you can fish a spinner w/ float and have the same affect as the C/P but the next hole might be longer. So why limit yourself
As for wanting to throw a lure bring the second rod and leave it in the car. I know it might be a long walk to the car, but if it means Fish On it's well worth it.

I would recommend a centre pin to anyone who mainly target trout.

I got a centre pin in 2009 and I fly fish a lot. So, I was really use to the feel of fly reels, but when I used a centre pin it felt like a fly reel and it was easier for me to fish with a centre pin rather a spin reel.

really? can you post some pics of your setup?

Out of curiosity, how does small spinners/spoons cast using a centerpin reel? I have never used one myself and the only time i have seen them in use the guys are tossing float/live bait setups.
