#248811 First centerpin reel

Posted by schnip on 08 November 2012 - 10:52 AM

i think its all just prestige---two bearing nine bearings...blah blah---they are all machined on a lathe to certain specs measure in thousands of a inch..--they all only need two bearings (simple physics-if there is a pin that the bearings sit on and that pin or hub is true you need max 2 bearings one at either end more than that is only to inflate the price and put a sticker on it saying bearings bearings galore) .i have seen several guys ranting about the same issues on the water beside me as the guys with 200 dollar reels....anyway my raw 2 spins like the best of them-and i dont test it by spinning it in my hand because thats like testing a 4x4 by throwing a snowball at the window---great sales tactic but completely redundant...-if the water is so still that it doesnt start on its own---A) start it yourself whick i have seen a ton of guys do that have more money in thier reel than i have in my car---B) in that slow of a current you need a bobber and a worm on a spinning reel--not a CP lol...funniest thing is that i always thought the fly guys were like a secret society of brand names and posh tea times---i was wrong. a reel for fly guys is a place to house line---the prestige comes with experience not how much you reel is or the name on it....not to mention if you go to the expensive factory you will see the same robots making them as the cheaper ones---the owners are just smiling more at the expensive ones...just take my rant for what it is...before i get ousted for not being a part of the imperial KP borg---love you guys haha
