Need some info on centerpin reels. I am looking at buying one this year, but dont want to spend a million bucks on one. The Islander looks great but is too costly and has no lock on it. The Alvey has to be turned sideways to cast, and that looks akward to me. Kent at Teds told me Loomis has one, but have been unable to find it on the net (I think he said Loomis). Does anybody know of any others for a reasonable price? Or am I stuck with the mega bucks brands? any info is appreciated. Want to use it for float fishing with some of my old fly rods that I dont use any more. thanks.
