Well Ya Bardo I still have several of those knuckle bustin centerpins but I`ve seen the light. mind you we are slow learners up here so you`ll still see some centerpins on the Vedder.
Actually when it comes to fishing light from a flyrod its hard to beat the smooth drift of a centerpin.Even the Yanks from Michigan will tell you that. By the way you can still get the mother of all birds nests with a centerpin.
