It was less that one month ago. I was fishing the canyon of the Kalama river and I had the pleasure of meeting an older gentleman Fishing this funny looking real. We spoke for a bit and I moved on. Later that day we happened to walk in to the same hole again. I gave up the hole so I could watch him fish. This guy could cast one small glob of eggs with a snap shot ( very small one) twice as far as I could. The method was beautiful. He could drift really light gear in to any hole Next thing I know he goes "there is a fish behind that rock" next cast FISH ON!!! Well He was using a center pin reel. As I am allways looking for something new I spoke to him about the reel he told me that it was a "Keen Caster" Bought in Seattle 50 yrs ago for $ 2.50. Well I know that modern tech has not caught up to the center pin reel but as far as presentation goes I think it can not be beat. The gentleman also told me there to buy one his friend DUKE makes them. You can buy one to. Its not much to look at but it works well. Call Duke its only $ 30.00 Tel.360-573-6668 Happy fishing and KEEP THE RIVERS CLEAN !!!!
