I'm looking at picking up centerpinning and had a question. I've never done this before but should have all of my gear in time to wet a next weekend for chum or early steelhead.

How aggressive or light are you guys palming (not sure the technical term) the reel while fighting a fish? I have not had much luck finding anything on that on the net or youtube.

Thanks in advance. After next week end I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.
