Barkoff Juvenile at Sea Registered: 03/18/13 Posts: 123	Does anyone fish a spoon with their center pin float set-up? Not talking on a regular basis, however do some of you float & jig guys bring a few spoons along and fish them with a center pin and say 13 ft rod? If so, it is pretty easy to do?

He is a BC guy and I have posted his videos a couple of times, but these might be helpful to you. I know I'm going to give drifting small spoons a try this year. http://youtu.be/hzRNLKxLxG4 This is the link to the gear talk portion which may answer a few questions you have about center pin gear. http://youtu.be/RKut56wHhFM

You should realize that you can use just about any type of rod and reel to fish a multitude of styles and techniques. There are people that tuna fish with Barbie rods. There are guys who troll for salmon using fly rods and reels. There are people who accidentally catch lings and halibut with salmon trolling gear. Etc, etc. The examples are endless! If your interested in in float fishing, study that and not so much what you're using in terms of rod and reel. Will certain rod and reel combos make things easier? Sure! But don't get so focused on it! Relax man! It's just fishing!

On a related note, I bought a Popeal Pocket Fisherman off of eBay last year, I'm looking to take a chinook off the boat with it this year

steeliedrew SRC Poser Registered: 11/04/10 Posts: 2104 Loc: Snohomish	Try fishing "lil shaver" spoons or dick nites under a float. I know I will be this summer...should have my pin reel this week hopefully. _________________________ No head like STLHD! "Dude...where's your boat!?" Team runaway drift boat prostaff.
