I got the Raven RPX and Kingpin Zeppelin in Blue. Just buy it once and dont have to upgrade later. Its resell value is good if I decided to sell later on. > [@joelster](#): > > Just try side casting. It helps to have a lot of line on the spool too. What reel did you go with? - - - Updated - - - I hear ya! I ditched tge Wallis and been doing the BC swing. It’s getting better. After I learned it, then will move on to the Wallis cast. > [@albaaboog](#): > > based on your frustration I am assuming you are wallis casting. > > If you are fishing the lower and you are chucking \>1 oz of weight try BC casting it is much easier then trying to time a wallis cast. > > The wallis cast is tricky. One thing I struggled with was that I was spinning the reel before the rod was fully loaded. ---

It was on sale plus the exchange rate, no tax, free shipping. Came out to $500 and change. Figure if I buy a mid range then later upgrade, the money is about the same or more. > [@joelster](#): > > Kingpin? Damn you spent some coin! ---

I’d be afraid to scuff it! I like my centerpin, but I’ll never turn into one of “those” guys that uses a centerpin and swears off every other form of rod/reel out there. A spinning reel is 100 times more versatile. I do like the fight on a pin though! ---

A spinning reel is 100 times more versatile. I do like the fight on a pin though! im with you on the spinning! I was hoping to hook one on my pin to see what the thrill is, but i have a mixed feeling today when I hooked and landed one today. Oh it will got scratches and bruises just like our cars LOL! The first couple scratches will hurts, but after that it’s ok. ---

A spinning reel is 100 times more versatile. I do like the fight on a pin though! The centerpin is just another tool. I think it has its time and place depending on the body of water and the flow conditions. although the spinning reel is more versatile. For example; I love to use the center pin in the lower Niagara, but would never use it in a low and clear situation on 18 mile erie I have also out fished pinners by bottom bouncing plastics, jigs or roe using my spinning reel in some of the various Ontario tribs ---

What time of day does everyone prefer fishing? I’ve always went in the mornings and had the best luck. Now I’m on first shift. I hit up 18 yesterday after work and got nothing. I’m told fishing at dusk is just as good as morning. I don’t know how much I believe that though. ---

I’ve caught fish at all different times of the day. I don’t think there is much merit to time-of-day when it comes to trout.

NICE FISH JOE! I always wanted to hit up 18 miles creek. But just never make it out there. I always ended up going to the Lower Niagara! Maybe I know the area so well. I’m going tomorrow morning to practice on the center pin. ---

Went this morning with a friend. Landed 3 steelies and lost 1. All on my pin setup.

100% catch and release here, unless I am on a charter that I paid for and we catch a nice salmon. The amount of fish in the rivers and creeks is a fraction of what it used to be. ---

I’m getting better at the center pin casting. No tangle, cast alot further this morning. Ended the morning with 2 rainbows and 1 steelhead.

What was the water clarity like? I see the black jig so i’m assuming it was real clear. - - - Updated - - - I went to Johnson creek today. Was high and stained more than I thought it would be.
