"Flotteur" Center Pin Rods

In the beginning there was "Pinning". Long before reels with gears and rods of composite, fishermen had to rely on skill to cast and catch. Using reels that would spin like grandfather's windmill in a stiff Kansas wind and attached to long soft rods, those early experts could handle any fish that swims. Their ability to float long stretches of productive water with deadly accuracy is why "pinning" is gaining popularity again today. While today's spinning and casting gear allow fishermen to make multiple casts in a short period of time, the center pin fisherman's gear rarely leaves the water as extremely long and accurate drifts provide more opportunity for the strike. If counting the number of casts you make each day is your game, stay with your conventional gear. But if hooking lots of fish is even more important to you, it's time to try "Pinning".
