Centerpin reels

Classification

Subtype: Centerpin reel
Type: Reel
Category: Tackle & Baits

A centerpin looks like a large-diameter fly reel, but it has no drag, which allows it to spin freely on its axis (its center pin) forward and backward. Centerpin reels do have a clicker, but it is used for transporting the reel, not for fishing. A centerpin rod is long, often between 11 and 13 feet in length.
