Centrepin Reels

[linebites]

Well i have gone and bought a centrepin reel for me float rod for a change instead of using me fixed spool reel
I bought the Okuma Aventa VT1002 reel i was well impressed with how smooth the reel was.
I am hopefully going to use it next week for a spot of float fishing for tench / carp / and some silver fish.
Any way while browsing the internet i found these clips on 3 types of cast.

Any other members use a centrepin reel ?

Yes I use a centrepin though not as often as I should however the cast does need some practice to get right.

i have only used mine for about 20 mins then the wind picked up and that was that, can you buy the line guards for them.
