Centerpin VS Flugrulle

[erki]

Har funderat lite men inte kommit fram till något vettigt....
Skulle man kunna använda en flugrulle som centerpin rulle för exempelvis trotting el dylikt?
Vad e skillnaden egentligen?

They are both very different creatures even though they resemble each other (sort of), A centrepin reel is perfectly balanced with two handles or with out, depending on personal taste. It is also extremely free running, with a low inertia (easily starts spinning) Mine centrepin can be sent spinning with just a couple of BB shot pinched on the line, very sensitive indeed. Mine spins for nearly 50 seconds with a hard push, around 30 is acceptable I believe.

I can’t really imagine a fly reel being that suitable, but put some line on and see how much shot you have to put on the line to set it in motion.
Also give it spin and see how long it manages to go for. But it’s a real compromise I’m sure, and nothing like the real thing.

As there are no gears in either reels, it helps to have a large diameter, this helps with line retrieve, so around 4½ to 5inch is suitable for trotting.

My advice to you, if you are truly interested have look on eBay for a decent second hand reel, if it doesn’t work out for you, then you can sell it for the price you paid for it, as they hold there money very well. Or of course sell it and get an upgrade.

Or have a chat with Gute he has recently bought a reel from England by the famous JW Youngs company, I forget the name of the reel, but they retail at £175 but he I believe paid £104 so almost half price.

Just let me know if you need any advice or tips, these reels are some what of a passion of mine, and I jump at the chance to talk centrepin!!

Nu förstår jag, vad e det för spö som passar till detta?
Duger det med ett match-spö på 13 fot eller e det till detta man använder bologonese-match spön?

Hittade inte så mycket på ebay men denna underliga rullen var där bl.a.:

If you go in to ebay UK, under centrepin you should get 50 to 60 reels come up. dont forget to write CENTREPIN, many make the misstake and write centerpin, its easy to get the e and r round the wrong way. Strange spelling i know!

This looks like nice bet for a first reel, it will probably go for a few hundred kronor, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leeds-Centrepi...QQcmdZViewItem

Mind you, before bidding email the seller first to check if he will post to Sweden. Some say just UK but are willing to post abroad if asked.
