how 'bout a history lesson for me what/where/why was the CP developed?It's looks like a "specialized" tool to me ..simply because it doesn't look all that versatile.But I don't know what eye don't no SOOOO any  history  regarding CP from earliest  history/development to popular/modern use and where, would be fanfreekintastic ...fo-reel  ..L.T.A.


1800's by the Scottish.... When i was over in the uk they are pretty popular with barbel anglers that needed long drifts for light hitting fish.

They are still not used very often out west for steel.  The guys I know who live & fish there regularly area grateful for that & they dread the day the become popular out there.




cool lesson, thanks.  
 
but why do your western buddies dread it?  think it'll deplete the resource?  just don't like pinners?  combination?


Combination.  Already there are far less fish in much bigger rivers than the great lakes.  Most of them spey fish exclusively.  Both fishing styles cover a good bit of river using different timing & rhythm.  They'd get in each others' way, basically.

Pins are great if you get to know how to work them. Expensive yes! More hook ups yes, but for me less landed. But the amount landed is probably the same as with a fly or spin. But I have more fun. They can and are used in the Erie tribs more than one thinks. Most don't know what the person is using, rig looks like a long fly rod. Casting is a beach to get used to.....

What are your opinions on centerpin fishing


Stupid on any Erie trib where anyone is downstream from you.  Go to Ohio, the Cat, or elsewhere in New York.   I actually had a bozo start pinning 10 yards upstream from me on 16 mile.  It took him three times for me to pull in his line before he got the message.   We were the only two on the creek within sight.

Typical. On Erie tribs. There should be an IQ Test when purchasing one. That would eliminate many buyers in Erie.
