PINNING SOON

Here is a link to the new Kingpen and I got one on order: http://www.kingpinreels.com/index.html
 
Here is a link to the new Okuma with a drag: http://www.fishusa.com/tackleshop/catalog_product.asp?url=Okuma-Sheffield-Sirata-SRT-1002-Center-Pin-Reel&i=C777361BB06E4A5EB0B7713D8145CAB9&fx=1

Okuma lol omg what next. If your going to buy a reel least get something better than a okuma just my 2 cents.
King pin, Islander, Apex, stanton, Raven all top end reels. Ross came out with the Flow not impressed at all poorly designed reel. Ross makes excellent fly reels but as to pinning they need to stick with the reels that made them famous and that's fly reels.

OUT,never put it away.Did buy another Okuma Sheffield reel and spooled it up with 6lb and will keep the other with 10lb.for the big boys

Crap just have to know where to look i actually find several that are for sale used remind you excellent shape, for a not to bad of a price tag, all depends on what you like and what you want.

carp floatfishing.net that's where you will find some very nice reels and very nice sticks for sale. And yes it all from Canada.

Yes anywhere from $600 to $900 depending on what you was looking for. I gave you the site. It's called floatfishing.net.        I hope this helps.

Are you on drugs? LMAO! 300.00 Apex reels, Okuma reels are garbage.... What's next? Gas is going back to 1.25 a gallon and the DoDo bird is going to return from extiction?  I've been a member of that site since they operated using the old scrolling message board, (at least 5 yrs) and the very least I've seen an original Apex being advertised for was 1200.00. What do you mean by "depending what you was looking for"?? Is the price difference from 300.00 to 900.00 for an Apex that has been run over by a truck, and one that has just been "dropped" a few times?  Seriously, over the past year I have seen you and your friend come on here and make remarks that were misleading or inaccurate, and based largely on nothing. From rod blanks to reels, the two of you proclaim to know just enough to be dangerous...  To put it plainly, do your homework when offering information, you're not the only person who knows how to type in "centerpin" and hit a search key. Everything within this sport is based on what a person is comfortable using and can afford. Although many of us enjoy using custom reels/rods and the attention to detail that USUALLY, and I stress Usually, goes along with them, most are relegated to make a house or car payment than buy a fishing reel.  If someone likes his/her Okuma so be it, I've seen plenty of guys with tackle that in your words is junk/laughable, make the fool who went out and bought 3000.00 worth of gear look like a rich chump streamside. Let me clarify... IT'S NOT THE PRICE TAG OF THE ROD OR THE REEL THAT PUTS FISH ON THE BANK. Oh, by the way...  If you're going to use somebody's quote as your own, get it right.  John Collina's, (AKA "JC Custom Tackle") personal quote affixed to his signature while posting is quote; "I told her one more drift... She left me cab fare." 
     
Later DuuD. 

First of all Roy Boy for your information, I never said that Apex reels where new did i. I have seen many that where on the used forum for sale. Okuma in my own opinion are nothing but junk but that's my opinion. And for your information I use a low end float stick made by ST.Croix called a 13ft wild river. And i use a Raven SST which i have used for 5 season and countless fish with no problems. So where ever you come off running your mouth about high end reels,rods,etc. It's all what you like and your correct just because you have a 5,000 dollar rig doesn't make you a better fisherman. I was just saying that i was looking to upgrade myself and i did i went with a Loomis GLX3 1562 to be exact. 13 fter, And i could careless about your dinosaur **** Begin on here for 50 years. Maybe you have your thoughts and your ideas about how you do things,but wait old people always have the same ideas how things should be and are scared of change or trying new things this is 2008 not 1950's. And does it bother you i can spell center pin. I never said that i was a expert but i have been doing for about 8 years now and i am always learning new and everything i can about the sport. Let's see steel head season is approaching I'll be more than happy to get together and fish with you. With my St Croix, I'll leave the Loomis at home since i haven't fished it much yet. So if you think your going to walk all over me old buck i think you have another thing coming. So if you want to fish with me i would be more than glad to fish with you any day anytime work permitting. And i do work for my money and i buy what i want to buy. so before you go judging me and don't even know me i think you have alot of balls. I had another gent last year called me out i showed up we fished where he wanted to fish and he shut up. And now we are pretty good old boys. Not saying i can out fish you, or i am better than you, just stating the fact if you wanna run your mouth I'll be more than happy to fish with you fish for fish. If you want we can put some wager on it, i do have a good job that permits me to do that if need be. And the quote to John Collin she told me one more drift she left me cab fare well i liked it and changed it to she told me one more drift she left me. So to me seems you need to go get your eyes checked or glasses  before we fish going to suck all day when you keep changing your flys,or bait trying to figure out what i am hammering fishing on.  Hurry get back to me can't wait to see what you have to reply with pappy.

Two words....  Snoopy Rod.  Let me git my bucket and stogies. This will be my weapon of choice when, and if you would like to carry on with this challenge you've posted. I cleaned up on the Blue Pike back in the 50's with one, and I'll do the same with those overgrown pelletheads. Hell, I may be singlehandedly responsible for the demise of the Blue Pike with this rod... Maybe when I'm finished laying a lesson on yur young buck azz you'll be touting the power of this magnificent piece of fishing tackle.  I don't care what kinda fancy gear you got.... All I need is a case of Genny an some egg sinkers, sponge dipped in herring, an' some marshmallows to hold it up off the bottom, and I'll show you the meaning of samen fishing. You'll need a winch on yur 79' pickup to drag the ****ed stringer up the hill. An while yur at it put yur mom's freezer in da back cuz when I'm done ropin' em the season will be over. I was samen champion of Camp Koho (elk Crick) for 76' 78' 79' an' 80', so you'de better bring your A game... and I don't mean this silly BS you'rte talkin' on here. You young bucks will never learn, just keep spendin' money. Check out Fishing Facts Mag from Oct. 86' an you'll get an idea.

Hey wait i haven't seen anyone catching samen anymore   steelhead yeah. I have seen a coho every now and then so going to be kinda hard to show me how to catch samen with herring oil and a sponge lol .

I member da first time I met ol mercer. It was in the early 80's, I was 5yrs old an he had to be bout 35. I asked him wat he was catchin his samen on and he screamed "here now you know you little as_ h_le!" as he threw his bucket at me. Fireballs,snaggin hooks,cheese balls, and marshmellows went flying everywhere. Da second time I ran into him he was tanked up, staggering out of the bar by the Girald Dinor. My dad and I bought him a Eman samich an ever since then he shows us how to catch those samen. Thanx Roy

Yeah that was me. Samen in the fall sounds great,can't wait. I still got the redball hipboots you gave me.

Yeah, he means SAmen
