New Pin Reel ?

I just purchased my first centerpin setup, most people that I have talked to have said you can't go wrong with an Okuma.  I was between this reel you linked and the Okuma Sheffield s-1002 and ultimately went with the Sheffield only because it was $50 cheaper where I bought my setup.  So far my reel has really impressed me.  I wish i could help out more with line choice, my reel was spooled with 10lb mono... I should have went with 8.  The 10 has very little memory but is overkill for erie steelhead, but is overall great for salmon in NY.  

I remember the guy putting on Sufix Mono, but I'm not 100% sure that exactly it was as there is a few mono's from Sufix.  Here is a decent website specifically for centerpinning and is fairly priced.  What are you going to be targeting with the centerpin? Trout, steelhead, salmon? I wasnt completely convinced that because of the length of the rod 13+ in most cases that you can easily fish with very light main line.  As I said earlier I have recently purchased my pin and have caught both kings and steelhead and it wasn't even a battle pulling them in (nice when the crowds are near you tho)  After this season im going to put on 6lb mono for all around. Trout, steelhead, and some technique for the kings. Also, each outing i pull out roughly 10yds of line and cut off to start fresh as you will see from bouncing on rocks etc some of the line gets frayed.

IM not a Pinner, but braid floats and has no memory. Why not stick with that? Isn't there Siglon f or something? A pin specific hi vis braid?

Deetz the biggest issue you'll have will be line twist not so much memory issues. I ran 12 pound raven but may end up trying another line for spring. I will let you know in a few days what I order and I'll get enough if you want to try it.

 
I hate line twist

Thanx , Im going to need all the help I can get

deetz, If you are worried about twist you should probably run a two swivel setup. As a matter of fact I still run this setup and I have been fishing a pin for over ten years.
 
Here is how it is setup:  (12lb mainline)-------------0~0(8lb. Maxima shotline/floatline)--------------0~0(tippet)-------------bait(hook)    Note:0~0 = swivel
 
This dual swivel virtually takes all the line twist away. Also on a snag only your tippet will break.
 
I also prefer a hi vis line as it is easier to see the line on a long drift and aids in visual mending. Sometimes you actually don't need to mend as your line is following perfectly. Nothing worse than throwing an un-needed mend and taking yourself out of a perfect drift. Plus as you become older everybodies vision is somewhat diminished.
 
I also prefer a heavier mainline like 12 lb. It is way easier to untagle the loops that you will encounter. I even use 14 lb. for my Niagara reel and for Salmon fishing. Plus a heavier mainline should never break which would result in you losing your float with the rest of your rig. I probably only lose a couple of floats a year...trees.
 
I am currently running Siglon orange hi-vis, but have also ran the orange Suffix Seige. Hope this helps.
 
BTW did you win that CTS at the pin outing? If so I was there and wish I would have won it.

here is what I got , sorry the pic is a tad blurry.
Im pleased with how it looks and she spins like a top. All spooled up , ready for drifting. I just need a good day to go practice casting this thing.
 
Okuma Raw II - 1002
 

I found this very in-structural video on the wallis cast.
