WTB: Centerpin Reel
« on: October 05, 2015, 06:38:37 PM »

Looking to buy a centerpin reel. Also wondering if I should just use my 10'7 8wt switch rod to reduce the amount of gear I have to carry out on the water but have been hearing mixed reviews about that setup. Some say it's fine and others are saying the mono of the CP will ruin the guides of my rod. Looking to spend around 2-300$ depending on the brand or a bit less if I have to buy a whole new rod. Any input on the Switch setup and offers would be great. Tight lines!

As far as I know my buddy has his Islander Steelheader on Craigslist right now for $320.... It's in excellent shape. Freshly spooled with new line.

I have a 10 foot trophy custom centerpin rod that I think I fished once if at all. I got it as a warranty exchange but it took so long so I ended up buying another rod in the meantime. It's a great rod for coho and steelhead, nice and light and rated 8-15 lb (Trophy 5100C). Retails for $100 yours for $70 obo.
