  You could also go with a cork float. They have great sensitivity and have that added weight for casting. They are also great to use as it would just look like a stick to the fish  ;D

But then you're reeling in that weight all the time  :P

Are there any centerpin reels that have a break that can bring the spool to a complete stop?

So far I haven't seen any.
Seems like a logical thing to have on a free spooling reel.

Then it wouldn't be a real center pin . Part of the skill is to control the  free spinning reel with skill and finesse . If it was easy then it wouldn't be a challenge. Grasshoppa must learn to be the master of the pin .  Allow the force to be with you . Be one with the reel ................................ :D

Yes, but when you are bushwacking and preparing for transport it would be a hell of a lot easier.
The brake wouldn't interfere with the fishing part

I think your talking about setting the clicker . Which is important to stop the fee spool when not fishing . Of course the sound when a steely is on the run too. I don't know a center pin that doesn't have a  some sort of clicker setting. In some photos I have seen somebody use a elastic around the rod then stretch to the handle to stop free spooling . I suspect its cause the clicker no longer engages .

I don't mean the drag (clicker), I mean a full stop break. Even the clicker on my reel doesn't really hold the line and every time I snag a tree some line gets out.
It would really help with transport.
The drag is really a drag.
It doesn't quite work perfectly for transport and it's annoying when some people turn it on when they have a fish on.

Just get yourself a neoprene reel cover. Put it on the reel when your not fishing and the problem is solved.
