wow centerpin wouldnt of thought it. Never used one. Dumb question do they have anti-reverse. Just seen some Shimanno 8010s on the bay. Any thoughts guys...? My old 4000 GTs have never let me down and ive used them a lot since they first came out. The new Shimms feel awful. No doubt now made in china with vastly inferior parts. I like the idea of a centerpin but its going to limit casting on some of my favourite swims ( 40 yds of snagy swim free margins..)

Hi All I'm getting an ESP 10ft 3lb Stalker for margin \ snag fishing. They feel like great rods I guess max casting range will be 30 yds. I need some ideas for a reel to team it with I don't want anything too big that will unbalance the rod. Also don't want to spend too much, I'm not tight but I'm not spending £200 for a reel when the rod cost 50 ! This rig isn't my primary casting set up but will be a hit and hold affair.. Anyone out there use Scopes or similar ??
