The benefit of an open or closed face fixed spool over a centrepin are all about versatility - you can use them in less flow, you can cast a lot further and you can fish wagglers which would be pulled under by the drag from a 'pin.

I've not done much grayling fishing but I can imagine that quite a few shallow venues would be much more suited to the waggler than any sort of top and bottom float.

PS. There's a Titan 2000 13 footer on eBay right now, which was my stick float rod of choice, 12 footer for waggler.
