Default Centrepin, Trotting, River fishing instruction.
I'm a believer that you can learn in minutes what could take you years to find out.

Does anyone know an instructor that can improve my pin casting with some river fishing tips thrown in also?

Based in South London.

Thanks

Question Centre Pin ID please
Evening Gents, I'd really appreciate some help identifying this centre pin that belongs to my father. Unfortunately most of the paint has come off the backplate and the makers name was in the depressed circle where most of the paint is retained. The spool diameter is 4.375" and the reel is circa 50 years old. It spins well, a decent bat has it revolving for about 25 seconds.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Regards,
Dave.

Looks like a Grice & Youngs Avon Royal Supreme III to me.
