Die-casting is a classic method of ensuring your reel offers the kind of rigidity you require but this isn’t the only classic element of the reel. In a dark grey with a perforated frame, this reel is traditional in appearance too and will sit perfectly on any fly fishing rod.

At 110mm in diameter this reel can hold a respectable amount of line and is most definitely considered among the family of large arbour reels. Fly reels with a large arbour are very much in vogue for the modern angler and they boast a significant number of benefits – not least their increased cast and retrieve ability. The Ron Thompson Centrepin has been fitted with a one-way ratchet drag. This ensures that this reel is smooth performing, whilst also providing the traditional clicking of the spool that traditional anglers love. This allows you to fish with a smooth free spool and ensures that you’re instantly notified of any line action due to the classic clicking of the drag at work.

If you’re looking for a quality reel for all manner of centrepin fishing, but you don’t want to break the bank, then this is the reel for you.
