Why FISH With CT Pin
On the water....I find centerpin fishing is the most effective technique used to catch feeding river run species of trout. This strategy uses a large arbor centerpin reel combined with a 10'+ quality light action rod. The presentation uses a nymph, fly or bait under a balsa float that drifts through the strike zone. This method of fishing allows you to cover large areas of water successfully catching more and more trout, thus increasing your chance of hooking a trophy. Whether you are looking for a new type of fishing experience or are looking to hone in on your pinning skills, give CT Pin a spin.
