I think I've seen them on ebay, but didn't know anything about them so moved along
Thanks

thats a nice looking reel.....mine doesn't spin that long at double the price,unless it just some editing done

Like Robb Marquette said, "spool on a pin..."
There are some very decent pins out there for sub $200...all CNC anyway. I picked up a TFG for $75 and spins well and looks good too. Always good for a backup reel in any event.

Nothing the "Imperial Troops" would ever deign to be seen with on the water though...

:lol: Nice to have you back Razz Mazter

looks decent, im sure it could give the aventa or sheffield a good run for the money. I wonder why none of the retailers carry it.

probably because its a UK reel, retailers will usually only carry recognizable names

Well said ! +1

Thanks J. I was about to spend my life savings on gear. :razz:

+1 this.But I guess that would be a good starter if someone really wants to try centerpin fishing...price wise. I stick to what I'm comfortable using. And still loving the rip of my drag.

some people buy gear because they want the prestige of fishing with the best,and i'll admit, i bought a high end rod, but other than that i buy stuff that functions. after all, our parents an grandparents got along just fine without it

but yea, if that reel spins the way the guy says it does, its a great buy

"spin"... whatever​

​

Still a matter of startup inertia that is most critical​

all a matter of symantics....meaning if it 'spins' for the 4 minutes like it says in the video, then there can't be a whole lot of resistance on the bearing, then one can assume the 'startup inertia' will be much less

Ya thats it Jmatt. When I did a spin test on my imperial it was something like 7 min 30 seconds. Of that maybe three minutes was spinning fast and the last 4.5 minutes it was moving at a snails pace. The only way it could spin that slowly for that long is with perfect tolerances and top quality bearings which are the same features that determine start up. I stopped catching fish after I got a quality reel so naturally I had to get rid of the bad luck charm lol.

Different nonetheless...startup inertia is different from rotational inertia or otherwise known as the moment of inertia


For what it's worth

which reels have great start up inertia? that is why i wanted a new cp in the first place.

Actually they are the same. A big inertia will make it hard to stop as well as hard to start, so the spin time once the reel is going will be longer. So claims of long spin times need to be weighed against what it'll cost you in 'start-up inertia'.

 

[fishermandan420]

i would give up spin time for start-up 10 times out of 10. spin time on a pin means didley squat ( unless its like 5 seconds). a spooled reel should start up by just gently blowing on the handles
