Has anyone had any success with a shorter rod with a centerpin reel, going to going with some guys boat fishing on a lake and thought it would be fun to bring along, and have it on a 6.8 foot rod. Is it doable? Been practicing and can only cast like 20 feet. Im not very experienced so could just be me not being a very good caster or is that what i should i expect?
new to Centerpin fishing, truthfully was gonna use it for panfishing in the lakes near me just for fun. Wanted to use braided line, but im wondering on the correct kind of line to use and how to, no i need a backing of like 20lb mono so it doesn’t slip and than 275 yards or so of main line braid with a leader. But what lb test braid mainline? I was going to do 8lb since it is for panfishing, but after doing some research it sounds that would be too fine of a line and it would be a mess, do i need like 20lb- 30lb braid so it would be the equivalent of 8lb mono? Thank you for the help!
