You'll be VERY hardpressed to find a good setup cheap. A centerpin usually has no brakes, it's full of ball bearings so it'll spin QUITE NICELY. But, they can give you one hellacious backlash if you don't control it. They look similar to a spey rod, but they are different. The cast is somewhat similar, but not exactly. They are just a different type of drift type rod (great especially with floats). I've used them up in BC. Just takes practice. I know JW Young and Hardy have some centerpins. The JW Young being cheaper. But a good centerpin reel should spin freely with the slightest of pressure.
