I can see where a center pin reel could be a gas to use/fish with, etc. BUT why not use the long rod with a light level wind casting reel? You can 'free spool' these and they don't cost several hundred dollars for a 'good one.'

Well sure you can freespool these, but centerpin reels are always in freespool. Fred, you flyfish, right? It's like someone saying "why don't you fly fish on a baitcaster with a bobber?".

I personally am not into the centerpin reels and my canadian fishing buddy from the GL area has been spooled and broken off too many times in front of me for me to ever use it on any river that doesn't have room to play a fish without risk of running into a logjam.

However at one time I did seriously consider buying a setup. I am always interested in trying new ways of catching steelhead and would try it if a fishing buddy had an extra setup and knew a river ideal for it.
