If you are saying, that it should not be posted on here, please speak up, and I will get it removed, along with any other you disapprove of.

I have been using TF Gear centre pins on my MkiV's for years now. Fantastic ! Do some "frown" ? Probably ! Do I care. ? No ! Rod. Enjoy it ! It's a great reel.

How does it compare to the Sheffield?? For trotting etc.?? Is the Kennet for heavier lines??
