Centre Pins and the Wallis Cast
Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2013 6:13 pm
Hi everyone, my name is Alistair Spencer. I am a very keen angler and have cut my teeth using a pin. I was taught by a local legend, who, in his self is a angling great. I'm very much still learning my trade (fishing) but I am reasonable adept at using a pin and wallis casting.
I have conducted various demonstrations and tuition sessions at many shows etc for a very well know reel manufacturer. I have managed to teach people to wallis cast is only 20 minutes!
I am based in Hampshire but travel regularly around the country for fishing.
I am here to help, should anyone need any kind of tips, help or have any questions then please just ask.
From types of pin, oil, line, float fishing and ledgering.. etc...just ask!
If anyone wishes to have a little lesson or wants a day on the Itchen then again, just ask.
I have a few information sheets that show some basic rigs and tips etc suitable for beginners/intermediate pin users.
MY REASONS FOR THESE SERVICES ARE PURLY INNOCENT. Im am not here to make money (a free days fishing perhaps). My reasons for wanting to help you guys are;-
1 Centre Pins are best!
2 Its a beautifully tactile, skilful, and such "pure' way to fish. I want to open people eyes to how amazing it is!
3 I actually find it easier to fish with a pin, I know for a fact that there are some swims with trees bushes etc that are IMPOSSIBLE to fish with a fixed spool...not with a 'pin
4 People say you cant cast the same distances with a 'pin...maybe not... but I can cast over to the other side of the Avon and Stour at wide parts...
Basically learn the art of the WALLIS CAST and it will not only enhance your ability to catch fish, but it will enrich the process of fishing.
