First Steelhead on the Centerpin Reel!

[@evane994]

I would recommend the cross body Wallis cast to start out

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Working on learning this - thanks for the tips! I found BC swing cast was the easiest to start out but need to learn the Wallis for when there’s less room behind me

[@truenorthangler]

Congrats on the first steelhead on the pin. Welcome to my world. Loved the video and the edits. Great day out there guys.

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Thank you!! Loving the pin so far

[@sasquatchcustomlures]

Sweet video. Pin fishing is awesome especially on the rocky.

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Thanks man! Can’t wait to get back our and land some more on the pin

[@sasquatchcustomlures]

@@ReelRomanFishing I’ll be heading up there today.

[@ReelRomanFishing]

@@sasquatchcustomlures Good luck! I'm hoping to get out this weekend

Great Videos! The pin is the way to go

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Definitely liking it so far! Just gotta get more natural with it and then I can see myself leaving all the spinning gear at home

[@purefishigan6331]

Look how do to the wallis cast with a centerpin

[@ReelRomanFishing]

That’s definitely the next thing I gotta learn! I like the BC swing and side cast because they’re easy, but I gotta work on my Wallis cast. Lots of birds nests so far lol

[@mireeladdiction620]

Yea work on your Wallis casting,not bad for your first time tho.Took me a few trips to get the hang of it and I love it.

[@thechamburgler3458]

Our local bait and tackle swears the steelhead make runs up the maumee, but I feel like a doof drifting salmon eggs down that river😂

[@ReelRomanFishing]

I live close to the Maumee and have heard the rumors... but I agree, I’d rather spend my time driving to better rivers than praying for a bite I’m not even sure exists haha

[@fishingtheohio7]

Its true they do run up the Maumee i cought one years ago

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Maybe try a bead if it’s a pressured area try to downsize your presentation I know rivers local to me where these fish see roe bags drift by them all day and nothing a single egg imitation is much more natural especially something like white or yellow or peach

[@ReelRomanFishing]

@@dylanmounsey7515 I gotta try this out! I haven't fished beads much in the past but I do want to start fishing them more. especially on the pin

[@dylanmounsey7515]

@@ReelRomanFishing some rivers that are super busy I find I can’t hook up with roe bags dude... only bead and the odd pink worm

[@bobowhite11]

Hey Roman is the water level still too high on the rocky to fish it? I I was planning on driving from Maumee tomorrow. Let me know if you have a second

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Replied on Fishbrain! I’m in Toledo area too so definitely understand wanting to time your drives up with good conditions

[@bobowhite11]

@@ReelRomanFishing no way! I thought you lived by the Rocky. Lets get together sometime and wet a line. I got my first Maumee River steelie about two weeks ago up at the dam, and just got my first centerpin so we can both learn together. Love what you are doing keep it coming. Thanks brother Roman! By the way... I work at Jim White Honda, feel free to call or email me anytime. [e-mail]

[@jz6602]

Nice ...good luck with new gear was it same setup as u. Normally use

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Pretty much! Using a heavier float (15g) while I get the hang of casting, but was using the crappie tube for this fish

[@jz6602]

@@ReelRomanFishing good times

[@brendanjones1378]

U ever fish for these guys with worms or top water or if that even legal...(I don’t live around these fish so idk😂)

[@fishingtheohio7]

They do eat real worms and pink worms (plastic) they will also take dry flies but couldn't manage one myself in this river

[@andrewsmith2437]

So weird this vid popped up on here for me I was to the left of you when you walked up threw in a cast and hooked up within two minutes lol. That was pretty cool especially how slow it’s been on the lower stretch of the river. Tight lines

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Hahaha that's awesome. Yeah it's definitely been slow, and packed with people. I was out this morning and only got one in 4 hours :/

[@brendanjones1378]

Just earned a new sub 🤩🤝

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Welcome man! Really appreciate it. Definitely let me know if you have any ideas for videos you’d wanna see

[@lindasmith1127]

Do you do any guide work

[@ReelRomanFishing]

I’m probably not good enough for that haha. But would be awesome sometime down the road

[@lindasmith1127]

Don't sell yourself short I learned more about watching three of your videos than I have in the last few months. Keep up the good work.

[@ReelRomanFishing]

@@lindasmith1127 That means a lot - so glad those videos are helping people out!

[@qussayali3401]

Hi..can you show us your setup please ..Thanks

[@ReelRomanFishing]

Definitely! I’m planning on making that video soon

[@MontageMadness]

Sick vid dawg my friend caught 2 there the other day

[@ReelRomanFishing]

There are definitely a lot in that spot now... just tough competing with all the minnows and shad
