HOW TO CAST A CENTER PIN REEL ( 4 Different Ways! )

Really hope this helps guys. Some little tips can make a huge difference! Don’t give up on the center pin! Super fun way to catch Great Lakes Steelhead! Hope y’all are blessed!

[@OutpourOutdoors]

When I use the word inertia in the video I mean momentum. I choose the wrong word but I hope it still helps and you all get the point haha 😂 tightlines friends! Blessings!

[@somerando8941]

Momentum’s a type of inertia, so you’re all good man!

Best video out there on center pin casting. Thanks!

[@spencer3483]

Thanks man..great video…love from the U.K.🇬🇧

[@DaleThomas15.2]

Thank you, having tried and failed the Wallace cast several times. I’ve finally got it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@drasticheadcase1021]

That last one is called the Nottingham cast in England. There’s also a cast where you hold the hook line and pull creating a bend in the rod so when you let go it flicks the line out. Great vid by the way. Really instructive.

[@jamiearnoldw2gpr655]

I have been a guide for 20 years and you did a great job explaining this process. Well done!! If you ever make it to NY and want to fish the Salmon River I have a seat in my drift boat for you for a day for nothing.

Hi Fisherman, you are a great guy and you explain everything wonderfully. I've been fishing with Centerpin for about a year here in the Czech Republic, it's not common and there are few goods (reels) I train, fishing with CenterPin, it's fun. You gave me new information, and for that God bless you and your family. Eric from the Czech Republic

[@OutpourOutdoors]

You’re encouraging words mean the world brother! Keep living the dream my friend!

[@905bigjuan]

Great video man! Just bought same centerpin. New, trying out Centerpin for first time. Helping tremendously! Thank you for the great video. God bless

[@user-dg2wt5ws1e]

Hey bro god bless. Really enjoy your cpin vids I recently started to centerpin and ofc the hardest part of pinning is the cast. This video really helped me especially the no name cast which is all I really need cus my lake Ontario tribes are no more than 30 ft across.. But FYI I found a another video long after learning the no name cast here. It actually has a name it is called the single loop cast and if you do it from the second eye it's called the double loop cast.. Hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas.. Happy pinning bro thanks for a great channel all the best...

[@tomcairns4223]

[@brianmacelroy636]

Great way of explaining Enjoyed your style thanks

[@michaelkolanda8712]

I'm pretty sure that I remember that one cast being called a double loop cast. Glad to see a good informative video on multiple different casts. Just like anything in life it all takes practice and time and eventually most people can get the wallis cast. It took me the better part of a year when I first started fly fishing to really get my casts dialed in correctly and the wallis cast took me a few hours to where I feel comfortable with it, but I still go back to the side cast when I really need some distance.

[@OutpourOutdoors]

DUDE YES!!!!! I knew it had a name 😂😂 yeah everything takes time. Thanks for stopping buy brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽 tight lines

Great video! Trying to teach my girlfriend to cast a centerpin, this video came at the perfect time! Cheers!

[@jerrywtt]

Thanks for the great video. Just got a centerpin this fall. Already caught probably 100 rainbows and grayling. Can’t wait to get it on some salmon next year. I live in Alaska and grew up river fishing I can’t believe I didn’t learn about center pinning until this year. I went out the other day I saw several people skunk With high end fly gear. I caught over 50.

[@turtletruth]

Center pins were a great invention for longer rivers!

[@grimskull416]

Great video explaination and demonstration! My first time trying to do a Wallace cast was horrible. Bird nested constantly and I only managed to do it right maybe 1 out of 6 times in the end lol. I knew I could check the videos on KZbin but I was stubborn to learn on my own. But now that if I watched this video I know I would've saved a lot of time lol

[@OutpourOutdoors]

Means a lot brother thanks for stopping by and taking the time to watch. Yeah my hope for this video is to help someone get it a bit faster. I too wish I had these tips haha I just had to struggle for a bit haha 😂

[@woodlandbiker]

With the Wallis cast if hold the weight between two fingers creating tension to the rod tip and release when you swing out you get an even better cast and the correct way to Wallis cast. I usually use a tiny shot about 4" from the hook to hold rather than the bulk shot. Blessings from the river itchin in the UK. Nice to see younger guys keeping the old ways alive.

[@FishOnJon95]

Just bought one today.. awesome video

[@user-fv7mw5nv6f]

Thanks buddy great tips..

[@billnurse5321]

Thanks, it is fun centerpin fishing. I started with a cheap reel at first and when I got a better one it did make a difference on my cast , and I also found different line called sunline fine float 2 p lon line it doesn't have much memory if any at all super silky smooth, and it is great when it's cold out.

[@OutpourOutdoors]

Yeah man I’ve seen that stuff pin the store but never tried it I’m gonna have to get it next time. Thank for always stopping by man. Means a lot 🥲 hope your having a good season man! Lots of fish to be had! Everything by me is blown out. That’s why I made this video haha I couldn’t really fish so I figured I’d make a video about casting and enjoy the outdoors

[@jasonyang6411]

Literally was watching your vid while out on the water. Birds nested alot but finally got the hang of it and caught my first steelie on the centerpin. Thank you and keep up the vids!

[@nickmeingast9557]

How long did it take you to get comfortable casting? Just ordered my first center pin

[@jasonyang6411]

I'd say two fishing trips in and i started to get into the hang of it. My first trip, i was able to wallace cast it like 10ft in front of me. Each trip after you learn how to cast farther.

[@boikman]

Hey man, I really enjoyed the video! I got a centerpin that I've been trying to learn and as far as I know NO other video mentions to let the reel start free spinning before you pull the line to do the Wallis Cast and now that you taught me I've been getting better. Before I saw this I was just BC casting so I couldnt really effectively fish any of my floats much lighter than 7-8g

[@OutpourOutdoors]

Man! Warms my heart! So glad it helped brother! Tight lines!

[@terrydsoulman]

in the UK we call that cast #4 the TRENTCAST..as used mainly on the midlands river trent

[@5ive1ne9ine]

Thanks for doing this, I have been float fishing with centerpin for a few years, but yet I often default to side cast and get irate with the line twist. I will have to get out into a field and just practice these more the Wallace and BC look the most simple. BC for the fact you can really chuck it out. I also see guys doing like a modified over hand Wallace cast as well instead from the side. If I can reduce ALL line twist, this will help. Again, thanks very much for doing this!

[@OutpourOutdoors]

Man so awesome comment like this is why I make this videos man. Yeah the line twist drove me insane!! Especially at the colder times of the year but man I really love both cast! The bc cast is sooooo effective and if you use like an 11gram float it’s really easy to chuck it out as far as you need. The key is letting the line get going before you swing it out. That momentum is key. Thanks for stopping by brother.

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

I am in like my 3rd year with a Centerpin and I side cast, this year is my first really successful year with Chinkook. Did have line twist but it never seemed to affect my ability to hook play and land fish. Started with that same reel you have but upgraded to a very cool and simply amazing reel, a bit over the top but the only pin I will ever need. Purchased a BER reel from Ontario Canada it was freaking amazing to use.

@@chucksgmgarage1116 yeah man all about the timing usually let my line drop till it almost hits the ground then I swing it out. Try that man I know it will help. Let me know how it goes brother

[@avianfish8732]

Great vid thanks D

[@welch8341]

I say we should call that "unnamed cast" the "dual-pinch" or "dual-pinch-pitch". I say that because in Bass fishing, grabbing, or pinching, the line in one location and throwing out is called a pitch. .. so in my mind, grabbing the main line in two places/ locations & throwing out (casting) calls for the title "dual-pinch" or "dual-pinch pitch/cast". Great video dude, you have one of the best attitudes of any salmonid fisherman on KZbin that I have seen thus far. I hope you like the cast name idea! Don't be hesitant to name cast yourself! .. Don't be narcissistic and name the cast after yourself though, lol. We 21st century humans can be more creative than that!! Tight lines. - Ryan W.

[@gilbertritter2613]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the centerpin Fishing I really enjoy it as I am planning to buy a rod and center pin reel. Could you give me an advice what type of rod to buy in what length and where. I am from Holland and I always in Oregon for fishing when I stay with family, thank you very much.

[@Mikeblouir]

[@krisbower8345]

Nice video m8, what setup you using there? Rod and reel?

[@StormRidersFishing]

I just got out with my new centerpin combo today learning to cast. This video definitely helped the learning curve. As pinning isn’t like fly fishing, casting a spinning rod nor a baitcaster. I can tell I’m going to have a good time trout fishing this spring. Can you recommend float type and weight for trout? It seems like everyone likes different types of floats.

[@OutpourOutdoors]

So awesome brother thank you for stopping by the channel. So glad to hear it helped. Your float size all depends on the water fishing. Keep in mind if the waters really clear fish might spook from the float. Also keep in mind the bigger the float the easier it’s going to be the cast. So for a new person I usually recommend 11 g usually can’t go wrong with an 11 gram float! Brand is completely up to you I like the blood run floats also the raven floats. Had some videos floating around the channel explaining all that stuff if you want to go searching for that. Hope that helps Man tightlines

[@tonyrutherford1848]

I want to learn this type of fishing, my cousin has been pushing me to get a pole but it seems to complicated, but this video gives me some hope to want to get a center pin and learn. What would be ideal pole to purches height wise. I live in the PNW. Thanks for the content you have new follower

[@centrepin_ru]

Thats cool, what do you think about new bait-cast centerpin Redband 45?

[@mistermoonster]

Hi, good video. For your info, the fourth cast in your video is called a Nottingham cast. There is a 'winding in' technique that you may find useful called 'batting'. It's where you spin the spool, to retrieve line, using the palm of your left hand to slap on the underside of the reel. It's faster than cranking when you are just retrieving your tackle.

[@OutpourOutdoors]

Thanks for the kind words and pointers. Thanks for stopping by the channel ☺️

[@mistermoonster]

Those Okuma are nice reels aren't they. I have three VT1002's fitted to 10'/1.5lb tc specimen rods that I use for legering for species like barbel & chub (a feeder mounted bolt rig style on a leadcore leader with a 12"-48" hook length depending on situation. Rod tips high to minimise line drag). I've not seen videos of people legering with pins in the US, but it's fairly common here in the UK. Trout & Salmon are considered game fish here and generally fished for on traditional fly tackle and involve a separate licence and permissions. The coarse fish species we tend to use centrepins for range from silvers like roach/dace etc up through barbel & chub then up to larger species like carp. Centrepins are used mainly on rivers & streams but some of us enjoy using them on stillwaters too, especially for specimen fish. I use a couple of JW Young reels for trotting floats in rivers as they have very lightweight spools which allow lighter tackle to draw line easily. I'm not sure if they are available in the US but worth checking out if they are.

[@mikedorchak1623]

Just getting into center pins what do you use for your reel wrap or to hold your reel stops tight

[@roberttucker5803]

Very well explained and demonstrated...I'm just getting into center pinning at 62 and it is more than challenge for me but I'm going to keep at. Does being left handed change the dynamics of loading line onto my reel? I have the same reel that you are using.
