Decided to fish the local pond to verify if there were still fish lurking in it. In the past, the pond held some nice size Catfish. I suspect there may still be a Bruiser or two but this round I managed three good sized Bullheads.
I used the NGT Centerpin Reel and a Cabelas TLR Switch Rod for the rod/reel combo, and then I used bread formed into bread balls for bait.
The drag free capability of the Centerpin made for some interesting strikes as I watched the fish take the bait and run with it.
Overall, I am excited to add this fishing technique to my fishing arsenal! Do give it a try. No need to spend lots on the reel... if you can get the NGT before stocks run out. The reels is shipped from England and takes a few weeks to deliver, so do plan accordingly!
