| …how do I rig up for this? |

So, here we are on the verge of a Centerpin explosion in the Pacific Northwest. A lot of folks are intrigued and asking questions. Northwest Fisherman are quickly learning what our Northern neighbors in Canada have known for years! And that’s the efficiency and the effectiveness of using a centerpin rod & reel to catch steelhead. All you have to do is watch someone who is remotely experienced with the technique and you are left in awe. In my conversations with friends and clients, we’ve often mentioned that it should probably be illegal. In my opinion there’s no other technique that’s as deadly effective when it comes to bringing steelhead to hand. I’m sure there are a few side-drifters out there that would beg to differ, but when you put a float on the line…centerpinning is the champion – Hands Down!
