I am not sure how this video has not been seen 200,000 times by now?! An excellent video and the crew was really working and talking, explaining it in plain language. Amazing. Even 15 years after it was recorded, not much had changed…basic moves are the same and most of the gears are still very similar if not the same. Great educational material.👍 Thank you.
I'm embarrassed I have never seen this before. Awesome and informative video for any guy looking to get into pinning. I wish these Loomis rods had blanks, seats and hook keepers
Absolutely wonderful video. Extremely informative, fun and educational. It really helps people like me become better all around float fisherman and makes me want to practice more and more. Thanks for putting it on TH-cam .
that 13' Loomis float rod is awesome...I have 3 and all I use - caught a 32# buck on it on the Queets back in 2012 - I absolutely love these rods - I also use the Islander centerpin reel to
I have 2 Pin set ups my first is a TFO with a Okuma Aventa reel, my new go to is a BER pin with a 25lb drag and a Bloodrun Skein Cane HD rod. Last Tuesday on my first trip with my BER hooked 19 kings landed 10 released all but 4 to eat. The best pin in my opinion perfectl balanced could fish it all day.
dude that kenai guide is the only one that knows what hes talkin about, at 45 the loomis fella said the flesh flies were meant to imitate the bate uses on the kenai aka roe lol flesh flies imitate decomposing salmon. when people do tutorials on a fishery they dont even understand had me dyin. great video and that kenai guide knows his stuff! he drops some juicy morsels
As a long time float fisher from Ontario, I'm embarassed to listen to buddy in the the Loomis sweater. He is talking out of his starfish whenever his mouth opens, i had to stop watching at 45 mins
i know i’m late - if anyone sees this would not having any backing on the reel cause me more problems as far as casting, getting caught, and tangles? I started this season and learned pretty fast after joining the dark side i can cast pretty well too but it did take a few day trips to get comfortable with it.. my problem is about 2 out of 10 casts i am getting back spooled and i don’t know if it’s cause i did a sloppy job on spooling it and it’s not tight or if it’s cause i didn’t put any backing on it and so there’s a lot of space on the spool
Good ol boy from g loomis with the undercut racism lol "whats different from these reels than the ones from the orient" I forget how many racists live in the PNW.

I own this dvd and it taught me a ton about center pinning, so much so that I have landed chinook and chum salmon on a center pin.
That’s awesome to hear.
Love the STS Classics ,keep them coming!

Awesome job. Wish this was High Definition.
How do you like the g loomis centerpin rods don't know anyone who has one nice fishing day you guys killed it
Hello from Russia! Our center pin is not so popular, but thanks for the translation. Maybe you can make the center pin popular in our country
I build roads and this is one I want to try

6# test for steelhead. Sure, why not.
Highest I go is 8 and I rarely get broken off
The key is having a rod over 10 ft and a 10-15 lb test mainline
