Amundson Proto Type Center Pin Reel

Centerpin reels enable a drag-free drift and a genuine presentation of bait or lures in moving water. The reel’s free-spinning spool, which allows the line to unwind smoothly, ensures the bait behaves naturally in its environment.

The center pin reel return rate is 1:1, challenging the angler to fight the fish on even terms.

A learning curve can build up as you try to master the casting of a center pin, and frustration can set in. Casting techniques are explained by the angler swinging the rod smoothly, allowing the reel to free spin as the cast begins, letting the weight and float do the work. Adding friction to the rim of the reel with the last fingers leads to a controlled release. When fighting the fish, the angler must calculate the friction required by palming the reel and feeling for drag resistance.

Pro tip: Ensure the line is wound evenly and not overloaded on the spool.

Prototype testing is vital in product design and development, allowing Amundson Outdoors designers and developers to confirm their ideas before large-scale manufacturing. Their pro staff experience research technique assesses a functioning model or prototype of a product to evaluate its functionality, design, and overall user experience.

After testing the reel for two years with spring salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead, it has proven its durability, casting ease, and smooth operation.

Amundson is dedicated to providing unmatched value to its customers by delivering high-quality products with engineered performance at a competitive price.
