What fish can you catch with a centerpin rod?
What is a centerpin rod used for?
A centerpin rod is a long, soft float fishing rod paired with a free-spool centerpin reel for trotting bait down a river.
How is a centerpin rod different from similar gear?

What problems does a centerpin rod solve?
It lets a float run a long seam without the drag of a spinning reel fighting the drift.
