Kingpin 4 7/8" Center Pin Reels
Designed and manufactured in the UK, Kingpin Center Pin Reels offer the highest performance of any Centre Pin reel currently available to anglers today. In comparison tests carried out by one of the UK’s most authoritative angling publications, Kingpin reels achieved the longest free spin time while maintaining "incredible" sensitivity and startup.
The Kingpin’s bearing assembly is sealed to prevent the ingress of any dirt, and removes the need for regular cleaning. The smooth, positive ratchet (in easy finger reach), is neatly rounded to avoid line tangle. The tight tolerance between the back plate and spool ensures that the line cannot become trapped, and the precision spool helps to ensure precise, direct control of the float.
Kingpin Reels are precisely machined to the highest tolerance from high quality anodized aluminum and solid brass components, with high precision, oiled stainless steel ABEC 5 bearings. The reels precision-ground stainless steel bearing shaft (Center Pin) – the heart of every Kingpin – is machined and assembled to exacting tolerances, and is the secret of its effortless, free-spinning performance. The heavy duty lever-operated ratchet mechanism is fully sealed, and the complete spool assembly can be removed for cleaning.
