Lewtham Engineering Leeds 5.5" Centrepin Reel - Classic River Trotting Reel
Traditional Engineering for Long-Distance Trotting The Lewtham Engineering Leeds centrepin is a functional, no-nonsense tool designed for the river specialist. This 5.5-inch model is preferred by anglers who require a larger diameter drum, which provides a significant advantage when trotting at distance.
Key Features & Functional Benefits:
-
Large 5.5" Diameter: The oversized drum allows for a much faster line retrieval rate than standard 4" or 4.5" reels, making it more efficient when winding in from long trots.
-
Smooth Rotation: This reel spins freely and consistently, ensuring that even light floats can pull line from the drum without resistance or "hunting."
-
Simple Construction: Built with the "proper old school" philosophy of fewer moving parts, ensuring long-term reliability and easy maintenance.
-
Lightweight Alloy Build: Despite its size, the reel remains balanced on modern and traditional float rods alike.
-
Spool Control: The wide rim allows for precise thumb-pressure braking, giving you total control when playing hard-fighting fish in heavy currents.
Whether you are targeting winter grayling and roach or summer chub and barbel, the Leeds 5.5" provides the mechanical simplicity and performance required for consistent results on the bank.
Condition: Excellent working order with a smooth, free-spinning action.
