I have received a call from a friend who is selling the Fox Bob James Signature Centrepin, on behalf of Bob James himself. These are selling for the extraordinary price of just £140.00 plus £5.00 p&p, they normally retail at £299.00.
This is a genuine offer and my contact is a very close friend of Bob’s, so nothing underhand or dodgy here.
If you are interested, please email me for contact details. The reels will be provided with a certificate of authenticty and signed by Bob himself. He will also include any personal notes to the purchaser, if required.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to grab a fantastic bargain from a true angling legend.
Here’s a bit more detail on the reels in question:
Angling legend Bob James has been working with Fox’s team of in-house CAD-designers to engineer a centrepin that combines amazing performance with typically traditional good looks.
The Bob James Signature Centrepin was born, a reel that combines the latest engineering techniques, top quality materials and know-how from one of the UK’s best anglers to offer unrivalled performance.
There are only 1,000 of these reels in production, so make sure you get hold of a piece of history.
The reel works with two high quality, low friction bearings that produce super smooth performance. You can blow on the spool and watch it rotate indefinitely such is the amazing engineering! This means that when fishing the centrepin on a running water you can literally let the power of the water pull line from the reel, improving your rig presentation and ultimately leading to more fish in your net!
The handles are removable, it has an adjustable drag, quick release spool and a special no bump knot line fixing. It has a five inch lightweight, machined spool.
Key features include:
• 2 high quality, low friction bearings
• Removable handles
• Adjustable drag
• Quick release spool
• Lightweight machined aluminium backplate
• Lightweight machined aluminium 5” spool
• Fully vented spool and backplate
• Special no bump knot line fixing
• Gold laser etched graphics
• Neoprene storage pouch
• Individually numbered
• Fox authenticity certificate, signed and numbered by Bob James
These are £299.00 everywhere on the web so this is a real chance to own a genuine piece of centrepin history…

Hi Ryan, thanks for looking in. I take it you use it for steelhead? That must be tremendous fun. I have watched people fishing for them on TV a few times and oh boy do they fight!
I can’t help with the bearings issue myself but I know a man who can (well maybe). I’m seeing him on Wednesday and I’ll get him to look at my BJ pin. He regularly removes and cleans/replaces the bearings on pins, so I’m certain he can help. If you are OK to wait for a few days I’m sure we can help.
