Hunter Swoope

Hunter Swoope, age 17, has a true loving and caring passion for the great outdoors. Hunter's favorite time of year for steelhead is late fall and early spring with his centerpin. He also likes to get browns in the late fall. Hunter ties his own jigs and sacs for steelhead and browns.

Hunter's advice: "What I like about the pin is that it's stealthy and there is no drag. It can take some time to learn, but there are many ways to learn, including asking other fishermen for advice, studying videos on YouTube or going to centerpin shops.
