As we all fish many different ways , and have our own preferences in name brands and so forth. What Style of Reel Do you use for Catfishing?

Me , I am a Huge Abu garcia Baitcaster fan.

Spinning for me

Shimano and Okuma spinning reels. The bait feeder feature is a must. I use the heavier spinning reals and load them with 20 lb mono or 50 lb braid. I never use heavier diameter line than the reel is rated for.

I sold all my gear and narrowed everyhting ( Carp , Catfish ) Down to two 7' img Graphite Diawa Rods , One with my Abu 6000 and One with my Shakespeare skp2000C . Nice channel cat / Carp combo's. Since I fish 90% paylakes , they work really well.

I havetwo(2) favorites one is a Penn 209 with 20# Saltwater line and a 7 ft catfish rod.sec is ABU6000 with 30#Saltwater line and a 7 ft Catfish rod.Of the two I like The 6000 the best.Casts better and a lot less birdsnests.

I have my abu baitcasters for my hard core cat fishing spooled with 65lb power pro or better. But for smaller cats.....I'll use my mitchell bait runner. This is a pretty slick spinning reel that has a audible signal as well as a little red light that goes off when you have a bite.

after a season without my baitcasters , I quickly went back to them. In august I was fishing ten mile creek in p.a. And had on one of the largest flaheads I have ever had on , I managed to loose him do to bad line. My fishing buddie jimmy was there and watched in amazment as my med/hev Rod bent like it did.
