Hey all,
Been reading a lot of great discussions on this page and thought I would throw out a few questions for my first post. I really started getting into catfishing about five or so years ago and after buying cheap gear the past couple years I am finally ready to step up my game and buy some good quality gear for my new obsession. I will be targeting Flatheads mostly, but occasionally will be fishing for channels. Below is what I am considering buying, but am not married too. Would love any advice you all could give!
Reel: Abu Garcia 6600C4 - Always liked the push button line release like this one has, but heard with the high gear ratio you lose overall cranking power. Anyone use these for catching large cats?
Tangling with Catfish Extreme Medium Heavy - I want something that has the backbone to pull in a large flatty, but not something that is too stiff where catching channel's feels like pulling in baitfish.
Again, any advice is much appreciated. Looking forward to your replies!
Thanks!
