Hi guys, last year I picked up an old Daiwa 4000C (silver series?) spinning reel from a guy at the flea market. I got it cheap 'cuz it was broken, but Im looking at it again after fixing it with jb weld. Im pretty sure this was a saltwater reel, but I'd like to rig it up for catfishing (or fishing for other big freshwater fish). Im on a tight budget though, so Im open to suggestions on line weight and rod compatibility
I will find you, and I will catch you

update Im looking at pairing it to an Ugly Stick 7' heavy catfishing spinning rod still debating on line though *note: I fish from shore mostly, so Im not gonna go with super high strength stuff, probably 20-35lb test

I have a real old Ryobi saltwater reel that looks like a close relative of your Daiwa. Good luck!
