I just got a passed down Penn 60 reel (from a long departed uncle). I know its primarily a salt water reel but I don't live anywhere near the beach (DFW). It is clean and has been stored well so I'm looking at making it a catfish combo. Any suggestions for a dedicated big cat setup using this reel? Primary fishing will be from a boat. Thanks for looking!

I'd put it on an 8' MH MeatHunter Rod, spool it with 20lb Suffix Elite mono, run 40/50 lb mono leaders.

you would need 2 miles of 20 lb to fill that reel!

I would spool it with 30 and stick it on a proangler.
