I have a Shimano Triton G I use out in the gulf and was hoping to find a clicking reel suitable for fishing catfish in fresh water. So far I found one the ABU Garcia Ambassadeur Royal Express II Reel. Any suggestions?

Abu Garcia 6500C3. The proangler reel is also very nice.

I saw the Proangler reel last night at a pawn shop. They were trying to sell it for $100! I should go back and offer them $50

that shimano is a good reel for cattin' ... you din't say if you have the 100 or the 200 ... the 100 is about the same size as the abu 6000 & the 200 is about the same size as the 7000 ... i have a 200 on a long rod now for bank fishing but have had a couple of the 100's in the past ... usta talk to a james river bluecat guide that used these shimanos on his guide boat ... they are tuff reels but will not cast as well as an abu, but the abu's cost way more

also fished with a guide below the dam at livingston around 1998 & these shimano reels are all he used ... he could cast right up to the dam from his home made boat that had an upper deck casting platform

Zebco 33 has a good clicker! and is light weight

either the abu garcia 6500c3 or the shimano sienna 4000RD...which is an excellent choice as well.

Yes the triton is 200G and I need an ounce on there to get it to let the line out. With a good weight I can cast it over 200 foot lol. I think Im gonna go with the abu garcia 6400

Any abu garcia 6000 (i.e. 6600, 6500, 6000) will have the clicker. The 6600c4, and 6600c3 are my favorites.

dont offer 50 on a proangler reel used you can get them new from proangler for 55 i think

I had no idea what to call it but just got an update: LINE OUT ALARM... clicker for short. And I think I found something interesting: AMBASSADEUR 6500CP CATFISH PRO ROCKET CUSTOM I hope its ok Im gonna start a new thread

OK I found something thank you every one for the tips this is what I came up with.



Anybody have an old rod that will go good with this reel?

That would go nice on a 7.5 Pro Angler rod! Let me know if I can help!

+ 1 own three for now

Until I can get some more work Im lookin at a budget of about $20 on the pole... I saw a good one on craigslist but the crazy lady wanted $100 for 5 old poles she found in a closet that have been there for 20 years. I called and offered her $20 for one of them. I am expecting a call back if she cant sell them.

Go pick up a yellow tournament choice catfish rod at academy. 11.99. Decent rods dirt cheap.

I want to make it original old school with the rod at the top of this pic...
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT KIND OF ROD THAT IS? By the way these are for sale on craigslist for $100 I know that is too much.

the top 2 look like old spinning rods

That 6000c will outlast you if you take care of it . I wouldn't trade it for a new one.

I would not even pay 20 for those rods the top 2are spinning

I was lookin on CRAIGSLIST for that fishing pole I needed and I ended up biting off more than I could chew. I got 20 poles all with reels and 2 tackle boxes FULL. Somebody died and this was left over... The rod with the reflective tape is the only one I had until today...

I still cant believe it. I helped someone pay off their car title loan today and then I got lucky as hell.
I even built my own rod holder out of 9 fence pickets.

How much

The Clickety Clack 4000 ........available at finer baitshops everywhere......

I am now the proud owner of every clicky clack they ever made! Im sure everybody will think $120 is too much but thats how much I got them for in trade value.

Thats less than $10 a combo thats a sweet deal
