So you think I need a bigger reel g love? I figured it was a good match. I have another set up a all silver 5500 C3 and a ugly stick catfish rod it has caught 2 fish a 25 and a 35 and did good. I have a pro angler reel that is bigger but it is broken. will not retreive unless you jerk with it.

You might have some trouble there. That line is pretty roughed up. That rod/reel combo will do fine for catfishing though.

It looks like you burnt the end of the line with a lighter.a

Why heat your line? A knot on the end is much safer. Heat will weaken the line. You may think your only getting the end but it looks like you got more. Just my opinion

I just like to match my rod and reel is all. If I have a MH meat stick (medium heavy differs from diff rods) I just like to match a reel to it. I'd have at least a 6500 or better. But I'm kinda anal about my gear looking right.

I would like to catch a fish that could bust that line on those knots but they are pretty heavy duty. I get hug up and the boat just stops
