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.

$50 for the rod. THE KNOTS I USE ARE TOTALLY UNBREAKABLE. I can hang 100 pounds from the hook on the bottom. this is a good knot 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 have a pro angler reel that is bigger but it is broken. will not retreive unless you jerk with it. 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
