best baitcasting reels for catfish Heavyweight Championship Reel | Catfishing Reel spooled with approximately 183 yards of premium 20 pound fishing line Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Best Catfish

I love a good spinning reel, but I greatly prefer baitcasting reels and rods for salmon fishing, especially for certain methods like trolling, back trolling, and back bouncing for salmon

But does not blow me away, especially at the price point

It would help if you also considered purchasing a baitcast reel designed for multiple tasks rather than a model made for special duties such as deep cranking or high-speed retrieves

They also cast heavier lures better

Here the action will be performed by the rod and we need a reel with a high ratio to allow us to retrieve the lure with great speed

Ive lost way too many, so I keep spares handy
