How to Select the Proper Reel for Catfishing
There are a number of items that you need to consider when searching for the best catfishing reels at the right price. Having a proper reel is a critical component to your catfishing experience and will very much enhance your chances of success. Conversely, not having the appropriate reel will likely cause you to have a quite unfulfilling experience. As a word of caution, you may think that a reel, is a reel, is a reel; well, you couldn't be more wrong. Ignoring recommendations for the proper reel is inadvisable if you are looking forward to a nice catch.
Remember that the bigger cats can sometimes grow quite large; over 50 pounds is not uncommon. This means that you might want to have a reel that can withstand a lot of pressure coming from that heavy load. Also bear in mind the area from which you will be do the catfishing. Survey the possible obstacles that could snag your line and damage your reel. These considerations will likely make you decide to opt for a durable reel.
Don't forget to consider the rod and the line you plan to use to be sure it's compatible with the reel. A medium to heavy rod that's 7 to 9 feet long in addition to a good sturdy reel wound with at least 20 pound test line should do the trick.
To help you further, here are some tips that can guide you in choosing the most appropriate reel for your catfishing:
Tip 1
Determine the kind of catfish that you want to catch. There are certain reels that are designed for specific types of catfishes. Know your fish and know your reel.
Tip 2
Your fishing reel should match your catfishing rod. This is necessary in order for all of the equipment to work perfectly as a unit.
Tip 3
Always buy quality reels that can withstand a lot of pressure and weight. Remember that catfishes are prone to grow quite large and this can put a lot of strain in your reel. Opting to buy cheaper model reels will only make you replace them more often due to the wear and tear they are likely encounter. This will cost you more in the long run as compared to buying those quality reels in the first place.
Tip 4
You can also check the gear ratio of the catfishing reel that you would want to buy. Gear ratio is the number of revolutions that the spool will make during each complete turn of the handle. When choosing the right gear ratio, remember the place where you will need it. High gear ratio will work best for quick retrievals and low gear ratios are recommended for bottom fishing
Tip 5
Choose a reel which is based on your skill level and experience. It is best to ask for the equipment sales person when you are looking to buy a reel. They will know best of what reel or even other equipment that will suit your needs and expertise.
Tip 6
Research the different types of reels and know the ones that will work best in every situation. There are three main types of reels and they are the spinning reel, the baitcasting reel, and the bell or the open-faced reel. Happy Catfishing!

Where can i get a demo reel made in ireland?
Its for submitting to talent agencies and how much do they cost?
Hi Miss Belle,
Not sure what you're looking to submit.....is it just voice work, stage acting, film acting, all the above?
It depends on how long and how detailed you want it. The good news is that with all the fantastic audio and video programs available, it's a lot less expensive than it used to be.
I would first suggest contacting a local university and getting in touch with the media or films department and see if they offer that service. If not, I'm sure one of the students would love to produce one freelance for some short money.
College kids need their Guinness money! LOL
Good luck
