@@Matt-to3jo I don’t use them very much to really tell if they will hold up to distance throwing and such. Using them out of the boat, they were great. But I have not really abused them to see if they will stand up to the test of time.
What bait do you suggest for freshwater, as far as something that will really catch them, great bait??? I'm just starting disabled vet who finally reached retirement age. After 12 years I finally get a check, but it's not much. But as the wife says even a little is better than none. Looking to buy something that will last me as far as reels. I can sit and fish since I can't walk but a few feet at a time. Do you think this reel will last? A lot of questions, sorry. Any help would be appreciated.
@@thebigfellar7178 I have not used this particular reel very much, so not sure how it will hold up during the test of time. I have used the Daiwa Saltist series reels and they seem to be very solid fishing reels. A little more expensive but I have had zero trouble with them
@@rivercatblues Those are pricey reels. A little too much out of my league. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Kast King Rover 70. It's $61.09 on Amazon, and all the reviews and Yt videos just rant and rave on how good they are. I'll probably get #2 of them and a couple ugly sticks. Wish I could afford top tier gear, but I can't. Thank you for replying back to me and your advice. Hope you nothing but the best for you and your family. Peace.
@@thebigfellar7178 I have caught several blue cat on chicken, chicken livers are good for catfish also but harder to keep on the hook. I also have had good luck with raw shrimp that you buy from Walmart. A lot of small blues and channel cat really seem to like them. Of course if you can get your hands on some Shad, they work well also
Thanks for your input, just ordered this reel as my first conventional reel. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for 🎣video and information
Are you still liking these?

why did you put back in the water your fish?
Was not hungry for fish that day. Will keep some another day though
Chicken or chicken livers??? People tell me all kinds of stuff. You said chicken, so I had to ask.
