I'd advise more than 6 lb. test line on that reel, especially if fishing where you can catch big catfish, pike, steelhead and king salmon.


Thanks for the advice. Up here are channel catfish and bullhead, as well as bowfin. Oh, and walleye. That's one I'm excited to try and catch.

I should also say I'm more of a catch and release type fisherman as Im not fond of eating fish. It really more for the sport and something to do up around here.

Check out some videos by a guy that posts them on u-tube called "Kayak Catfishing" and watch the monsters he pulls out of the Tennessee River. He's also a catch and release guy.

Usually where I fish there are several other folks trying their luck, so many times I'll give what I catch to someone since many of them are fishing to put food on the table. Once I have enough in my freezer, I tend to give them away or release them.
