Hi,
If I was looking to buy some new reels - I know that the numbers refer to the amount of line that I'm able to fit on the spools, and the gear ratio tells me how fast or slow it will wind. However, how do I know how strong it is? I would like to be able to catch catfish and I'm aware they are all muscle and fight like a champ, but I also want to catch carp, and maybe a catfish reel will be a bit overkill for carp. So what do I need to look for? What info do I need to look for when browsing?
