What would be the best reel for catching large catfish around the 40 to 50 pound range?

zebco makes an 808 i believe is the model # my Dad swore by them and caught lots of big cats
get an ugly stick rod to fit 30-50 lb line to go with one of these.
use the 30lb line myself but in lots of stumps or brush the 50 is better.
out cast any penn. just depends on if you are fishing or winching.have caught several 50-80 cats on both, 6500 and7000, and several stripe marlin on the 7000
I just need a fresh water reel that will not crumble on the rod when I hit a big cat.
I use mine for salmon,halibut,tuna could be used for sturgon to
I may sell my 30 and get a 20. put one on a ugly stick and you have a very good cat rod and reel.
