I bought 2 of these reels in San Antonio Texas for fishing salmon on Lake Ontario , Canada. Caught 2 salmon so far and the reel performed outstanding. When I was in the Bass Store the salesman was a big help explaining all the features. Thanks for the help! Happy Canadian.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fire1nova Awesome Reel
At first i was skeptical on buying this reel because it just came out and only had one review. I purchased it anyway thinking I was going to take a risk. Let me tell you this reel is great i was going to use it for top fishing and it does cast quite far after you adjust your settings, anyways we decided to do some rock fishing at first I was using my daiwa sg47lca with counter and I gave the abu a shot with my 15 pound izorline dropped it and man does it recover nice, fast, and smooth with 2 big fish on the lines. The level-wine and big handle make jobs so much easier too. Overall very happy with the purchase and i highly recommend this reel for this price range.

I would try it. When catfish aren't biting try anything. They are usually attracted to stuff that stinks so why not. I didn't use this type of salmon eggs. But I remember using Balls of Fire, salmon eggs and I caught a 7 pound flat head. Just put like 3 on a 1/0 hook and see what bites. Good LuckAnswers
