A great approach for strong current is to cast cross current and reel very slowly or even just hold the rod up, with the line tight, allowing the Tasmanian Devil to dance as it fights the current and swings across and downstream

The science runs deep, but essentially the combination of spool shape, size and shorter stroke allows the body of the reel to be made much more compact, yet the ability of this work of art to cast a lead huge distances is phenomenal

Unfortunately, as mentioned by other reviews out there the zipper could use some improvement

Note: a standard axle for a #143 model cart will not work with the poly wheels thus the 33" axle

For beginner setups for blue/flathead catfish I would recommend: Casting: KastKing Rover reel in the 60 size, or a Abu Garcia in the 6000 or 7000 size, on a Rippin Lips Supercast Medium-Heavy/Heavy rod

Long story short: If you have the budget, nab a Demon Smuggler and dont look back
