A really good catfish spinning reel?
I just got a Berkley glowstik 7' anr it came with a reel on it, but I want to use heavyer line. I like spinning reels, looking for one with adjustable drag, and bait clicker. Also one that can cast far with bigger line. Any help would be great, if you could just tell me brands to look into that be cool too. Just going to use this pole for fishing on the bottom of lakes and ponds, maybe sum dams. CATFISHING SPINNING REEL
Changing to a bigger reel for your combo might not be a good option. Bigger reels are almost always heavier than smaller ones. The balance of the setup will change. If you changed the reel to something big enough to make a difference, I am sure your setup will be heavy at the handle.
Your reel already came with adjustable drag. The drag adjustment knob is either in the front of the spool or behind the body of the reel. If you want a clicker or bite alarm, you will have to get a baitcasting reel or a small conventional reel that's equipped with a clicker. Spinning reels don't have a clicker you could switch on and off.
If you want to cast bigger lines further with spinning reels, you will have to get bigger rods and reels. When you cast a spinning setup, your line will bump into line guides on the rod and slow your line down. This is why thicker lines have shorter casting distance than thinner lines. You need a bigger spinning rod to cast thick lines further because bigger rods got bigger line guides; your line will not bump on bigger line guides as much.
If you want use heavier lines and cast longer distance, your best choice would be replacing the mono line with braid lines. If you want to do anything else, get a bigger rod and reel. Don't use lines heavier than your rod could handle though. I think your rod was rated for lines up to 17 or 20 pound lines. You better check the markings on your rod or search for your rod specifications online before you change your line.
