<p>It is a *very* nice reel! I've landed several decent catfish with it, and even did battle with a leviathan Blue Catfish the went somewhere between 50 and 80 lbs (closer to 80). That reel hasn't failed me yet.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If I ever move back to OK and return to my old stomping grounds, I might just upgrade to an Okuma Avenger ABF-90 size reel. Same clicker setup, but a bigger reel, bigger spool, should give me a little more distance on casting.</p>

<p>I have an Okuma Avenger ABF 65 spinning reel that has a bait clicker. Love that thing. It's a little big for Bullheads, but Channels, Blues, and Flatheads it's perfect.</p>

<p>"Rear Clicker drags"?? You mean a bait clicker like on a Abu Garcia 7000 baitcaster? Or just a spinning reel that has the drag adjustment at the rear instead of the front?</p>

Went Bullhead fishing once this year; yesterday in fact. ;got 3 Brown BHeads and 1 Yellow Bhead using Hotdog chunks dipped in chicken liver blood.

<p><strong>I use to set out three rods with bells for bullheads at dusk . Had too many swallow the size1 Baitholder hook covered with a hot dog .I since use one rod and set the hook myself and have very few swallowed.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I have never used a float for Bullheads and Channel Cats or White Cats (the largest Bullhead of the family)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Very creative trolling application!</strong></p>
