While I was in the grips of the bait monkey I ended up purchasing several reels.  This one was a suprise, I don't even remember buying it, but it came in the mail today.  It seems to be a beefy reel, gear ratio 5:1:1, high capacity spool, bait clicker.  What I'm thinking is putting it on a heavy fast action rod for the rare times that I catfish, or maybe working heavy baits for stripers.  I have no idea how it will cast or anything.  Does anyone have any experience with this reel?  Am I on the right track for proper use?  I could always keep it as a back up for in the rare chance that my EXT Pro that I modified to a 4:7:1 would break down.  What do you think?
