I prefer the 6000 series Abu Garcia reels for the vast majority of my fishing though I do use the 5500 C3 reels for channel catfish and at times the 7000 series reels for trophy blues and flatheads

Designed for long, comfortable days on the water, the rod features an ergonomic Split Grip handle

Theyre my go-to reels for catfishing

The X comes equipped with that they're calling their Hybrid Carbon Matrix drag stack rated at 18 pounds of maximum pressure

Im glad to see Abu Garcia design this reel with oversized EVA knobs
