Choose 65 for spinning and vertical catfish fishing. At 643 g with a 5.6:1 ratio and 110 cm retrieve per turn, it is lighter and retrieves more line per turn. Choose 85 for buoy fishing and long-range legering with large natural baits from the bank. It weighs 866 g, has a 4.2:1 ratio and retrieves 100 cm per turn, so it trades lower weight and faster line recovery for the larger stated capacity at a thicker reference diameter.
Yes, both reels were developed for braided line and use an aluminium Long Stroke spool with S-curve line lay. The supplied capacities refer to mono: 265 m at 0.40 mm for 65 and 285 m at 0.50 mm for 85. Use these as diameter-specific reference figures, not as stated braid capacities or a direct capacity comparison at the same diameter.
No, both models have a stated drag force of 14 kg from an extra-large Offshore multi-disc drag system. Their aluminium housing and rotor resist twisting under load. Choose between them for the intended technique, weight, retrieve and capacity rather than expecting more drag from 85.

The Black Cat Catextreme is a fixed-spool reel developed for catfish fishing with braided line. Its strong axle, power handle and power gears provide power transfer and smooth retrieval even with large baits. Model 65 is intended for active spinning and vertical fishing, while Model 85 is designed for buoy fishing and long-range legering with large natural baits from the bank.
The aluminium housing and rotor resist twisting under load, helping the reel stay stable during demanding catfish fishing. Both models have an extra-large Offshore multi-disc drag system rated at 14 kg, so choosing the larger model does not increase the stated drag force. Six ball bearings and Hot Sauce oil support smooth operation. Infinite anti-reverse prevents backward handle movement.
Both models are designed for braided line and have an aluminium Long Stroke spool. S-curve line lay distributes line evenly across the spool. The quoted capacities are monofilament reference figures, not separate braid-capacity ratings.
Model 65 weighs 643 g, has a 5.6:1 gear ratio and retrieves 110 cm per handle turn. Its monofilament capacity is 265 m of 0.40 mm line. It is the lighter option for repeated lure retrieval and vertical fishing on active catfish sessions.
Model 85 weighs 866 g, has a 4.2:1 gear ratio and retrieves 100 cm per handle turn. Its monofilament capacity is 285 m of 0.50 mm line. It holds the stated length of thicker line for buoy rigs and distant bank presentations with large natural baits, at the cost of greater reel weight and less line retrieved per turn. The capacity figures use different line diameters and are not a direct same-diameter comparison.
