Ambassadeur Fishing

what do you think of this reel for catfishing?

i’m going for catfish up to 20lbs and was wondering if this reel called the “Abu Garcia EON 5600 Ambassadeur” could hold up to the challange. The reel holds mono line up to 12 lbs but i’m spooling it with 30# braid. the reel has a 6.2:1 gear ratio and i’m just curious if any of you guys have dealt with this reel before and if you think it can handle a big catfish? thanks and good fishing (:

that reel should be fine.
l have one. still new. never been on a rod. it was bought just to add to my collection.
all the ambassadeurs are good sturdy reels.
