For bullheads, you'll be ok with that reel, although it might be a bit overkill. If i'm not mistaken, bullheads rarely get over a pound or two.

Channels? Sure.

Step 1
Find a straight tree branch, then trim the branch. This means removing all protruding branches and twigs. You might need a knife to accomplish this. You'll want your branch to be roughly the size of a standard fishing pole and around the same height as its intended user.
Step 2
Purchase fishing line and a fishing hook. Hooks come in all shapes and sizes, so consult with the salesperson about the types of fish you aim to catch in order to determine the appropriate size.
Step 3
Cut a piece of fishing line with scissors that is the same length as your fishing pole. Use the knife to cut a groove around the end of your pole, then tie one end of the fishing line to this grooved end, fitting the line tightly into the groove so that it cannot slide.
Step 4
Cut a similar groove with the knife around the middle of a cork. This will serve as your bobber. Tie the line around the grooved section of the cork 6 to 10 inches from the free end of the line. Be sure that 6 to 10 inches of line remains free.
Step 5
Tie the end of the fishing line to the hook.
Step 6
Attach some bait, such as worms that can be found in your front yard, and go fish.

Nothing special needed for cats ... a cane pole, carp rod, a trimmed branch, or anything similar will get the job done. Whatever pound test line you have, a bit of a sinker, and a sharp hook. Chicken livers, gizzards, or rotten ground meat ... all will work. Enjoy the deep fried goodness of catfish fillets as the result!

I have caught some cats very shallow. A stick pole would actually work pretty good.

Macks work, but fresh shad from the lake is best!
