Would this be a good reel for surf fishing?

I have mine paired with a 12 ft penn Battalion surf rod. I can cast 6 oz of weight plus bait 70 yards on 40 lb mono. Keep in mind I am no expert on casting whatsoever, there is a technique to it and it isn`t that hard to learn. You don`t have to be perfect or I couldn`t do it. lol This was my first multiplier reel and it is a quality reel. I also spool it myself. I just landed a 40 lb catfish on this setup and it was a workout! If this is your first multiplier reel, I would just suggest that you research on youtube, there are lots of videos on casting techniques and on using this type of reel. If you don`t mind guiding the line with your thumb back and forth onto the spool as you reel it in, (no big deal either) then yes! With the right rod , you could cast a country mile and land pretty much anything swimming.

Anyone know how well of a catfishing reel this is or would be?

This reel will perform perfectly for catfishing. This reel has been designed for multi-use in both freshwater and saltwater applications.

If you're using 30 to 40 lb test, how many yards could you fit on this reel?

It says in the description 270 / 30# 240 / 40#
