For flathead cats I think the 30 lb braid should be fine but since you are also planning on fishing Saltwater as well, you would not have a problem with 60 lb test, although it might not be needed unless you are going after 100 lb plus fish. I don't see that putting 60 lb test on your reel will damage it but your rod might be in trouble, if you are catching 100 lb plus fish. How big are Flatheads you are trying to catch and what kind of saltwater fish will you be trying to catch?
