Daiwa CA80 Baitcasting Reel

The Daiwa CA80 is a compact baitcasting reel engineered for anglers who want lightweight, low-profile performance and precise casting control.

Key Features

• Lightweight Frame: Anodized aluminum frame with carbon-graphite side plate for a strong, balanced feel.
• Magforce-Z Magnetic Cast Control: Adjustable magnetic braking lets you dial in casts for different lure weights and wind conditions.
• 34mm Double-Anodized Spool: Reduced frame-to-spool ratio improves palmability and gives smoother spool control.
• 90mm Swept Handle: Soft paddle knobs provide comfortable, efficient cranking power.
• Smooth Retrieve: 9BB + 1RB bearing system for consistent, low-vibration performance and reliable hooksets.

Whether you're targeting freshwater bass or fishing light inshore saltwater, the Daiwa CA80 performs with versatility. Available in multiple gear ratios and left- or right-hand retrieves, the CA80 is ideal for flipping jigs, casting worms, and throwing crankbaits. Daiwa's low-profile shape sits naturally in the palm, reducing fatigue during long sessions while offering the control needed to land fish.
