Daiwa CA80 Baitcasting Reel 7.5:1 14/110 7.2oz 10BB$94.99
Availability: In Stock
The Daiwa CA80 baitcasting reel is built for anglers who want lightweight performance without compromise. At just 7.2 ounces, this compact 80-size reel sits comfortably in your palm during long days on the water, whether you're throwing crankbaits, plastics, or live bait in freshwater or light saltwater conditions. The 8.3:1 gear ratio strikes a practical balance between retrieve speed and torque, letting you work presentations efficiently while keeping solid contact with your line.
The CA80's construction emphasizes durability and feel. An anodized aluminum frame pairs with a graphite side plate to keep weight minimal without sacrificing rigidity. The spool is also anodized aluminum—a proven material choice that resists corrosion and handles the repeated stress of casting and fighting fish. Ten ball bearings support smooth, predictable rotation, and the 90mm swept handle delivers leverage and control when you're setting the hook or grinding through the retrieve.
Line capacity sits at 14 pounds test with 110 yards of backing—enough for most freshwater bass and pike work, and serviceable for light saltwater applications. This is a reel that rewards good casting technique; you get precision in a package that won't tire your wrist over the course of a full day of fishing.
| Model | CA80 |
| Gear Ratio | 8.3:1 |
| Line Capacity (lb test/yards) | 14/110 |
| Weight | 7.2 oz |
| Ball Bearings | 10 |
| Frame Material | Anodized Aluminum |
| Side Plate Material | Graphite |
| Spool Material | Anodized Aluminum |
| Handle Length | 90mm |
The CA80 holds 14 pounds test with 110 yards of backing. That's sufficient for freshwater bass, pike, and panfish work, and works for lighter saltwater applications as well.
Yes. At 7.2 ounces, the CA80 is designed to minimize fatigue during extended casting sessions. The compact body and balanced weight distribution make it comfortable to use from sunrise to sunset.
An 8.3:1 ratio means the spool rotates 8.3 times for each turn of the handle. This mid-range gear ratio works well for a variety of techniques—it's fast enough for reaction baits and efficient retrieves, but slow enough to generate solid torque when you're working heavier lures or fighting a good fish.
The frame and spool are both anodized aluminum, which resists corrosion and handles repeated stress. The side plate is graphite, a lighter alternative that helps keep overall weight down to 7.2 ounces.
