Created to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, this limited-edition Red, White & Blue CCF-X2 is a very limited production honoring 250 years of American independence and American manufacturing. The CCF-X2 8/10 is one serious saltwater reel. It covers the widest range of conditions and species in the lineup—permit on the flats, tarpon in the backcountry, offshore work when the trip calls for it. The CCF-X2 drag runs 20 to 25 pounds of stopping power with no detents, no dead zones, and no performance degradation after repeated runs in heat and salt. High backing capacity, fully sealed housing, Giga arbor for fast line recovery. Most serious anglers who fish saltwater own this size. There’s a reason for that. This reel has become the go to heavy duty reel here at ChiFly and well beyond living up to the "Best of Show" award won it's inaugural release year. The dual action CCF-X2 drag system features twice the drag strength (20lbs+), twice the smoothness and half the startup inertia as the former CCF. Fully sealed and loaded with hybrid ceramic bearings, TPX bushings and an over-sized drag knob with infinadjust range settings.
