The Daiwa CA80XSL is the left‑hand retrieve version of the CA80 series, engineered for anglers who demand speed, palm‑ability and value in a compact low‑profile baitcasting reel. With a swift 8.3:1 gear ratio and robust 11‑lb max drag, this reel handles fast retrieves while the anodised aluminium frame ensures rigidity and durability without excess weight.
Features:
- Anodised aluminium frame (80‑size) with graphite/side plate build for lightweight strength
- 32 mm (or approx 34 mm) spool diameter for better casting control and line management
- External magnetic cast control dial for tuning spool speed and reducing back‑lashes
- 90 mm swept handle with soft paddle knobs for improved leverage and ergonomics
- Reduced frame‑to‑spool ratio for better palmability and handling especially on smaller rods
