Daiwa continues to develop new reels that are both affordable and durable and their new CR80HS falls right in line. The 8 bearing reel has a 7.5:1 gear ratio, 15-pound drag system and infinite anti-reverse and weighs in at a very light 6.9 ounces. It retails at $79.99 and it’s a high quality, cost-effective option for a weekend and tournament anglers.
We have 5 of these beauties for our latest giveaway.
Congratulations to the winners, your reels are on the way! Thanks for entering and as always, keep an eye out for more weekly giveaways from the Wired2fish guys.
