When you're catfishing, you need a reel that can stand up to a large, muscular fish taking 100yards of line at a swift pace as it tears away after being hooked. Because catfish have a propensity for diving for cover, wrapping your line around any snag that happens to be in the water, including plenty you won't have even thought about, a highly abrasion-resistant braid is essential; which means that a reel designed to handle braided mainline is also a necessary part of your catfishing set up.
Part of the Fox Rage Catfish range, and designed for targeted predator pursuit, the CR Reel, which comes in a choice of 600 or 800 reel size, is more than up to the job, and makes a balanced addition to any predator rod, including the Fox Rage Catfish range.
A replaceable slider system offers the appeal of longevity, even in the face of the extreme demands of heavy duty predator angling. A corrosion resistant finish protects the delicate reel housing, which contains six stainless steel ball bearings, and 30lb of Matrix carbon drag technology. With a 4:7:1 gear ratio, the reel packs plenty of smooth power, giving you the ability to handle the biggest catfish in truly effortless style, on any venue.
The Fox Rage Catfish CR Reel is designed to handle heavy braid, making it the ideal choice when you're loaded for large predators, and braced for sharp, strong runs into thick cover, and around tricky underwater snags. Dual anti-reverse ensures solid, near-shockless hook holds, with virtually no backplay. This puts you in the best possible position to hold your own in the fight, and bring a strong, lively catfish to the bank safely, giving both fish and angler the best possible experience.
If you're worried about the weight of a rod and reel when you're out all day, taking on the tough battles that large predators offer, then don't be. The CR600 weighs in at just 543g, while the CR800 comes in at 851g, ensuring a balanced, lightweight strength when mounted on any good quality predator rod. With the Fox Rage range, there's nothing standing between you and your new personal best when it comes to catfish.
