Fishing Application and Fishing Rod Suggestion Guide
The CR80, while at an entry-level price range is more than comfortable at handling dominant species like queenfish, barra and saratoga. If it is these northern stars that wet your appetite then consider a baitcaster fishing rod to match with a line rating of 5-8kg plus.
Should you not have these powerful brutes in your area and are forced to settle for a lighter class of fish like bass, perch, trout or flathead then you can easily pick a lighter grade of baitcaster rod to match with the CR80H. In this case, you can easily take comfort in picking a baitcaster fishing rod that rates around 2-5kg or thereabouts.
We range both light and a more oppressive class of baitcast rods for sale in our online fishing store. To find them, head to our search tool and enter in the words baitcaster rod.
