CCF-X2 8/10
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.

The CCF-X2 Drag System
The CCF-X2 drag runs a proprietary dual-action system combining cork and carbon fiber braking surfaces in a fully sealed housing. It delivers 20 to 25 pounds of maximum drag pressure with InfinAdjust—a continuous adjustment range that eliminates the detents and dead zones found in standard drag systems. It’s built for saltwater conditions where sand, heat, and sustained runs are normal. The system performs identically whether the reel is fresh out of the bag or has been dunked in the flats for three days straight.
What It Is
Dual-action cork and carbon fiber drag, fully sealed, with InfinAdjust continuous range control. 20 to 25 pounds. maximum drag pressure depending on model. Designed for repeated high-heat, high-friction runs without degradation.
What It Means on the Water
When a bonefish, permit, or tarpon makes a 100-foot run, the drag doesn’t spike, fade, or chatter. It holds. Dial in your setting before the fish and don’t touch it again. That’s the point.
