CCF-X2 6/8

The Saltwater Standard
Sale price$595.000.0

The CCF-X2 6/8 is where the X Series hands off and serious saltwater begins. Built around the proprietary CCF-X2 dual-action drag system with InfinAdjust continuous range control, this reel is fully sealed against salt, sand, and repeated immersion. It handles medium saltwater species and doubles as a capable freshwater option for steelhead and salmon. Light enough for a full day on the flats, strong enough to not be the reason you lost the fish. If you've been fishing saltwater on an X Series and know you need more, this is the next reel.

Dual-action drag engineered for fish that don't stop.

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. 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 lbs 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.
