Coronado CDX Baitfeeder

Functionality, Strength and Ease of Use

The Coronado CDX bait feeding reels were designed with the latest technology available. The Coronado CDX features a corrosion resistant graphite body with graphite CFR: Cyclonic Flow Rotor technology to sweep water away from the spool and internal workings of the reel. One of the key updates to the Coronado CDX is the slow oscillation system. This slower oscillation system gives an exceptional line lay upon retrieve, and is optimized for use with braided line

The Coronado CDX brings its updated technology to four key sizes. A 55, 60, 65, and 80 size reel fill the family up nicely. All four sizes feature the Okuma DFD: Dual Force Drag system with its buttery smooth Carbonite drag washers, and new easier to use On/Off auto trip bait feeding system.

Depending on the size of your reel, the DFD process will bring between 27-36 lbs of pure drag pressure giving this reel the ultimate in stopping power. To round out its power, the Coronado CDX comes standard with a machined aluminum, screw in handle system, heavy duty solid aluminum bail wire, and machined aluminum, 2-tone anodized spool with LCS lip design to reduce line twist.

Questions about Okuma Coronado CDX Lightweight Baitfeeder Saltwater Reel

Which coronado model would pair well with the lc-s-802m-1:8 and the csx-s-1062m cedros?

Answer: Do not know, my reels are on 10 and 11 foot Ugly Sticks; and works great.

hi what fishing rod would be nice to pair with reel

Answer: I paired it up with the okuma pch custom popping rod I believe it's a 7'6 xh , I haven't got a chance to fish it yet , but looks like it'll be a good all around combo

Answer: I have a phenix abysys 807 spinning rod and I love the set up

Answer: I put mine on a Shakespeare "Ugly Stik" for surf casting. Not too expensive and very reliable. Works for me.

Is this the model cdx 55?it has 27lbs of drag?

Answer: the okuma coronado 55 cdx has 28 lbs. max drag

Is the gear ratio 4.8/1 or 4.9/1? Cause there’s conflicting information in you product description.

Answer: The 80 is 4.9:1, according to their website. I don't have mine with me in FL. as I use my 80 for Stripe Bass on Cape Cod.

Answer: It's 4.9:1.

Spare spool?

Answer: No there is not a spare spool that comes with reel. You might try asking Okuma if they would sell you one.

Answer: No

Does this reel have an audible sound when the line goes out using the baitfeeder function like a baitclicker does?

Answer: Yes it does but it is not very loud, with that being said it is a beast of a reel, will handle 200-300 lb fish easily

Answer: Yes it clicks, it's a great real I used it for lake so last year and I'm getting a second one this year.

Is the reel seat made of metal or plastic?

Answer: Graphite body, the reel has held up for me chunk bait and live lining catching stripers and bluefish over 20 and 30lbs. Along with getting hung up in rocks fishing 50lb braid and exerting some serious pressure to try and free up. Great reel for the money. A bit heavy. So are my Diawa BG's that are all metal

Answer: Metal same as the body of the reel,reel works very well and holds a lot of line.

Answer: No it’s metal

Answer: It is made of graphite

Answer: It's Aluminum.

Is the body sealed with a gasket to keep water out?

Answer: No

cuantas libras de arrastre

Which model would be suggested for surf fishing? Targeting black tips, jacks, pomps, reds etc

Answer: I bought the 65 for my turf pole. Better drag and more line. I use 50lb braid about 250 yards of it.

Answer: Coronado CDX 65 will more than suffice, i use it for offshore trolling, Mahi, Tuna, Kings and such. Its a brute and you will love the drag system on it for the big boys !!

Answer: I have the 55. While it could probably handle it, I would step up to the 65

Does anyone know how much 40lb braid will fit onto the CDX 80 model?

Answer: Don't know if this helps, but I got 300 yds 65 lb Sufix braid on mine with about 15 yds of 80lb mono backing. (just happened to have some laying around)

Answer: I have 40 lb braid on mine, and there's about 350yds on the spool with room to spare.

What are the dimensions of this item in cm and grams?

How much does it weight?

What is the differance between the cdx 65 and the cdx 80?

Answer: Size, the 65 is not as the 80

Answer: what is a size rod for this reel

Is the rear drag suppose to be a little loose after you have got it tight ?

Answer: Yes, it controls the bait runner drag and wants to be loose so the fish won't feel any tension when it takes the bait. The spool drag should be set it fighting mode so you can set the hook.

Saltwater usable?

Answer: Yes I used it for rock fish,lincods and salmon also caught plenty of stergeon

Answer: Absolutely.

Is this able to use in salwater?

Answer: This is an outstanding reel. Salt water is the only place I use it. I have had mine for two years and it still is as good as when I first got it. I do wash it with low velocity water after each us.

Does the secondary drag click in automatically when reeling or do you have to hit the switch?

Answer: Clicks in as soon as you touch the handle, remember to have light pull on baitrunner drag and higher drag on front drag to set the hook.

Answer: A full rotation of the handle will disengage the bait runner drag and automatically switch to the main drag, or you can manually flip it to the off position, either way works

Answer: Secondary drag is automatic.

Answer: This reel is a heavy pile of crap

Is the handle interchangeable to make it right handed?

Answer: Yes it is, I'm left handed so I changed it when I received it. Most reels are interchangeable.

Answer: yes

Answer: Yes

Answer: Yes.

Answer: Yes

Product reviews of Okuma Coronado CDX Lightweight Baitfeeder Saltwater Reel

William Fisher : Extremely happy

I have two of these mounted on whisker seeker catfish poles with 85 pound braid. The reels hold a good bit of line and the bait feeders work amazing. If you bank fish and have your rods spread apart these can’t be beat. Quite a few times this feature has saved me from losing a rod not being able to get to it on time when a big cat hits. I have penn, abu Garcia, shimano reels and these do just as well if not better.

Richard : Nice build

I have not actually used mine yet but the build quality is excellent and it just feels nice and sturdy. I picked this over the Spinfisher V LL because I have friends who have had them and they just did not last that long. But I have a great feeling about this one.

Rick Bishop : Well built

I actually own several of these reels that are 15 years old and have loved them so I t was a no brainer to go with the same make and model when I was looking for a couple more live bait runners and was not disappointed, as happy as i was with my old ones ( I have a 65 & 80 model) the new models seem to be built to a much higher level and can’t wait to use them as I have not had a chance to get on the water yet, I will add that I hooked and boated a 45 lb king fish with the older 65 model and had no problem whatsoever in doing so and believe the new one will perform even better

A.Z : THIS REEL FAILED DURING A LONG RANGE TRIP...

I was using this reel for the first time, fishing for 15-25 lb. yellow fin tuna. The bait feeder function froze, destroying the purpose of this reel. Nightmare to have gear failure on an 8 day fishing trip at sea.

Nello A. : LOVE IT

Nice reel well built smooth as butter great product

wilmer Rauda : I would like my money back

because the line is filled first from the back and is empty in front

Jocelyn Léveillé : CDX 80

Aussi bon que le baitrunner de shimano 8000

Reborn-NY : HEADACHE DO NOT BUY!

Hoped its a great reel but it has a major flaw... the reel foot dose not sit on any rod.... teied 20 different rods in tackel shop all different sizes and ratings... the reel flex and moves in its seat... also it ships its chrome paint fast. Just a bad reel.

Sir : Works great

Works great. Quality work. Very smooth turn

Amazon Customer : Bought as a gift

Haven't used but it's a beefy reel with good feeling and a strong bail snap. Rear drag adjust needs to be bigger. It's super disproportionate to a salt surf reel.

Bobby Williams : Florida Offshore Fishing

Live in Florida and I use this reel for offshore bottom fishing. Solid as a rock. I use 70 lb braid with a 60 lb mono shock leader.

noah kilpatrick : Long lasting

This was my first ll reel that i used for shark fishing. This reel is a powerhouse and is very well built.

rich : Great reel

Nice smooth reel

Scott S. : Great Reel

Great reel. Perfect for live bait on a stop for tuna. Instant lockup and tons of drag.

rich : Great reel

Nice smooth reel

noah kilpatrick : Long lasting

This was my first ll reel that i used for shark fishing. This reel is a powerhouse and is very well built.

Sir : Works great

Works great. Quality work. Very smooth turn

ALAN B : Coronado Cdx 55

i like this reel a lot. seems to be holding up fine and seems to be put together well. i only wish they made this model in a smaller size. i have a few of the older coronado reels and my favorite feature is the bait runner feature, i cant fish without it in my area. wish the sound was a bit louder on the baitrunner setting but i usually pay close enough attention, has caught reds, sea trout and flounder mostly and has handled them all well.

Amazon Customer : Bought as a gift

Haven't used but it's a beefy reel with good feeling and a strong bail snap. Rear drag adjust needs to be bigger. It's super disproportionate to a salt surf reel.

a.herrera : A lot of bang for the buck!

I purchased this reel for my wife and she loves it. Nice weight, smooth and great for striper fishing in the California delta.

noah kilpatrick : Long lasting

This was my first ll reel that i used for shark fishing. This reel is a powerhouse and is very well built.

jose : Excelente

Muy buen carrete. Fuerte y resistente

Raul Cahue Thomas : Fuerza

Bastante fuerza y muy resistente aunque es un poco pesado el carrete es muy cómodo de usar, le puse 30 lbs de linea trenzada y le entraron los 300mts.
Excelente para capturas grandes con carnada viva
