Rated 5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CatMaxx Spinning Combo Great Rod, great reel. Very sturdy, smooth retrieval. Was able to cast a 2 lb carp w/ a 5 oz weight effortlessly. Very impressed thus far. Now I just need to catch that monster Flathead. March 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great power over larger fish Gives good power and stability when reeling in larger fish. Excellent casting distance and overall very reliable. January 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by My turn I'm tired of buying all the good gear for my son. I deserve some quality toys as well. I bought the CM70 reel to replace a burned up 'discount' reel. It is so nice that I got the CM80. At the time, the Cat Maxx rods were sold out. I'm looking forward to my new combo, CM80 and 11' heavy duty rod. The 50 to 80 lb. flatheads can hide no more, they will be mine.... If the rods perform half as well as the reels, NO fish is safe!! November 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by STRONG I bought the spinning combo with the size 70 reel and 8' rod, I have it lined with Trilene Big Game 20#. The first time I took it out I landed a 15# and 20# blue cat. It handled very well and I got both fish in with no problem. This is the best combo I have ever owned! July 19, 2010

The butt does not come off but you might try the The Balancerâ„¢ Rod Balancing System Item Number: 38-400-240-00, which fits onto the rear end of most straight handled casting and spinning rods.

A: 
There are Catmaxx poles that break down in two or three pieces as well as the smaller one piece rods. There is a 15 foot model I've only seen in stores that is a 3 piece rod.

Reel Model?

Details: 
Is the difference between the CM70 and the CM80 just the physical size of the reel? Also can this reel be swapped between a righty and a lefty?

A: 
The difference is the line capacity and the drag weight. The CM70 holds 190 yds of 25 pound test, where the CM80 holds 290 yards. The CM80 also provides 2.2 more lbs of drag resistance than the CM70. I personally own the CM70 and haven't had any problems or needed the additional features of the CM80.
It can be interchanged between RH and LH retrieve.

Difference is physical size, 80 holds more line. Both can be switched easily right to left handed.

A: 
Yes the difference between the two is the physical size of the reels. Both have the same gear ratios and line recovery, but the CM80 holds an extra 100 yards of the same diameter line. Also the handle is reversible so it can be used as a lefty or righty.
