Pro Sport CX2

Custom Feel. Pro Sport Power.

The CastAway Pro Sport CX2 CX273MH is a 7’3” Mag Medium Heavy casting rod designed for anglers who demand a combination of sensitivity, backbone, and durability. Built on a high-modulus graphite blank reinforced with carbon nanotube composite, it balances lightweight performance with rugged strength. Outfitted with Sea Guide components, a split EVA grip, and CastAway’s proprietary guide spacing, the CX2 delivers tournament-ready feel at an accessible price. An optional customization adds trout and redfish slot-limit marks directly onto the rod blank, giving inshore anglers a convenient way to measure their catch on the water.

Specs Table

Best Use & Conditions

• • Bass Fishing: Texas rigs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigging.

  • Inshore Saltwater: Target redfish and speckled trout with confidence in flats and bays.

  • Multi-Purpose Rod: Sensitive enough for finesse presentations, strong enough for larger fish.

  • Regulation Convenience: Optional slot-limit decals provide a built-in measuring tool for legal size checks.

Rigging & Tips

• • Texas Rigs & Jigs: Sensitivity helps detect light bottom-contact bites.

  • Crankbaits/Spinnerbaits: Moderate-fast action balances hook-setting power with lure control.

  • Pro Tip: Pair with 10–17 lb fluorocarbon for finesse and all-purpose bass fishing, or 30–40 lb braid with leader for inshore use.

Customization: Trout & Redfish Marks

When purchasing directly from CastAway Rods, anglers can add slot-limit decals to the rod blank for measuring trout and redfish:

• • None: Standard rod with no markings.

  • Texas: Adds current Texas trout and redfish size limits.

  • Louisiana: Adds Louisiana slot limits.

  • Mississippi: Adds Mississippi slot limits.

This option typically adds a small additional cost and provides inshore anglers with a regulation-compliant measuring tool right on the rod.
