Kastking Zephyr Bait Finesse Casting Reel

The KastKing Zephyr Baitcasting fishing reel is specifically designed for anglers who want to add a true BFS casting reel to their fishing tackle. It features an ultra-lightweight BFS spool that performs exceptionally well with light fishing line and light baits. The spool is made from solid aluminum and spins effortlessly on Double Shielded SS ball bearings at high speeds.

This reel is designed with a small, palm-sized frame that is perfect for finesse style fishing. The frame and side covers are made of lightweight carbon fiber, making the entire reel weigh only 160 grams/5.6 ounces. The combination of small size, lightweight, and strength make it ideal for bait finesse applications.

The Zephyr reel is equipped with eight magnets that provide braking for the BFS spool. These magnets have ten levels of adjustment, allowing anglers to use a wide range of bait sizes and fishing conditions. It also features six high-speed, double shielded stainless-steel ball bearings for smoothness and high line speeds, as well as an infinite anti-reverse bearing for solid hook sets. The drive gear is made of hardened aluminum alloy to reduce weight, and the pinion gear is made of high-strength brass for durability.

This reel has a high-speed 7.2:1 gear ratio, picking up 29.8″ of line with each turn of the handle. The drag system is made with 4 carbon fiber washers and provides 10 lbs/4.5kg of reliable drag. The shallow, Bait Finesse aluminum spool is designed for lower capacity light weight BFS lines, allowing for easy casting of exceptionally light baits. The line capacity for mono is 4lbs/75 yds, 6lbs/65yds, 8lbs/50yds.

The KastKing Zephyr Bait Finesse Casting reel is designed with attention to detail for finesse fishing applications. It provides low profile comfort, a high-speed spool, an aluminum handle fitted with comfortable EVA knobs, and many other performance features that make it the professional's choice for Bait Finesse System fishing.

The Zephyr Bait Finesse System BFS Baitcasting fishing reel is perfect for accurate, short-range casts using light line and extremely light baits. It features a super shallow CNC aluminum spool supported by an aluminum shaft and high-speed double shielded ball bearings. The spool is designed for light weight lines ranging from 4-8 lbs and baits as light as 1.5 grams.

The palm-sized frame and side covers are made of 100% carbon material, keeping the weight to a minimum. The entire reel weighs only 5.64 ounces/160 grams, yet it is rigid and strong for superior performance and control.

With a high-speed gear ratio of 7.2:1, the Zephyr picks up 29.8″ of line with each turn of the handle. The machined aluminum main gear and machined brass pinion gear ensure smoothness and durability. The worm drive shaft is machined of nickel-plated brass for a long life and smooth performance.

The Zephyr features a 4-disc carbon fiber drag system that provides a smooth and consistent drag, which is crucial for the light BFS fishing lines used with this reel. It has no hesitation on startup, protecting the light lines.

The braking system is designed to control the high speed associated with the Bait Finesse System. It utilizes 8 magnetic buttons with 6 different adjustment levels to prevent overruns when using small finesse baits in various fishing conditions.

The spool is a key component in designing a true Bait Finesse System casting reel. It needs to be exceptionally lightweight and shallow, holding a limited amount of light diameter line while delivering high line speeds with minimal effort. The Zephyr's CNC machined BFS aluminum spool weighs only 9 grams and accurately delivers baits down to 1.5 grams. The line capacity for the Zephyr casting reel is Mono (Lbs/Yds): 4lbs/75 yds, 6lbs/65yds, 8lbs/50yds.
