KastKing Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel

The Kastking Kapstan Elite Saltwater spinning reel is expertly crafted for the demanding conditions of offshore saltwater fishing. This reel is a pinnacle of KastKing's innovation, offering a robust and highly resistant design to the corrosive marine environment with its notable 100% waterproof IPX6 rating. Its construction includes up to 15 EverSeal rubber rings to provide an exceptional barrier against water intrusion into the main gear. Additionally, it boasts the innovative KastKing Intrusion Shield System to further protect the internals and enhance the overall durability and lifespan of the reel, even under heavy use.

This premium saltwater spinning reel is equipped with an incredibly strong and smooth drag system. With varying sizes designed for different fishing needs, the 3000/4000 models utilize a triple-disc carbon fiber drag system with a formidable maximum drag of 30lbs, whereas the 5000/6000 models leverage a quad-disc carbon fiber drag system relying on an enhanced maximum drag of 40lbs. For anglers targeting the largest ocean-dwelling giants, the 8000 size model comes with a specialized double drag system featuring five carbon fiber front discs and a supersized spool carbon disc, providing a class-leading maximum drag force of 55lbs.

The reel's construction promotes unmatched strength and resilience with a super strong aluminum body and CNC aluminum frame construction. The 3000/4000 models further reduce weight without sacrificing integrity, featuring a carbon fiber rotor, whereas the 5000/6000/8000 models boast an aluminum rotor for additional fortitude necessary for power fishing. The large, ergonomically designed power handle and knob are carved from solid aluminum, offering the necessary cranking power to prevail in bouts against challenging game fish.

Anglers will appreciate the reel's ultra-smooth and reliable performance, anchored by 6 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings, which guarantee seamless operation even in the harshest marine conditions. The inclusion of a high-strength, rust-resistant special-designed polymer roller bearing, coupled with an 8-pin stainless steel one-way bearing, ensures that the flywheel movement is consistently fluid and unidirectional.

The gears are a testament to superior engineering, with a best-in-class HRB 90 high-strength aerospace alloy pinion gear meshing seamlessly with a manganese brass gear. This gear combination is touted for its extreme durability, with a lifespan that is significantly greater than traditional aluminum and zinc alloys, by 20% and 95% respectively. The CNC aluminum spool is ready for braided line right out of the box, eliminating the need for back braiding on spooling, thereby streamlining the setup process for anglers.
