KastKing Zephyr 1000 BFS Spinning Reel

The KastKing Zephyr 1000 SFS (Spin Finesse System) spinning reel is an excellent choice for finesse fishing, a technique that requires light lines and small lures often used for delicate presentation. It is perfect for downsizing bait presentations when targeting finicky fish in highly pressured or clear waters. This reel offers all the features finesse anglers need, all in an innovative and affordable package.

Despite its small size, the KastKing Zephyr 1000 is mighty. It features an oversized 7075-T6 aluminum alloy mainshaft that is incredibly strong yet lightweight. The manganese brass pinion gear and triple-disc carbon fiber drag system provide a smooth and powerful drag, allowing you to fish with the lightest lines without the fear of breakoffs.

Enjoy the super smooth performance of the Zephyr thanks to its 7+1 double shielded ball bearings. This BFS reel has a 5.2:1 gear ratio, providing a good balance of torque and speed. With a line retrieve rate of 23.8 inches per turn (IPT), you can quickly bring in your catch.

The KastKing Zephyr 1000 is designed with strength in mind. Its braid-ready CNC aluminum hard-anodized two-tone spool prevents braided lines from slipping under pressure. The reel features a lightweight and durable body made of superior carbon fiber, along with a handle with an EVA paddle grip. The brass pinion gear and alloy drive gear with a stainless steel insert ensure strength and durability. The reel's stainless steel hardware adds to its overall longevity.

Despite its robust features, the KastKing Zephyr 1000 is ultra lightweight. The carbon fiber constructed body, body cover, and rotor contribute to the reel's weight of only 5.3 oz. The oversized 7075-T6 aluminum alloy main shafts are light yet extremely strong, thanks to the alloy's high strength-to-weight ratio. This aluminum alloy is widely used in aircraft construction due to its durability.
