What KastKing Fishing Rods Use American Tackle Components?
KastKing Fishing Rods use some of the best components on the market. Award winning companies like American Tackle have dominated the tackle industry and it was only a matter of time until KastKing started utilizing their components.
Why KastKing Chose American Tackle
If you have been online in the past few years you might already know that American Tackle has reinvented fishing rod guide design. They are most famous for their Microwave Line Control System. The Microwave Line Control System is the most awarded technology in the fishing industry. It has won a total of six worldwide industry awards to include two ICAST awards. ICAST is the most recognizable amongst most anglers.
Benefits of the Microwave Guide System
The Microwave Guides provide a lot of benefits. By having total line control your fishing rods will perform much better. Total line control means they tackle coiling-memory issues and oscillating line. What does that mean? Look your regular spinning rod setup. Have you even noticed how much the fishing line whips around while casting? By controlling the line, there is an increase in casting distance, accuracy and overall performance. Plenty of times I have had to deal with wind knot tangles on my setups. This comes from using braid in windy situations. The Microwave Guides eliminate wind knot tangling. That alone is worth it in my book.

Everything from targeting crappie, bass fishing and trout fishing plus added lengths and actions to handle inshore fishing.
KastKing Estuary inshore saltwater fishing rods are another in the KastKing lineup that utilize American Tackle Components.
