BUILT FOR SALTWATER FISHING
The Kapstan Elite Spinning Reel is KastKing's top-tier waterproof fishing reel, rated at IPX6. It boasts 15 EverSeal rubber rings to prevent water from entering the main gear. The KastKing Intrusion Shield System, featuring grease-sealed labyrinth grooves, minimizes rotational friction while ensuring a reliable watertight seal.
EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG & SMOOTH DRAG
This premium saltwater spinning reel is designed with a powerful braking force for reeling in Big Fish. Sizes 3000/4000 have an ultra-smooth triple-disc carbon fiber drag system and 30lbs max drag; 5000/6000 have a quad-disc carbon fiber drag system with 40lbs max drag; 8000 have a special double drag system, that consist of five front carbon fiber discs and one oversized spool carbon disc, to provide 55lbs max drag. Perfect for reeling in big game fish.
SUPER STRONG ALUMINUM BODY
Max-strength CNC aluminum frame construction. Sizes 3000/4000 have a carbon fiber rotor for strength with reduced weight. Sizes 5000/6000/8000 have a CNC Aluminum Rotor for extra-strength and power fishing.
ULTRA-SMOOTH & RELIABLE
Each Kapstan Elite reel is equipped with 6 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings that provide a superbly smooth feel even in rough conditions. Plus one special-designed polymer roller bearing that is high-strength and never rust, and one 8-pin stainless steel one-way bearing to prevent the flywheel from reversing.
AERO-SPACE QUALITY GEARS
Best-in-class HRB 90 high strength aerospace alloy pinion gear with manganese brass gear guarantees extreme durability and a smooth operation. These heavy-duty gears are 20% more durable than Aluminum and 95% more durable than zinc alloys.
CNC ALUMINUM SPOOL
The high-capacity CNC aluminum spool is designed to be "Braid Ready" so there is no need to back braided line with mono line when spooling.
POWER HANDLE
The large power handle and knob are machined from solid aluminum and provide incredible cranking power for big, saltwater fish.
ATTENTION-MANUAL BAIL DESIGN
To reduce line twist, we always recommend manually closing the bail arm after making a cast when using any spinning reel. However, on the size 3000 & 4000 Kapstan Elite Spinning reels, you can turn the handle to close the bail if you prefer. The size 5000/6000 & 8000 Kapstan Elite spinning reels are a different design. These reels require you to manually close the bail to begin the retrieve.

Reviews
The KastKing Kapstan Elite is one of the best spinning reels I've ever used. The 6000 handled multiple Amberjacks up to 60 pounds flawlessly with one of the smoothest drag systems on the market. AMAZING product
Smooth drag. Great to fish with all day inshore. Wish they made one in a 2000 or 2500 series. Will be purchasing another one soon
I have several Kastking spinning reels and I am well pleased with the performance of these reels. I recently purchased the 6000 Kapstan Elite and I’m looking forward to see how this one will perform. It has a very smooth action and it seems to be very well made. My next kastking will probably be the 8000.
This reel is amazing. I got the kapstan 8000 size and it holds tons of line and has a strong drag. The reel is super smooth and has an aluminum body. Compared to other reels with the same features I’d be paying way over 300 dollars. Kastking really hit it out of the ball park with this reel. It is affordable innovation. I really recommend this reel if you’re looking to get an ipx rated reel that won’t break the bank.
