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
I should have looked at weight profile prior to order. My primary real vendors are Daiwa Saltist,
Shimano stradic and shimano vanfords.
I wont put this reel to use. Like Penn Slammer, just too heavy for flats wade days when im throwing a few hundred times in a 5-7 hour tide set
I have 3 of these kapstan elite reels in my ever expanding arsenal. IMO they will be a contender in the saltwater fishing game. These are some well built reels. I have the 6k paired with a modified kong. (Sorry kastking, the rod builder in me, has been wanting a crixus surf rod lol.)
Very solid reel can’t wait to use it
I can cast as far as I can see and I’m limited to spool size. So I use the smaller reel for freshwater fishing. I am definitely buying the 8000 series of their saltwater line. Can’t wait to use this one!
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
