Specially engineered for offshore saltwater fishing. Kapstan Elite Spinning Reel is KastKing's highest level 100% Waterproof fishing reel at level of IPX6, with up to 15 EverSeal rubber rings to keep water out of the main gear. The KastKing Intrusion Shield System includes labyrinth-style greased sealing grooves that reduce rotational resistance and provide an innovative water-tight seal.
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.
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. The large power handle and knob are machined from solid aluminum to provide incredible cranking power. This spinning reel has the strongest overall design for offshore sport-fishing, deep-sea game fishing, and blue water fishing.
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.
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. And the high-capacity CNC aluminum spool has a braid-ready structure, so there's no need for back braiding when spooling.
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.
Bought the reel late last year. Got to use it this spring and all this year. Reel has held up very well.Caught Stripers up to 42 lbs from the surf. Drag smooth and reel solidly built. Paired with St Croix rod and 40lb suffex 832 braid great combination.
KastKing Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel
This is a great reel at a reasonable price. Very smooth and great drag. I fish mostly inshore on NC Outer Banks and this reel does very well on reds, specks and flounder. I fish a lot from kayaks and my reels get beat up and soaked from saltwater. This reel holds up very well.
Flat out, you will NOT find better Quality, Durability and Smoother function for the price! When you get one it will be obvious you love it because your other reels won't get used anymore.
Economical waterproof reel hopefully. Have caught fluke and stripper s but will give it the real test when I go surf fishing this fall.
