Perfect For Finesse Fishing

Weighing in at an ultra-light 4.5 ounces, the Kestrel Baitcasting Reel combines feather-light design with rigid performance. The carbon fiber frame and side covers empower anglers to effortlessly cast lightweight baits with extended accuracy, virtually eliminating backlashes. The Palm Perfect Design at 37.5mm ensures a comfortable fishing experience all day long.

Shallow Spool Mastery

The Kestrel features an ultra-lightweight shallow feather spool weighing only 5.6 grams. This micro-spool excels at handling smaller diameter lines, perfect for finesse fishing. With minimal effort, the shallow spool accelerates swiftly, enabling anglers to effectively cast lures down to an impressive 1/32 oz.

Finesse - Optimized Braking

The FAF (Flyout Arc Finesse) Braking system was designed specifically for finesse fishing. Two half-ring magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool when braking is needed to prevent backlashes. As the speed of the spool decreases, the magnetic field inside the spool diminishes and the magnets retract to maximize casting distance. There is also an external fingertip brake adjustment dial for fine tuning spool speeds for smaller baits.

Smooth And Fast Precision

Indulge in an unmatched smooth retrieve with 11+1 MaxiDur Double Shielded Stainless Steel Ball Bearings. Unleash the extraordinary performance of the 7.5:1 and 8.4:1 high-speed gear ratio, a testament to durability with precision-crafted aluminum main gear, brass pinion gear, and aluminum main gear shaft. This Baitcasting reel seamlessly blends smoothness and speed for an exceptional angling experience that stands the test of time.

kastKing

Impressive Power And Castability

The patented LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex) Line Guide decreases the angle at which the line enters the guide, limiting friction during casts. A straighter line and reduced friction result in fewer backlashes and greater distance on casts, both of which are qualities highly desirable among serious finesse anglers. Experience up to 12 lbs of smooth drag that provides plenty of fish-stopping power and the audible drag clicker also gives you feedback.

Wonderful Reels

I purchased a Kastking Bassinator last year as they were being phased out to make room for a new model. After setting the reel up and making a few minor adjustments the reel was casting as well as any reel I own at 3-4 times the cost. At that point I wished I had purchased two.
I was fishing last summer with a fishing guide on Lake Norman with my Bassinator reel and the guide was so impressed he wanted to know who made the reel. I told him KASTKING, he said he owned and used several of the “Rovers” for catfish while guiding.
After returning home several weeks later I purchased the Kastking Kestrel Bait Finesse Bait Caster, that reel is amazing as well. The Bassinator has a stronger drag, put the BFS is outstanding for throwing lighter baits. On a three-week fishing trip to Ontario both reels worked flawlessly. Each reel has its place in my fishing arsenal. The Bassinator was great for throwing spinner baits for Bass and Pike and the BFS was great for drop shot and jigs fishing. Either reel would make a great addition to your fishing cache.

Very good

The lightest baitcaster reel I own, paired it with a light rod total weight 8.5 oz. The breaking system is better than other reels I own. Overall a good buy for sure.
