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.

Kestrel

As of now I have used the reel twice. I put it on my work rod to flip and make short casts. Once I got it dialed in I am very happy with how it is working. I'm also very surprised how light it is compared to what I was using. I would recommend this reel to others.

Great Little BFS Reel

Bought this reel to see if I would like to get into BFS fishing. Initially, even though I'd been fishing regular baitcasters for about 10 years, I had quite a few backlashs with the reel. However, after some fine tweeking, and gaining some experience with the reel, I really love it. I paired it with a Handing Magic L 6' light rod and it purrs. Using 6lb braid I can cast a 1/16oz lure about 50'. The drag works very well, and I really like the drag click. Highly recommend.

I've landed two smallmouth over three pounds with this setup. Can't wait for the winter trout fishing to try it out.
