Product Details

Weighing in at an ultra-light 4.5 ounces, the Kestrel Baitcasting Reel combines feather-light design with rigid performance. The Kestrel Baitcasting Reel redefines angling with a host of premium features. Its TPE handle, meticulously designed for comfort, ensures a superior grip, turning every cast into a pleasure.

Equipped with the Finesse Optimized FAF (Flyout Arc Finesse) Braking system: 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.

Mastery in finesse extends to the Kestrel's shallow spool, a micro-marvel weighing only 5.6 grams. Perfectly suited for smaller diameter lines, this ultra-lightweight shallow feather spool enables anglers to cast down to an impressive 1/32 oz with minimal effort.

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 Reel is Great!

Bought two and they are great so far. Casting little bitty lures is great, very smooth drag, definitely feels like a much more expensive reel. Looking forward to trying out the Elite version.

It's been great!

It's ridiculously light. With the whole combo it feels like I'm holding air in my hands. The quality is top notch even with how light it is. I've taken it out fishing 4 times now and each time it's only gotten better. The only issue I've had (but have been correcting) is that I've had a few backlashes that have made my line snap. I switched to a heavier line and the issue happened once since then. The more I dial it in and the more I've used it, I've learned to be easier with it and still get the long casts that I want with it. It has not disappointed and I will continue to be a Kastking supporter.

It works great !! Caught a 14-in smallmouth today out of a small stream with it

Biggest trout of my entire life caught on the

Biggest trout of my entire life caught on the reel highly recommend

Best reel to cast light weight rigs

I liked the first reel so much that I bought two more of the same kind and rigged with slightly different line weights and rods. These three combos are most productive this summer and able to land good size fish.

Kestrel Review

The reel will absolutely cast down to 1/16oz very well! For 1/16oz I run the brakes on 0, so could have a problem with distance if you go lighter. I wish I would’ve bought the 7.5/1 instead of the 8.5/1, but it was sold out when I bought. Very smooth high quality reel and addicting!
