PERFECT REEL FOR FINESSE FISHING

The Kestrel Elite BFS (Bait Finesse System) baitcasting reel is the lightest on the market weighing only 4.4 ounces! This reel allows anglers to effortlessly cast lightweight baits farther with greater accuracy while nearly eliminating backlashes. Plus, the minimal weight and comfortable, compact size make the Kestrel Elite a breeze to fish with all day long!

ADVANCED BRAKING TECHNOLOGY

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.

INNOVATIVE SPOOL

The ultra-lightweight BFS shallow feather spool weighs only 5.6 grams! The smaller spool excels at handling the smaller diameter lines best suited for finesse fishing. The shallow spool requires less effort to turn and get up to speed, therefore enabling anglers to effectively cast lures down to 1/16 oz.

STRENGTH WITHOUT THE WEIGHT

The compact Palm Perfect design (36.5mm height) and magnesium frame reduces the total reel weight to only 4.4 oz. Although the reel is as light as a feather, it doesn't skimp on power. The main gear and shaft are constructed of hard anodized aluminum and linked to a 100% brass pinion gear. A carbon handle and side plates also keep the weight low while maintaining strength.

ADVANCED LINE GUIDE

The patented LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex) Line Guide decreases the angle at which the line enters the guide, limiting friction during casts. Straighter line and reduced friction results in fewer backlashes and greater distance on casts, both of which are qualities highly desirable among serious finesse anglers.

awesome reel

it took me a little while to get use to the reel but now i love it. throwing my favorite small crank bait right where i want.

This reel changed everything for me when it comes to weightless worms......I never have to use a spinning reel again. You can put the bait anywhere you want. Couldn't be happier! It's my 8th kastking reel.....and counting! I also had the chance to talk to the people at kastking at the redcrest event this year. AL Noaker (the president) spent about 45-1hr with me showing me things and taking the time to really chat. I can't say enough good things about this company! I'll be a customer for life!

Only BFS reel I’ve ever bought/used but I don’t know why I would buy any other. Amazed at the feel of this reel and how light it is. I recently took a fishing trip down to south Florida and REALLY put this to the test. Kast King would either be so proud, or frown upon me, but I went snakehead fishing with it. Unbelievably I was able to land this 6 lb snakehead on the Kestrel Elite with Kast Kings incredible 8 lb 13x finesse braid. Also just caught a 3.31 bass on a weightless fluke with it. BRAVO Kast king!!! Love what you guys are doing! Keep up the great work and I promise to give my Kastrel Elite a break from the River monsters.

Really enjoy fishing with this reel, I have been fishing BFS for years now and this has become my favorite reel. I will probably be buying a second one soon
