Features
- + BUILT FOR SALTWATER: Specially engineered for offshore saltwater fishing. Kapstan Elite High Speed Spinning Reel is KastKing’s highest end 100% Waterproof fishing reel at IPX6 level, 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.
- + ULTRA-SMOOTH, FAST & RELIABLE: Kapstan Elite saltwater spinning reel is equipped with 6 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings that provide a superbly smooth feel even in rough conditions. Plus 3 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. Size 3000-4000 offer 6.2:1 faster retrieve, size 5000-6000 offers 5.7:1 and size 8000 provides 4.9:1 gear ratio.
- + EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG & SMOOTH DRAG: This premium saltwater spinning reel is designed with a powerful braking force for hard fighting 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 saltwater, big game fish.
- + AERO-SPACE QUALITY GEARS: Best-in-class HRB 90 high strength aerospace alloy pinion gear with manganese brass gear guarantees extreme durability and 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 to add mono backing when spooling braided line. Plus, the seamless one-piece bail will never get rusted or caught on fishing line.
- + Attention – Manual Bail Design: 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.
- + Please Note - Turning the handle will not close the bail automatically. This is a performance feature on larger saltwater reels and not a defect in the design. Simply make your cast and manually close the bail to begin your retrieve.
