Built For Saltwater Fishing

The Kapstan Elite Spinning Reel is KastKing's top-tier waterproof fishing reel, rated at IPX6. It boasts 15 EverSeal rubber rings to prevent water from entering the main gear. The KastKing Intrusion Shield System, featuring grease-sealed labyrinth grooves, minimizes rotational friction while ensuring a reliable watertight seal.

Exceptionally Strong & Smooth Drag

This premium saltwater spinning reel is designed with a powerful braking force for reeling in Big 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 reeling in big game fish.

Super Strong Aluminum Body

Max-strength CNC aluminum frame construction. Sizes 3000/4000 have a carbon fiber rotor for strength with reduced weight. Sizes 5000/6000/8000 have a CNC Aluminum Rotor for extra-strength and power fishing.

Ultra-Smooth & Reliable

Each Kapstan Elite reel is equipped with 6 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings that provide a superbly smooth feel even in rough conditions. Plus one 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.

Aero-Space Quality Gears

Best-in-class HRB 90 high strength aerospace alloy pinion gear with manganese brass gear guarantees extreme durability and a smooth operation. These heavy-duty gears are 20% more durable than Aluminum and 95% more durable than zinc alloys.

CNC Aluminum Spool

The high-capacity CNC aluminum spool is designed to be "Braid Ready" so there is no need to back braided line with mono line when spooling.

Power Handle

The large power handle and knob are machined from solid aluminum and provide incredible cranking power for big, saltwater fish.

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.
