KastKing Kapstan Elite HS Saltwater Spinning Reel

Simplified Feature Rundown

BOAT OUT AND EXPLORE WITH THE KAPSTAN SE: Dive into saltwater fishing with ease. The Kapstan SE Spinning Reel is specifically designed for the demands of marine angling. Equipped with IPX6 waterproof protection, it features up to 15 EverSeal rubber rings to prevent water intrusion. The labyrinth-style greased sealing grooves ensure a tight, water-tight seal. The seamless one-piece bail, made with precise engineering, avoids rusting or tangling, enhancing every cast and retrieve.

TOUGH AND DURABLE: Build for the sea, the Kapstan SE uses High Strength UltraDura 90 pinion gear and CNC ultra-high hardened manganese brass main gear. These components exceed aluminum by 20% in durability and significantly outperform zinc alloys by 95%. Paired with an extra-strong stainless steel main shaft, the reel provides unmatched resistance during intense fishing battles.

SMART DURATION AND SMOOTH DRAG: Whether you’re fishing with a 2500/3000/4000 or a 5000/6000 size, you’ll benefit from versatile drag capabilities. Models 2500/3000/4000 boast an ultra-smooth triple-disc carbon fiber drag system, allowing for a maximum of 30lbs of drag. The 5000/6000 sizes feature a robust four-disc carbon fiber drag system, providing up to 40lbs of drag. The 8000 size offers an impressive five carbon fiber discs with a max drag of 55lbs.

ROBUST AND DURABLE: Crafted for resilience, the Kapstan SE features a CNC aluminum frame that flexes in harsh conditions. A carbon fiber rotor reduces weight while maintaining durability. The die-cast aluminum handle arm and T-shaped handle knob provide a secure grip, ensuring efficient retrieves and control. The high-capacity CNC braid-ready aluminum spool eliminates the need for mono backing when spooling braided lines.

SMOOTH AND FAST: Experience smooth operation in challenging conditions with 5 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings. The specially designed polymer roller bearing and an 8-pin stainless steel one-way bearing prevent reversals. Gear ratios vary across sizes: 2500/3000/4000 models offer a 6.2:1 ratio, 5000/6000 models use a 5.7:1 ratio, while the 8000 size presents a 5.2:1 ratio, ensuring both rapid and controlled retrieves.
