## Description



## 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.
- 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 offer a CNC Aluminum Rotor for extra-strength in fishing. The large power handle and knob are machined from solid aluminum to provide incredible cranking power. This spinning reel has the strongest overall design for offshore sport-fishing, deep-sea game fishing, and blue water fishing. Great for monster fish in freshwater also
- 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it, Great Reel
*by A***R on August 4, 2025*

It’s tough, shockingly smooth, and built like a fortress against saltwater—yet friendly to your wallet. From beach sessions catching sharks and rays to deep offshore battles, this reel stands up reliably.Whether you’re a beginner or experienced angler, the Kapstan delivers unmatched value. It’s not just good—it’s a smart, capable reel that exceeds expectations every cast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality with a good value
*by C***  on August 14, 2025*

This is a first impression review out of the box. I’m new to inshore fishing and wanted to get my hands on some salt rated gear for not a lot of money, and the kapstan does not disappoint. There are very few spots for water intrusion, and while it’s smooth, it doesn’t seem like there are too many bearings to get jammed up with corrosion down the line.This reel looks great, with its black and blue theme, and the packaging kept it safe to my door. I can’t wait to put it to work on some flounder and trout!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Super Smooth reel! Highly Recommended!
*by R***G on May 26, 2025*

I'm thrilled with its performance. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell this was a quality piece of equipment, and it has certainly lived up to that first impression out on the water.The first thing that struck me is just how incredibly smooth this reel is. Casting is an absolute dream, with the line flowing effortlessly and consistently. The retrieve is equally impressive – silky smooth with no hitches or grinding, making it a pleasure to use all day long. This smoothness undoubtedly contributes to longer, more accurate casts.The reel easy to use. Even if you're newer to baitcasters, the braking system is intuitive and easy to adjust, significantly reducing backlashes and allowing for quick adaptation to different lure weights and wind conditions. The ergonomic design feels comfortable in hand, and all the controls are conveniently placed and operate crisply.I've been thoroughly impressed with the build quality and the overall fishing experience this reel provides. It handles fish confidently and has quickly become one of my go-to reels.I would definitely recommend this reel to anyone looking for a high-performing, smooth, and user-friendly option. It's a fantastic value for the money, and I would certainly buy it again!
