That was my response upon receiving my two new Kastking Kapstan 3000 Spinning Reels… This reel is a TANK… I plan to pair them with my two Kastking Inshore Estuary Rods, and I suspect this will be a wonderful marriage… 10/12/2022 Update... Finally able to use the reel on an inshore Redfish excursion... Passed with flying colors... See photo and video.... The Kapstan Series of spinning reels are exclusively for Saltwater fishing hence the IPX6 waterproof rating. The reel boasts a 5.7.1 gear ratio and in the 3000 – 4000 series a max drag rating of 30 pounds! 30 pounds is more than enough drag power for the inshore species such as Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Sea Trout, Flounder, and the occasional Snook thrown in for good measure. I mentioned this reel is a Tank… It is; however, in the 3000 to 4000 series it’s not too heavy in my opinion. Paired with my 7’ Inshore Estuary Series Rods the whole set-up weighs in just under 19 ounces. Even casting artificials, it’s not going to wear you out. I set my reels up with Kastking’s Destron Braid (15lb test) and did a drag check. The drag was super smooth and did not have any glitches. After testing the drag, while using a digital scale, I set the drag for 3.5 lbs. (roughly 22% of the line’s poundage rating). I found that precisely setting your drag for 20% to 30% of your lines poundage rating is the key to not snapping off when fighting a good size fish. The reel, although heavy duty, is aesthetically pleasing to look at. It’s made very well with both carbon and aluminum materials. This looks to be another homerun by Kastking, and time will tell. At face value, the Kapstan Spinning Reel series is a winner… Paired with a Kastking Inshore Estuary series rod, and Kastking Braided line, it’s sure to strike fear into all inshore species! Review: Heavy reel - Very smooth and robust. Heavier than I expected when compared to a saltist, slammer, etc. Good build quality and is sealed, have had no issues from stripers to flathead catfish. ## Features - Built for Saltwater Fishing: Specially engineered for offshore saltwater fishing. Kapstan Elite Spinning Reel is KastKing’s highest level 100% Waterproof fishing reel at level of IPX6, 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. - 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. 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. - 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. And the high-capacity CNC aluminum spool has a braid-ready structure, so there’s no need for back braiding when spooling. - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09P4TJPQ3 | | Bearing Material Type | Aluminium | | Bearing Number | 7 | | Brand | KastKing | | Brand Name | KastKing | | Colour | IPX6-3000-Automatic Bail-5.7:1 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 77 Reviews | | Fishing Line Type | Braided,Mono | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 30 Pounds | | Fishing Technique | Spinning | | Fishing technique | Spinning | | Gearbox Ratio | 5.7 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00618952975651 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hand orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Rubber | | Item Highlight | Max Drag: 30 lb, 6+1+1 BB, 13.9 oz, Aluminum Frame, Elite, IPX6 Waterproof, Corrosion-Resistant, Big Game, For Saltwater | | Item Weight | 567 g | | Item weight | 567 g | | Line Capacity | 30/300 | | Manufacturer | KastKing | | Manufacturer Part Number | KK-KPE SP-1 | | Material | Aluminium , Carbon | | Material Type | Aluminium, Carbon | | Model Name | Kastking Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel | | Model Number | KK-KPE SP-1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Anti-Reverse, Rust Resistant | | Size | 3000 | | UPC | 618952975651 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KastKing - **Hand orientation:** Ambidextrous - **Colour:** IPX6-3000-Automatic Bail-5.7:1 - **Material:** Aluminium, Carbon - **Fishing technique:** Spinning - **Item weight:** 567 g - **Gearbox ratio:** 5.7 - **Special feature:** Anti-Reverse, Rust Resistant - **Model name:** Kastking Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel - **Handle material:** Rubber ## Images ![Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel - IPX6 100% Waterproof Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel - CNC Aluminum Body - Power Handle, 6+1+1 Corrosion-Resistance Bearing System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kbZqZDgnL.jpg) ![Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel - IPX6 100% Waterproof Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel - CNC Aluminum Body - Power Handle, 6+1+1 Corrosion-Resistance Bearing System - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pQSscqU3L.jpg) ![Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel - IPX6 100% Waterproof Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel - CNC Aluminum Body - Power Handle, 6+1+1 Corrosion-Resistance Bearing System - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jRw34N+pL.jpg) ![Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel - IPX6 100% Waterproof Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel - CNC Aluminum Body - Power Handle, 6+1+1 Corrosion-Resistance Bearing System - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EIcxc29FL.jpg) ![Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Reel - IPX6 100% Waterproof Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel - CNC Aluminum Body - Power Handle, 6+1+1 Corrosion-Resistance Bearing System - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nxZBh-9YL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are the KastKing kapstan Elite spinning reels all manual bail designs?** A: No, 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 is automatic bail trip, 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, which require you to manually close the bail to begin the retrieve. **Q: why won't it cast more than about 30 feet for me with heavy lure and makes a lot of news on retrieve using 20 lb test?** A: Depends on what type of rod you are using. Need to be sure that you are using a spinning rod and not a casting rod. The difference is spinning rods have bigger eyes at the reel end and they get smaller as they go towards the tip. Bait casting rods have small eyes all the way down. Are you flipping the bell ? If you have all of this correct then apparently there is a problem with the reel. I love mine and I use it for surf fishing. I cast mine 200 feet with a 4 ounce weight and leader easy **Q: So are the bearings double sealed or shielded?** A: I don't know... I didn't disect them... I'm sending them both back due to the line lay... they offered washers to correct it but I've never had to do that before on any reel and I don't feel it'd right that they don't mention the washers in their description of the reels... It would have saved me the trouble of sending them back because I wouldn't have ordered the reels.. **Q: Is the 3000 really 13.9 oz in weight? That seems heavy to me.** A: The weight is accurate. I have paired mine with a 7'0" Kastking Estuary MH rod. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! This reel is a TANK… *by K***R on 25 May 2022* WOW!
