Kapstan Elite Spinning Reel is KastKings 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.

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.

    • Excellent feature set for the price... compare features to see what a great value this reel is.
Color: B:Cyan-High Speed-IPX6 Size: 3000 Automatic Bail
Some reels are listed as "salt water" reels because they use corrosion-resistant parts. This reel takes it to another level by also having waterproof seals that keep salt water out. The reel even has an IPX6 rating. The multi-disk carbon drag system is similar (or superior) to the aftermarket upgrades I've paid extra to add to other reels. It is buttery smooth but can apply some serious pressure! (30lbs. in the case of my 3000 size... that's double what my trusty Penn Battle has!) The shielded stainless steel ball bearings are in the right places to insure strength and smoothness, like on both sides of the crank and at the top and bottom of the spool. The gears are premium manganese-brass alloy. The reel body is aluminum. This reel is a tiny bit larger and heavier than some in its class. For just two ounces more weight than my old favorite saltwater 3000-size reel, this reel offers more bearings, an IPX6 waterproof rating, better gears, and double the drag stopping power. And I think it looks great, too. So far, I think this reel is unbeatable in its price range. If everything performs as expected, it should be a big winner! Time will tell, and I'll update my review with any positive or negative revelations. ... show more

Very impressive reel through and through! It came beautifully and well packaged. When I opened the box I immediately noticed how huge this reel was. However, it was amazingly balanced in the hand. Every component of the reel feels solid and over built in the best way possible. The action is buttery and has a beast of a drag! I took this reel on a two day fishing trip around Catalina Island and put it through a torture test. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this reel. Everything about this reel is buttery smooth. I was able to out cast and out fish everyone on the boat! I fly lined sardines, threw surface irons and fished 100 feet of water. This reel handled it all like a dream. I took down barracuda, sand bass, calico bass, sheep head and even a few yellowtail with ease! Even the deck hands on the boat were so impressed with the reel they I asked I send them the link! Buy this reel, you will LOVE IT! ... show more

    • Solid reel!
Color: B:Cyan-High Speed-IPX6 Size: 4000 Automatic Bail
I purchased this reel out of curiosity about the quality and performance. I have not used it fishing yet but plan to in the next two weeks and will update my review at that time. The reel arrived on time and well packaged. It has a great look and feel to it with very smooth cranking and bail closure. It seems balanced and the finish is really nice. It is set up so it can be used for right or left handed cranking. One minor thing is that I travel a lot and wish it had an extra cover for where the crank handle attaches. This would protect it from dust and protect my gear from the grease if the handle is off of the reel. The reality is that I will travel with it in the box as it is set up to protect the reel! Once again, nice reel and I look forward to getting line on it next week and then getting out on the water to test it more thoroughly! ... show more

Haven't used it yet so I'll have to update this later but this thing feels like a block of steel in a good way. Incredibly solid. No wiggles, no jingles, no clattering. Everything feels finished and machined well.

    • WOW! This reel is a TANK…
Color: A:Gun Metal-IPX6 Size: 3000 Automatic Bail
Review Image by Kirk Palmer Kirk Palmer
The media could not be loaded. WOW! 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! ... show more

    • Not worth the money.

Review Image by seameares seameares
I don't know that I've ever written a poor review, but this product deserves it. Out of the box, the reel is sleek and smooth. It's not until you line the spool do you realize the line isn't evenly distributed on the spool. It's bunched up at the bottom of the spool, limiting the capacity of the reel. This also causes a reduction in casting distance. The spool is also very rough at the top which inhibits the line from peeling off the reel. The 2nd time I cast the line, it formed an awful nest that was impossible to untangle. Lastly, the bail contacts the drag screw on the top of the spool when the spool is at its peak height. This should NEVER happen on any reel, much less one that costs $150. Do not purchase this reel. ... show more
