Review: Brand New reel with scratch marks... otherwise,,, it's a 5 stars...well...will not affect the reel function...yet to try it out...am sure it good... hopefully..heehee... Review: Great first impressions of this reel but only time will tell. I surf fished it along side of my Diawa BG 4500, the BG is a much smoother reel but Kapstan is a sealed reel so it's to be expected that it won't be as smooth. The difference it small but noticeable. I fished it for a week straight and it worked flawlessly but coming in at the same price point as the BG, I would go with the BG, unless you are fishing in conditions that may require a sealed reel. In that case the Kapstan is a winner. I marked review down to a 4 due to the extreme difficulty getting any reel parts through Kastking, great part diagram with the reel but they don't seem to sell any parts for their reels. ## 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 | B09P4VHKZK | | Bearing Material Type | Stainless Steel, Polymer | | Bearing Number | 6 | | Brand Name | KastKing | | Color | IPX6-4000-Automatic Bail-5.7:1 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (239) | | Fishing Line Type | Braided | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 40 Pounds | | Fishing Technique | Trolling | | Gearbox Ratio | 5.7 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00618952975668 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Aluminium | | Item Weight | 1.46 Pounds | | Manufacturer | KastKing | | Material Type | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Carbon | | Model Name | Kapstan Elite | | Other Special Features of the Product | Anti-Reverse, Rust Resistant | | UPC | 618952975668 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KastKing - **Colour:** IPX6-4000-Automatic Bail-5.7:1 - **Fishing technique:** Trolling - **Hand orientation:** Ambidextrous - **Material:** Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Carbon ## Images ![KastKing 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) ![KastKing 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) ![KastKing 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) ![KastKing 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) ![KastKing 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) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***K on 8 October 2024* Brand New reel with scratch marks... otherwise,,, it's a 5 stars...well...will not affect the reel function...yet to try it out...am sure it good... hopefully..heehee... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***M on 24 September 2025* Great first impressions of this reel but only time will tell.

Very surprised with all components beside the anti reverse, it might not be perfect but the wabi sabi is what you need. The drag strength is actually on point. ## Frequently Bought Together - KastKing Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel, Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel, IPX6 Waterproof & Corrosion-Resistant Bearing System - Ideal Fishing Gifts for Saltwater Fishing - KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line - Abrasion Resistant Braided Lines – Incredible Superline – Zero Stretch – Smaller Diameter – A Must-Have! - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/491545184-kastking-kapstan-elite-saltwater-spinning-reel-ipx6-100-waterproof-up](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/491545184-kastking-kapstan-elite-saltwater-spinning-reel-ipx6-100-waterproof-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
