Features
- BUILT FOR SALTWATER FISHING: Dive into the world of saltwater angling with confidence. The Kapstan SE Saltwater Spinning Reel boasts IPX6 waterproof protection, enhanced by up to 15 EverSeal rubber rings positioned to thwart water intrusion and the labyrinth-style greased sealing grooves ensure a water-tight seal against the elements. The seamless one-piece bail, crafted with utmost precision, eliminates the risk of rusting or tangling with your fishing line, maximizing every cast and retrieve.
- TOUGH AND PREMINU COMPONENTS: The Kapstan SE is engineered to conquer the challenges of the sea. Experience the power of High Strength UltraDura 90 (HRB90) pinion gear and CNC ultra-high hardened manganese brass main gear (HRB80), outshining aluminum by 20% in durability and surpassing zinc alloys by a remarkable 95%. Combined with an extra-strong stainless steel main shaft, this reel delivers exceptional resistance for any battles.
- EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG AND SMOOTH DRAG: This reel offers versatile drag capabilities. Sizes 2500/3000/4000 feature an ultra-smooth triple-disc carbon fiber drag system, yielding a remarkable 30lbs of max drag. Sizes 5000/6000 incorporate four-disc carbon fiber drag system, delivering 40lbs of max drag. Size 8000 offers five carbon fiber discs, offering an impressive 55lbs of max drag.
- ROBUST BODY DESIGN: Crafted for resilience and power. The CNC aluminum frame construction flexes its muscle in the face of adversity, while the carbon fiber rotor reduces weight without compromising durability. Fortified by a die-cast aluminum handle arm and T-shaped handle knob that provide a secure grip for efficient retrieves and unyielding control. The high-capacity CNC braid-ready aluminum spool eliminates the need for mono backing when spooling braided lines.
- SMOOTH AD FAST RETRIEVE GEAR RATIO: Experience smooth operation in challenging conditions with 5 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings. A specially designed polymer roller bearing and an 8-pin stainless steel one-way bearing prevent reversals. Gear ratios vary across sizes: 2500/3000/4000 offer 6.2:1, 5000/6000 feature 5.7:1, and 8000 presents 5.2:1, ensuring both rapid and controlled retrievals.

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!

I recently picked up the KastKing Kapstan SE saltwater spinning reel, and after a few trips, I'm genuinely impressed. As a budget-conscious angler who still demands reliability, this reel has delivered. First off, the build quality is surprisingly robust for the price. The reel feels solid in hand, and the IPX6 waterproof rating gives me confidence when fishing in rough conditions. The drag system is smooth and powerful, handling some decent-sized fish with ease. I haven't had any issues with slippage or inconsistencies, which is crucial when battling strong saltwater species. The Kapstan SE's retrieve is also smooth, and the line lay is even. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially considering the price point. It's clear that KastKing has put effort into designing a reel that can withstand the rigors of saltwater fishing. A couple of minor things to note: It's a bit on the heavier side, which might be a consideration for some anglers, especially during long fishing sessions. Also, while the finish looks durable, only time will tell how it holds up to prolonged exposure to saltwater. Overall, I'm very happy with the KastKing Kapstan SE. It's a solid performer that offers excellent value for the money. If you're looking for a reliable saltwater spinning reel without breaking the bank, this one is definitely worth considering. Pros: * Excellent value for the price * Robust build quality * Smooth and powerful drag system * IPX6 waterproof rating * Smooth retrieve and even line lay Cons: * Slightly heavier than some other reels * Long-term durability of finish is yet to be determined Highly recommend for anglers looking for a budget friendly saltwater reel.

Size: 2500
I took a chance on this "off-brand" reel because of its brass gears, carbon fiber drag washers, aluminum body, one-piece bail, and its internal seals which are meant to keep water out. I bought the 2500 size to use for redfish and speckled trout on the Texas coast. The reel arrived in perfect condition in a very nice box and is a beautiful piece of machinery. I immediately noticed that it is quite a bit heavier and a little larger than my Lew's Inshore 3000 reels. I loaded it with 30# Windtamer braided line, put it on a new 7' Falcon Coastal XG rod, and hit the water. Due to its weight, it feels a bit out of balance on the rod, and all that weight also makes it less sensitive than a lightweight combo. I would NOT want to lug this heavy thing around all day wade fishing with light lures. But on this first run I was fishing from the boat with live shrimp under a popping cork where light weight and sensitivity are not as important. The reel casts beautifully. The anti-reverse is solid with no slack, which made for solid hookups on fish. The drag was smooth as silk. The 55# max drag resistance is way more than you'll ever need for a reel this size, but whatever. I only give it 4 stars because the 2500 is bigger than it should be and is larger than I prefer, and the weight of it makes the rod/reel combo feel unbalanced. But overall it is a good reel for the money in my opinion.

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!

I've got a bunch of rods and reels. Most are off the rack$100 and below. This steps things up to another level. Incredibly smooth and quiet. Seems to be a locked reel, it doesn't reel in reverse. Large handle mid sized. It's well made, very greased up.

Great reel and a great company. I couldn’t be happier with this fishing reel! Right out of the box, it felt solid and well-made. The build quality is impressive, and it has a nice weight without being too heavy. Very smooth.
