KastKing Kestrel 1000 Spin Finesse System Ultralight Spinning Reel

Featherlight Finesse Performance

The KastKing Kestrel SFS Ultralight Spinning Reel is built for finesse fishing, weighing in at just 4.6 oz—the lightest in its class. Its full carbon fiber frame, paired with aerospace-grade aluminum components, delivers strength without excess weight, giving you a reel that feels balanced and effortless on any finesse rod.

Despite its compact size, the Kestrel packs surprising power. A triple carbon drag system delivers up to 10 lbs of smooth stopping force, while the 7075 aluminum main shaft, 2014 aluminum drive gear, and solid brass pinion gear ensure long-term durability. Its shallow-cut braid-ready spool and patented design reduce friction, improving casting distance and line management.

Engineered with premium details like Double Sliding Stabilizer Rods (D.S.S.R.), an aerodynamic carbon rotor, and a direct-drive aluminum handle, the Kestrel offers the precision and performance needed for clear-water or highly pressured fisheries. With a 6.2:1 gear ratio and 28.4 inches per turn, it balances speed with torque—perfect for bass, trout, crappie, and panfish.
