How KastKing is clearing a path in Europe with focus on tech

After two intense European tackle shows, EFTTEX and ANGELWELT, KastKing is setting the foundation to quickly become a key player in Europe’s angling markets. With a focus on highlighting its technology driven roots, KastKing is on a mission.

“We want the industry to know that KastKing is here to stay and that we are one of the most technology driven fishing brands in the industry,” commented Eric Knickerbocker, Business Director at KastKing. “At the last two shows, our main focus was on showcasing our industry firsts. We were, and still are, the first reel manufacturer to boast four industry firsts; we have the Smartest, Strongest, Lightest and Fastest reels on the market. Along with many other reels, rods, tools, lines and accessories, KastKing is proud to highlight these industry firsts.”

iREEL2 – the smartest fishing reel on the market
With an integrated Triton MCU Chip, iREEL2 is ‘intelligently changing the way you fish.’ Allowing for continuous monitoring of spool speed, the MCU chip provides stronger braking force and data processing capabilities. Incorporating six preset modes, iREEL 2 is designed for the most applicable fishing scenarios: Default, Skipping, Pitching & Flipping, Distance, Large Lures and Finesse.

Speed Demon Elite DEADBOLT – the strongest reel on the market
Incorporating an industry first – No Drag – DEADBOLT is completely locked down. The no drag design allows you to powerfully pull fish from the heaviest cover without the fear of your drag slipping. With spool-locking design, you will have unstoppable hook-sets and winching power to pull even the feistiest fish from underneath docks, rock piles or heavy vegetation. 

Kestrel – the lightest reel on the market
Weighing in at only 125g, Kestrel Elite is the lightest baitcasting reel on the market, allowing effortless casts of lightweight baits further and with greater accuracy while nearly eliminating backlashes. Don’t let the light weight fool you, Kestrel is still a little workhorse. Boasting a magnesium alloy frame that is 55% harder than carbon fibre, Kestrel is built to handle even the toughest fish.

Speed Demon Elite – the fastest reel on the market
Picks up line at a rate of 107cm per turn of the handle. Perfect for super-fast retrieves on reaction baits or for quick follow-up casts. It also works amazingly to pick up slack line when a fish blows up on the bait. Utilising a solid aluminum frame for zero flex and low weight, Speed Demon Elite is built for the most demanding conditions.     

“We want to send a clear message to our consumers… with so many industry firsts, it’s an angler’s one stop shop for all their baitcasting needs,” added Knickerbocker.
