About this item
- The two-piece rod uses a lightweight, high-modulus KastFlex IM7 graphite blank and includes a spare tip. KastKing's PTS connection is intended to transfer load between sections with a feel resembling a one-piece rod. The blank is designed to combine strength with bite sensitivity.
- Zirconium oxide inserts in stainless steel guides help line travel with less friction. The rod also has a fitted reel seat, nonslip EVA grips and an integrated patented hook keeper for controlled, comfortable handling. These features are intended to support longer, smoother casts and reduce fatigue during extended use.
- The baitcaster retrieves at 7.3:1 for techniques such as pitching, flipping and working reaction baits. Its gearing combines an 80 HRB T6 aluminum main gear with a manganese-brass pinion; the reel also has 9+1 MaxiDur bearings and up to 17.6 lb of drag. The gear materials are chosen for durable high-speed use, and the bearing system supports smooth casting and retrieval.
- Halo XII braking arranges 12 magnets into a continuous magnetic ring. This design controls spool speed to improve casting consistency, support casting distance and limit backlashes.
- The reel weighs 7 oz and has a 39 mm low-profile body. Its 100 mm aluminum handle has TPE knobs; a drag clicker provides sound during a run, while the Swing-Wing cover and Ergo-Twist release give access to the spool. The compact body is shaped for comfortable palming, and the long handle supplies cranking leverage and control.
