Capt. Dale Nemeth Jr
The Kastking Kapstan Elite Saltwater series reel is a beast! I literally tried to break it, and it took a beating with ease.
Capt. Paul Fisicaro
They’ve stood the test of time like no other reel I’ve used in 29 years of guiding.
I had all my other guide buddies order them and they are also blown away.

The only reel under $200 that will last. Tried tested and proven month after month.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1.
How do I choose the right saltwater reel?
Start with where you fish, what you target, and the size of your tackle. For lighter inshore fishing and smaller species, a 2500–4000 size reel is typically a good choice, offering a balance of weight, line capacity, and control. For larger inshore species and nearshore fishing, consider a 5000–6000 size reel for additional line capacity and drag power. For offshore fishing and larger game fish, an 8000-size or larger reel provides the extra capacity, power, and control needed for longer runs and stronger fish.
Also consider your line type and strength, lure or bait weight, and target species before choosing your reel size.

2.
What should I look for in a saltwater reel?
Look for four key factors: water protection, gear strength, drag performance, and corrosion resistance. A well-built saltwater reel should help keep water out, withstand heavy loads, deliver smooth and consistent drag, and resist the corrosive effects of saltwater. The Titan Collection is engineered around these demands to give anglers confidence on the water.
3.
How do I care for my reel after saltwater fishing?
After every saltwater trip, gently rinse your reel with fresh water to remove salt and debris. Avoid high-pressure water, which can force water into the reel. Dry the reel thoroughly and store it in a cool, dry place. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help keep your reel performing at its best.
