The KastKing Kestrel SFS Spinning Reel is hailed as the ideal spinning reel for finesse fishing built for strength without the weight. The KastKing Kestrel 1000 SFS Carbon Body Spinning Reel weighs 4.6 oz. because of its full carbon fiber frame and rotor and maximum use of aluminum components. A Kestrel SFS spinning reel delivers full power for cranking from its aluminum main shaft and the drive gear, a shallow-cut aluminum braid-ready spool, and a pinion gear made of solid brass. Like its apparent namesake in North America's littlest falcon, Kestrels are small, light, yet quick, and strong. Carbon fiber drag washers also help to reduce the overall weight and provide 10 lbs. of stopping power on a reel with a gear ratio of 6.2:1. The Kestrel fishing reel balances torque and speed, retrieves at an IPT of 28.4 inches, and offers a patented spool design for better line control. Plus, the aerodynamic reel rotor significantly reduces resistance and enhances the reel's overall performance. For a great choice when targeting bass, trout, crappies, and other panfish, soar higher with a KastKing Kestrel SFS reel! Full carbon fiber frame, along with the maximum use of 7075 & 6061 aluminum components, keep the reel's weight to the absolute minimumCarbon fiber drag washers deliver 10 lbs of smooth stopping powerPatented spool design limits line friction and improves casting distance and line controlBalances well on any finesse fishing rod and is a great choice for targeting bass, trout, crappies, and other panfish
