Weighing in at just 4.4 ounces, the magnesium-framed KastKing Kestrel Elite Bait Finesse Casting Reel is a mighty reel loaded with features for Bait Finesse System (BFS) fishing setups. With a magnesium frame, the Kestrel Elite is light as a feather but doesn't skimp on power. The main gear and shaft are constructed of hard anodized aluminum and linked to a 100% brass pinion gear. Effortlessly cast lightweight baits farther and with greater accuracy thanks to the FAF (Flyout Arc Finesse) Braking system designed specifically for finesse fishing. This braking system employs two half-ring magnetic brakes that automatically adjust to slow down the spool when braking is needed to prevent backlashes. As the speed of the spool decreases, the magnetic field inside the spool diminishes and the magnets retract to maximize casting distance. The ultra-lightweight BFS shallow feather spool weighs only 5.6 grams and excels at handling the smallest diameter lines best suited for finesse fishing. As the line flows off the reel it travels through KastKing's patented LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex) Line Guide that decreases the angle at which the line enters the guide, limiting friction during casts.
