However, on the size 3000 & 4000 Kapstan Elite Spinning reels is automatic bail trip, you can turn the handle to close the bail if you prefer. The size 5000/6000/8000 Kapstan Elite spinning reels are a different design, which require you to manually close the bail to begin the retrieve. **Q: why won't it cast more than about 30 feet for me with heavy lure and makes a lot of news on retrieve using 20 lb test?** A: Depends on what type of rod you are using. Need to be sure that you are using a spinning rod and not a casting rod. The difference is spinning rods have bigger eyes at the reel end and they get smaller as they go towards the tip. Bait casting rods have small eyes all the way down. Are you flipping the bell ? If you have all of this correct then apparently there is a problem with the reel. I love mine and I use it for surf fishing. I cast mine 200 feet with a 4 ounce weight and leader easy **Q: So are the bearings double sealed or shielded?** A: I don't know... I didn't disect them... I'm sending them both back due to the line lay... they offered washers to correct it but I've never had to do that before on any reel and I don't feel it'd right that they don't mention the washers in their description of the reels... It would have saved me the trouble of sending them back because I wouldn't have ordered the reels.. **Q: Is the 3000 really 13.9 oz in weight? That seems heavy to me.** A: The weight is accurate. I have paired mine with a 7'0" Kastking Estuary MH rod. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice. I'd buy it again *by M***G on July 30, 2025* I've got a bunch of rods and reels. Most are off the rack$100 and below. This steps things up to another level. Incredibly smooth and quiet. Seems to be a locked reel, it doesn't reel in reverse. Large handle mid sized. It's well made, very greased up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solid reel. *by T***S on May 17, 2026* Strong and sturdy reel. Well made and reliable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally satisfied *by J***U on March 5, 2024* Bought this to do some fishing from the dock where I was staying in the FL Keys. Easily handled a 5 ft nurse shark but even more surprising it landed a 4 ft tarpon that must have weighted over 40 pounds. Granted it took me 6 hook ups before finally getting the beast to the boat ramp. With the drag cranked up I was able to pull him enough to keep him from running under the dock and cutting me off with the pilings. Outstanding reel especially at this price point. I've bought several other Kastking reels but they were smaller fresh water reels which are OK but I wouldn't buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - KastKing Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel, Up to 55LBs Max Drag Big Game Fishing Reel, IPX6 Waterproof & Corrosion-Resistant Bearing System - Ideal Fishing Gifts for Saltwater Fishing - KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line - Abrasion Resistant Braided Lines – Incredible Superline – Zero Stretch – Smaller Diameter – A Must-Have! - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/432747569-kastking-kapstan-and-elite-saltwater-spinning-fishing-reels](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/432747569-kastking-kapstan-and-elite-saltwater-spinning-fishing-reels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
