Informative Summary

DIVE INTO SALTSWATER FISHING WITH THE KAPSTAN SE SALTWATER SPINNING REEL

Braving the salty waves with confidence? The Kapstan SE Saltwater Spinning Reel is designed for every angler ready to fish in the unforgiving environment of the ocean. Featuring IPX6 waterproof protection, this reel keeps your gear safe from saltwater intrusion. Up to 15 EverSeal rubber rings and labyrinth-style greased sealing grooves ensure a watertight seal, safeguarding your investment.

TOUGH AND PREMIUM COMPONENTS

Engineered for durability, the Kapstan SE is built to handle the sea. High Strength UltraDura 90 (HRB90) pinion gear and CNC ultra-high hardened manganese brass main gear (HRB80) outshine aluminum by 20% in durability and surpass zinc alloys by 95%. The extra-strong stainless steel main shaft provides excellent resistance in any battle.

EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG AND SMOOTH DRAG

The Kapstan SE reel offers versatile and robust drag capabilities. Sizes 2500/3000/4000 feature an ultra-smooth triple-disc carbon fiber drag system, providing an incredible 30lbs of max drag. Sizes 5000/6000 come with a four-disc carbon fiber drag system, delivering 40lbs of max drag. The largest model, size 8000, offers five carbon fiber discs and an impressive 55lbs of max drag.

ROBUST BODY DESIGN

Crafted for resilience and power, the Kapstan SE's body design sets it apart. The CNC aluminum frame flexes its muscle under harsh conditions, while the carbon fiber rotor keeps the weight down without sacrificing durability. A die-cast aluminum handle arm and T-shaped handle knob ensure a secure grip for efficient retrieves. The high-capacity CNC braid-ready aluminum spool eliminates the need for mono backing when spooling braided lines.

SMOOTH AND FAST RETRIEVE GEAR RATIO

Barely missing a beat in challenging conditions, the Kapstan SE features 5 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings. A specially designed polymer roller bearing and an 8-pin stainless steel one-way bearing prevent reversals. Gear ratios vary across sizes: 2500/3000/4000 offer 6.2:1, 5000/6000 feature 5.7:1, and 8000 presents 5.2:1. This ensures both rapid and controlled retrievals.
