About this item

Elite Spinning Reel for Finesse Fishing: The Kestrel SE spinning reel weighs just 5 ounces, making it ideal for anglers who prefer downsized bait presentations in clear or highly pressured waters. Despite its ultralight design, it delivers strong, reliable performance for targeting even the wariest fish. Its indigo-to-starlight blue gradient finish subtly shifts with light, giving each reel a mesmerizing, celestial-inspired look.
High-Strength Sycron Construction: Key load-bearing areas of the spinning reel, including the reel body and reel foot, are reinforced with Sycron material to reduce flex and wobble under heavy load. Tensile strength is increased by 28%, compressive strength by 12%, and impact resistance by 40% compared to graphite material, while remaining 15% lighter for improved balance and reduced fatigue.
Ingenuity Design for Smoothness: The Kestrel SE Spinning Reel redefines casting with its patented spool design, minimizing line friction for extended casting distances and superior control. This innovation, coupled with a 7+1 MaxiDur double shielded stainless steel ball bearings system, guarantees smooth, reliable operation in diverse environments. Plus, the aerodynamic reel rotor lowers resistance and provides better overall performance.
Premium Components: The Kestrel SE spinning reel combines finesse with strength, featuring double sliding stabilizer rods (D.S.S.R.), a zinc alloy main gear, a manganese brass pinion gear, and an AT6 super-hard aluminum main shaft. Its 5.2:1 gear ratio and up to 13.2 lbs of drag let you confidently fish with light lines without worrying about breakoffs.
Enhanced Performance and Comfort: Ergonomic TPE handle knob delivers a secure grip and precise control. The direct-drive secure-fit CNC aluminum handle locks in solid with zero play for maximum stability. Sealed CNC anodized aluminum spool featuring a waterproof O-ring front drag reduces moisture intrusion to help prevent drag slip.
