KASTKING SHOWCASES KONG SERIES RODS

KastKing KONG series rods are designed for anglers targeting massive fish in fresh and saltwater! These lightweight, powerful, 100% graphite blanks are made of high-strength S-Curve graphite reinforced with Nano-Resin technology that delivers amazing strength and lifting power but are still incredibly light and sensitive.

Because KastKing KONG rods are made to handle giant fish, every component must be up to the challenge. We use only stainless-steel, double foot guides because of their strength and each guide has an ultra-smooth Titanium Oxide ring which is designed to perform flawlessly with heavy braided line. The combination of strong frames and durable rings are perfect for extreme conditions.

When targeting big fish, every component must be up to the challenge. We use extra strong graphite reel seats with nylon reinforcement to ensure that large reels stay secure. Custom handles feature an EVA core for comfort and a rubber cross wrap for durability. Foregrips have a spiral cross wrap with finger slots that provide control over big fish. Some models also include graphite gimbals in the fighting butt.

The bright chartreuse “Strike Tip” enhances early strike detection even in low light conditions and quickly alerts you to even the lightest bites, so you never miss a fish. The “Strike Tips” are also great for night fishing but equally well in bright sunlight.
