KastKing introduces shark-inspired line of baitcasting reels

Inspired by a shark’s speed and power, KastKing introduced its latest series of baitcaster fishing reel series, MegaJaws.

The KastKing MegaJaws baitcasting fishing reel series brings the elements of creative visual design through its shark inspired teeth together with a unique color matched system that has a different color reel representing a specific gear ratio for instant recognition. Anglers can select gear ratios of 5.4:1. 6.5:1, or 7.2:1, and one of the fastest ratios in the market, 9.1:1 that retrieves 33.9 inches per turn. KastKing made product durability and user peace of mind paramount through the use of 11 + 1 double shielded stainless steel ball bearings for saltwater use protection, easy access patent-pending lubrication port and drainage ports making maintenance simple for increased longevity, and its captive tension knob with click detents which retains spool tension settings and prevents accidental loss of the knob.

“KastKing has really set the bar with the MegaJaws,” 2018 KBF (Kayak Bass Fishing) Tournament National Champion Dwayne Taff said. “It is lightweight, low profile, and smooth casting with extreme power. KastKing MegaJaws baitcasting reels are everything a tournament angler like myself needs to be successful on the water at an unbelievable price.”

MegaJaws shark tooth front hood, shark fin side covers, and metal components were included to represent the power and strength that sport fishing anglers desire today and to remind consumers of the sense of dominance and total confidence on the water.

“We took a playful approach with the shark design and combined it with some of the best innovative engineering available in fishing reels today,” said Tom Gahan, Chief Marketing Officer at KastKing. “KastKing was founded on keeping fishing fun and affordable innovation. KastKing MegaJaws supports that. MegaJaws will be a pleasure for those who are new to baitcasting reels as well as seasoned tournament competitors.”

In addition to its double shielded stainless steel bearings throughout; manganese brass pinion and main gears and a nickel-coated brass worm drive gear were added to provide strength, durability and consistent performance for freshwater or saltwater fishing.
