Ideal Spinning Reel For Finesse
Fishing
The Kestrel SFS (Spin Finesse System)
spinning reel is amazingly light, weighing in
at only 4.6 ounces. The full carbon fiber
frame along with maximum use of 7075 & 6061
aluminum components keep the reel’s weight to
the absolute minimum.
Strength Without The Weight
The carbon fiber drag washers deliver 10 lbs
of smooth stopping power and the reel is
built with a 7075 aluminum main shaft & 2014
aluminum drive gear, solid brass pinion gear,
and a shallow cut CNC 6061 aluminum braid-
ready spool.
Innovative Spool & Reel Rotor
The patented spool design limits line
friction and improves casting distance and
line control. Plus the aerodynamic reel rotor
lowers resistance and provides better overall
performance.
Premium Components Throughout
Although this is a finesse reel, the Kestrel
Carbon Body SFS reel comes with plenty of
power. With double sliding stabilizer rods
(D.S.S.R.), an aluminum main gear and brass
pinion gear as well as a direct drive
aluminum handle, this reel provides anglers
with a surprisingly stout tool to target
finicky fish in clear and/or highly pressured
waters.
Small, Light, Yet Quick & Strong
The premium carbon fiber drag washers in the
Kestrel deliver smooth stopping power. The
Kestrel also gives you a 6.2:1 gear ratio for
a tremendous balance of torque and speed with
a line retrieve of 28.4 inches per turn (IPT)
of the handle. This reel balances well on any
finesse fishing rod and is a great choice for
targeting bass, trout, crappies and other
panfish.
