I am always looking for a great new real. Love testing them out seeing just how well they are going to work. I have several different brands and styles and I use each for different circumstances. I purchased the Kastking Orcas 4000 to see if it would meet up to the quality standards I am normally looking for. I gotta say, I was very impressed with this real. I have been using the kastking 12 lb test on it and using it when we go night fishing, It has handled every fish hook with great ease. It has a smooth reel and a long drag that has been able to handle anything we have hooked thus far. Its lightweight easy to handle and has great stopping power to it. Its not an overly huge reel either. Its a very beautiful looking reel with great coloring to it. It is "salt water approved" however I do fresh water fishing in local rivers and lakes. Another great things about this real is that the handle is interchangeable depending on your preference of left or right handed casting/fishing. It has a rubberized grip on the handle to help prevent your hand from slipping off it was to become wet or slimy which is common when fishing. This is now one of my must have reels when I go fishing it is not one of the "extras" to just have on hand. Usually when we purchase fishing line we get the 8lb test but this time i decided to go with something a little heavier and went with the KastKing 12.lb test line. My reasoning behind this was because we like to go fishing at night and where we fish we usually end up hooking a large cat fish or carp. It never fails that our lines end up breaking when we are trying to pull in a larger fish. I have to tell you, this line worked wonders for us. Its very strong and has a great abrasion resistance to it. It has the zero stretch to it which is awesome at giving an almost instant hook set with very little force. It has a great sink rate to it so you wont have to worry as much about your line drifting off down the river in which your fishing. I was highly impressed with this line. I have since relined a couple of my favorite poles with this. KastKing Multi Function Stainless Steel Fishing Scissors are very handy when your out on the water. There are many of times I have needed something to cut tangled lines or to cut they line when relining a pole and these are perfect to do just that with. They are compact and foldable so they do not take up much room. The orange coloring as anyone who does night fishing knows is easier to see of a night. Even though they are a smaller and more compact my husband and I can both fit out fingers into the finger holes of these. There is a built in line cutter for all different sizes of fishing line. These are quite sturdy and very durable. This is another must have in my tackle box! The KastKing Fish Grippers + Scale probably one of the best Fishing gear Items I have owned. This Gripper is very easy to use. It not only helps with gripping ahoold of the fish while trying to remove some of those stubborn hooks but it also has a built in fish scale. Which is great for us because our fish scale we had last year broke. The fish scale in this one is digital and very well lit so its easy to read it at night. It allows you to set your own default weight settings so that you can use the unit of measurement which you prefer. When you squeeze the handle to grip the lip of the fish it will tighten up with the weight of the fish so that its secure enough that the fish is not going to fall off of this gripper. I personally am one of those people who hate to handle cat fish so this works out perfectly for me. I love the holster that comes with it as well. Either my husband or I can attach it to our pants and we don't have to go searching around in a tackle box or on the ground to see where we last put the gripper. The Kastking Fish Gripper is a great accessory for anyone fisherman/woman I will be updating this with photos very soon. I have not yet been able to get any.
