  • KastKing Features & Specs
  • TORAY IM8 BLANK, NANO RESIN & KEVLAR - KastKing Krome fishing rods use Toray IM8 high carbon, 45 million modulus blanks and Nano Silica resins for incredible strength, performance and sensitivity. KastKing reinforces the butt section and through the reel seat with Kevlar fabric providing improved hook setting power, additional durability and strength. It results in a true performance salmon fishing rod or steelhead trout fishing rod that feels light in your hand but easily handles big fish.
  • FUJI GUIDES AND REEL SEATS – KastKing compliments these premium blanks with the finest Fuji K-Frame tangle free guides with Alconite rings for both spinning fishing rod and casting fishing rod models. These guides are tough and will handle any mono, fluorocarbon or braided lines with ease. KastKing also uses Fuji ACS & TVS reel seats to make sure you are always in control and your reels stays solid in its base. Trust Fuji and you'll never have to worry about a component failure.
  • DURABLE CARBON FIBER HANDLES - Carbon fiber handles have been selected because KastKing knows these rods will be used to land some of the hardest fighting fish that swim. These handles are extremely durable, they clean up beautifully after handling cured eggs and herring and they are easily removed from rod holders under the pressure of large fish.
  • TECHNIQUE SPECIFIC DESIGNS - Each technique specific action is designed by experts with years of experience and with the input of professional guides and anglers who know and require only the very best in their tools. Rod weight, length, action, power and even handle length are purposefully built to ensure you are maximizing the effectiveness of every fishing rod. There are currently 15 fishing pole models including 4 spinning rod and 11 casting rod models in both 1 and 2-pc designs.
  • HIGH-VIS ORANGE STRIKE TIP - A bright orange "Strike Tip" is standard on Hot Shot models and 10'6" & 12' Pro Troller models. The "Strike Tip" enhances early strike detection even in low light conditions. This critical feature is a tremendous benefit on these trolling rod models and will help you put more fish in your boat. If you need a salmon rod or a steelhead rod, look no further than KastKing Krome. KastKing Krome rods are the winner of the Fish Alaska Magazine Editors’ Choice Award.
  • From Alaska to the Great Lakes, steelhead and salmon fishing is a serious sport that demands superior fishing tackle. KastKing developed the Krome fishing rod series specifically for those markets.
  • Starting with an incredible blank made with 45 million modulus Toray carbon materials and finished using Nano Silica resins, these rods are among the lightest made and are the strongest and most sensitive rods available. The rods are then reinforced with true Kevlar fabric from the butt section through the reel seat to deliver incredible hook setting and lifting power while providing extra resistance to impact to the rod blank at the boat from hard fighting fish.
  • KastKing selected premium components including Fuji reel seats and guides for this entire series. Fuji ACS and TVS reel seats and Fuji K-Frame tangle free guides with Alconite rings will deliver years of fishing freedom. KastKing custom carbon handles are extremely durable, slip resistant and remove easily from rod holders under the pressure of powerful fish. They also clean up beautifully after a busy day baiting hooks with cured eggs, herring or other messy baits.
