I’m thinking of trying one of the KastKing Kestrel 1000 SFS reels in a couple of weeks.
I own the KK Zephyr 1000 SFS reels ant 5.3oz and found them to be acceptable.
The new Kestrel is 4.6oz .
Both are shallow spool reels . The only ones sold directly in the USA market that I know of .
At least if I don’t like it , I have thirty days to return it.
