🤔DID THEY GET IT RIGHT???🫣KASTKING KESTREL BFS!!!

Hey guys!

In this video, we’re going to unbox and get a quick look at the Kastking Kestrel BFS. This reel was provided free for unbiased review by Kastking. In the follow up video to this, I will also be giving away a Kastking Kestrel Elite BFS reel as well so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, we’ll take a closer look at the differences between the two reels. My goal with this review is to answer the question of whether or not the Kestrel BFS reel is overbraked. If you have any questions about the items shown or anything you see in the video please leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to respond to you quickly! Thanks as always for watching and cheers!

I just found your channel recently, and I must say that I love your content! You have already become one of my favorite channels to watch. Oddly enough, I couldn't decide between the two, so I ordered them both off Amazon just last night! I knew I should have waited until this morning! 😂 I can't wait to see you break them down further!

[Fether_outdoors]

Glad you decided to do this video after all! Hope all is well Peter and looking forward to the next one my friend

Recently found your channel, you provided good information related to BFS products. Newly subscribed, thanks for the video.

Hi, great video(s)! I've found your channel today and as a purely spinning angler whith the idea to try bfs I have to say that you are very clear and you're doing a really good job. You've got a new follower (from Italy), keep going!

[pacman_]

Very informative. Looking forward to the cast testing video.

[jeffhayungs]

Great video. Good comparison so far can't wait to see part 2

[zankyou]

I can recognize those hands anywhere Peter. Good to see you come out with a new video.

I’m a Kastking fan. I’ve loved my Zephyr and it let me test the BFS waters. It’s hard to hate on it at $60-70. I love my KK waterproof boxes and the fishing shorts. Looking forward to trying the BFS rods when I can get my hands on one. The only issue with the reels are how good the Arise Elite is at $150.

[abelabner]

Nice comparison, can't complain about a chance to grab a Kestrel Elite!

[southwestindianaoutdooradv]

Great video! Looking at adding that reel myself.

[NoFro-TL]

Good looking reel at a good price. Haven’t been all that happy with the SLX bfs so might give this a try.

I just received (May 2024) a VEII Black. This version I received is NOT over breaked as well, I can confirm the distances are the same that you measured for the new Kestrel (and visually matches rawr video)

[adwhite]

Dang! I'd luv to try one of these. Just haven't had the extra investment money laying around. And other bfs options I'm checking out seem to offer a bit better price/value. But! Still wanted to try Kastking to see what rhey are all about.

[RicardoReview]

I'm really looking forward for the sub 3 gram performance on this reel.

[earthcoolsoncemore]

$200 for the elite is crazy. Bfs with discount sounds pretty good. How would you compare the Acura with bfs? I bought 2 of them after watching your videos and I absolutely love them.

[yep.fishing]

If the kestrel was the same colour as the elite I would have loved that. Still very keen to try the Kestrel, more or less a Silver Feather in the colour I thought the silver feather was going to be. The blue accents on the lower gear ratio is enticing.

[MrNoMDI]

Hi Peter ! Interesting video 👍. Seems that Kastking is on the right way… but I suspect we should wait for the Valiant Eagle IIII for the best bargain … 😁

[patrickhartman]

I have never tried the kestrel elite but valiant eagle 2 is my heavy set up with 10 lb line. Used for 4 gr and up

[patrickhartman]

Had to watch again. You should talk to histar and see if you could test a black knight 2. You may like it more then you think lol it is my # 2 reel behind silver feather and not far at all behind.

I want a non-backlash non-bird nesting baitcaster. My current baitcaster is horrible. I have used a few different ones of friends and have only found an old 13 fishing reel that suited me. I know it is the settings and using your thumb that prevents it. Is the Kestrel a good beginner reel? I will be using it primarily as a dropshot rod & reel with 1/8 oz or higher until I REALLY learn how to use it. What beginning settings would I use out of the box to start? Thank you
