"At KastKing® we are always looking to innovate and continually improve. The original WhiteMax had a good run. We decided to take some of the technology from our KastKing® Royale Legend, which is a best-seller and ranks number one at Amazon, and apply that to this entirely new for 2017 reel," says Tate Cui, CEO at Eposeidon. "And, once again, KastKing® has been able to make it affordable for any fishing budget."

KastKing WhiteMax II low ratio baitcaster reels offer super torque for slow presentation of heavy baits such as big swimbaits, deep crank baits, and large spinner baits. The slower, lower gear ratio of the WhiteMax II low profile baitcaster keeps the bait in the strike zone longer. WhiteMax II baitcasting reels offer a superior feel and improved catch rate in cold water when bass and other species are cautious and slow to move.

KastKing® fishing reels currently hold 4 of the top 9 selling positions on Amazon.com. KastKing® also has the top ranked, best-selling braided fishing line there. KastKing® is the fastest growing company in the fishing tackle industry and won a Best of Show award at ICAST 2015. KastKing® will continue to introduce more new fishing reel models this year before ICAST 2017.
