Eposeidon Introduces KastKing Orcas Spinning Reels

A powerful spinning reel with unique features in a lightweight package makes its debut.

Hempstead, Long Island, NY (July 1, 2014) — Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure’s KastKing™ division has introduced a new fishing reel, the KastKing™ Orcas, for anglers who are looking for a lightweight but heavy duty spinning reel option.

Named after the killer whales, Orcas, one of the world’s most powerful predators, the KastKing™ Orcas Spinning Reels are built to withstand the effects of rugged environments.

KastKing™ Orcas are constructed with a solid aluminum body made from a special lightweight aluminum alloy that is 18% lighter than the usual aluminum reel body alloys.

Orca’s 12 + 1 shielded stainless steel ball bearings, stainless steel main shaft, and CNC machined aluminum spool and handle combine to create a saltwater ready spinning reel. It also has a unique reinforced carbon fiber spool skirt with a PLS (Power Launch Spool) power casting lip to keep its weight down and performance up. The PLS (Power Launch Spool) design allows farther, tangle free casting.

KastKing™ Orcas deliver 26.5 lbs/12 kg of drag on the 1000 and 2000 series and 30 lbs/ 14 kg of drag on the 3000 and 4000 size Orcas.

The current MSRP for KastKing™ Orcas, finished in a red salmon and black color scheme, are in the $60.00 range. It is available in 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series sizes.

“These fantastic numbers are made possible through Orcas’ smooth performing triple disc carbon fiber drag washers. It far out performs other brands of equal size,” says Tate Cui, CEO at Eposeidon. “We believe that carbon fiber drag washers offered as original equipment that deliver such tremendous stopping power add great value to the KastKing Orcas. In this price range it is unbeatable.”

“Orcas are the perfect name for these reels. They are exceptionally powerful for their size,” says Tom Gahan Marketing Director at Eposeidon. “We see these reels in the hands of anglers who want solid power in a lighter package. Its special alloy body allows that. They range from only 9.7 ounces/ 275 gram for the 1000 and up to only 11.9 ounces/ 340 grams for a 4000. Kayak fishers will enjoy its light weight feature.”

Eposeidon Named Exclusive Ecooda® Distributor for North America

Ecooda® inks contract with Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. as the sole distributor for Ecooda fishing products in the United States and Canada.

Hempstead, NY, USA (May 30, 2014) — Executives at Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. (Eposeidon, Inc., http://www.eposeidon.com) based on Long Island, New York, and Ecooda®, which manufactures a variety of spinning and baitcasting reels and other fishing products, have entered into an agreement recognizing Eposeidon as the sole agency representing the Ecooda® brand in the North American region of the US and Canada.

Ecooda® reels are already on Eposeidon’s warehouse shelves. Spinning reel models include the high performance surf model Hornet, the high-tech Black Hawk built with carbon fiber components, ERS Max Drag Power which comes with features usually only found in reels selling for hundreds of dollars more, and the CZS series that offers a quality reel at the economy level. Presently Eposeidon also markets Ecooda® baitcasting reels, the Sniper High Speed, and the Shadow. Other models are under consideration to be added.

“We’ve put Ecooda® reels in the consumer’s hands since the second half of last year and the products have been met with outstanding positive reviews,” says Eposeidon’s CEO Tate Cui. “Given the top quality of the reel, and the price we can market it at, it was an easy decision to enter into the arrangement.”

Eposeidon marketing manager Tom Gahan added, “The Ecooda® reels are selling themselves. Each Ecooda® model has outstanding features at its respective price point. At best, the percentage of returns for warranty replacement has been microscopic; far below other comparably priced brands.”

“It is an exciting time for Ecooda®. Our growth rate has exceeded our expectations,” says Cui. “Ecooda® is yet another product that continues to bolster our sales. We look forward to a great relationship with Ecooda® and will be adding other products and lines in the third quarter of 2014.”

Ecooda® reels have enjoyed a solid reputation and wide acceptance among Australian and European anglers for the last several years.

Gahan commented on the marketability of the Ecooda® brand, “We respect that anglers are brand loyal. But we see a trend toward recreational fishing tackle consumers purchasing reels that do the job equally as well at less than half the price. Ecooda® plays a role in that shift. Brand loyalty is falling to spending sensibility.”

Eposeidon also markets a line of spinning and baitcasting reels under their own KastKing™ brand.
