October 16, 2015 staronepr Leave a comment

Garden City, Long Island, NY — KastKing® a division of Eposeidon, Inc. headquartered in Garden City, New York will manufacture three spinning reel models equipped with Boca Bearings. They will be select models within KastKing® ‘s bestselling fishing reels, the KastKing® Blade and the KastKing® Triton, and also an innovative new reel scheduled to be released later this year. The models fitted with Boca ceramic hybrid bearings as original equipment will carry the same name, but will have a separate “Magnum” designation.

KastKing® and Boca Bearings, based in Boynton Beach, Florida will also offer bearing kits for those who want to upgrade their KastKing® baitcasting or spinning reels to state-of-the-art high performance ceramic hybrid bearings, or premium steel bearings produced by Boca. Replacement Boca Bearing kits will initially be available for KastKing® Blade 3000, Triton 2500 spinning reels, KastKing® LMA 200 and Royale RS1000 low profile baitcasting reels and all sizes of the KastKing® RXA conventional reel.

“There’s only a couple of manufacturers building boutique reels with ceramic bearings as OE. Those reels sell for $400 or more. Since KastKing® already offers affordable reels with a proven track record, even with the addition of Boca ceramic hybrid bearings; they will be well within the reach of anglers who are looking for ultimate performance on a budget” says Tom Gahan marketing director at Eposeidon. “The performance of Boca’s ceramic hybrid bearings is incredible. It’s all about taking a good KastKing® reel and making it outstanding with Boca Bearings. We are excited about teaming up with Boca; they are an excellent company.”

Boca Bearing Kits for KastKing® reels will range from Econo Power Fishing Reel Bearing Kits, which are the most affordable way to replace and upgrade stock bearings, to Lightning Ceramic Hybrid ABEC#5 kits, an upgrade from stainless steel bearings, to the top of the line Orange Seal ABEC#7 ceramic hybrid bearings, which have a non-contact rubber seal allowing the bearing to spin freely without any excess drag.

“20 years ago we were excited to be the first company to bring ceramic bearing technology to the fishing reel market, what we didn’t expect was the movement it would become,” says Boca Bearing’s president, Allen Baum. “We are thrilled to be a part of this great industry that continues to grow and evolve. We are especially thrilled these days to see the youth angler programs growing by leaps and bounds. The future looks bright and we are happy to be a small part of something amazing. With over 8000 products and 27 years in the business, the expert staff at Boca Bearings has you covered.”

July 21, 2015 staronepr Leave a comment

KastKing® “Rack ’em Up” fishing rod racks outscore many entrants and big, long-established brand names in fishing tackle Best of Show Award vote.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (July 20, 2015) — Eposeidon‘s KastKing® brand headquartered in Long Island, NY bested many notable contenders for a coveted Best of Show Award at the International Convention of Allied SportFishing Trades (ICAST).

Making up a special section of ICAST’s half a million gross square feet show floor, the New Product Showcase provided special visibility for the industry’s latest innovations.

“The single most important feature for ICAST exhibitors and attendees alike is the New Product Showcase,” American Sportfishing Association (ASA) said in a press release. “The New Product Showcase, sponsored by Fishing Tackle Retailer, embodies the sportfishing industry’s innovative and entrepreneurial spirit and rewards that ingenuity through the “Best of Show” new product awards competition.”

Eposeidon’s KastKing® brand was well represented with a team of 15 at ICAST. It is the world’s largest sportfishing trade show and was held July 14 – 17, at the Orange County Convention Center Orlando, FL. Produced by the ASA, the industry’s trade association, ICAST – in its 58th year as the industry’s trade show – is the annual destination for the global recreational fishing industry. More than 12,000 representatives from the global sportfishing industry were in Orlando to see the latest innovations in fishing tackle, gear, accessories, and apparel.

KastKing® offers three different Rack em Up fishing tackle management rod rack models; a 12 rod rack, a 12 rod fold-flat rack and a 24 rod rack. They are all patent applied for designs. MSRP for these innovative rust-free aluminum racks allow fishing rods to be stored in an upright position with minimal floor space.

KastKing® Presents New Kayak Fishing Rod

July 10, 2015 staronepr Leave a comment

More back bone and high performance are key features in a new Kayak Rod from KastKing®.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (July 10, 2015) — Today, KastKing®, a division of Eposeidon, Inc. based in Garden City, Long Island, NY announced the addition of a new kayak fishing rod, the KastKing® HD Phantom Kayak Rod. It will debut at ICAST in Orlando Florida on July 15, 2015.

KastKing’s® new versions HD Phantom Kayak Rods were derived from technology and development of Eposeidon’s highly successful patent-pending KastKing® Phantom Kayak Rods. KastKing® HD Phantom Kayak Rods features include heavy power, fast action, 7’ length, and are manufactured for 15 – 40 lb. line, 1 oz. – 4 oz. lure weight. Phantom Heavy Power Kayak rods come in casting and spinning models. They have AAA cork handles, rod leash rings, and a fish measurer on the backbone of the rod.

KastKing’s® HD Phantom Kayak Rods have a unique Micro Polish finish that eliminates sanding the rod blank resulting in 10% more strength than other rods. There is no need for paint, which adds weight and insulates the guide foot from the blank reducing sensitivity. KastKing® fishing rods are made with the finest materials available. Special design, durable 24-ton, high-grade, tightly woven carbon fiber sheets creates the foundation of every KastKing’s® HD Phantom Kayak Rod blank. The extra tightness of the weave results in more backbone, farther casting, consistent action, and more power. To enable more accurate casts KastKing® fishing rods are checked for straightness with infrared lasers.

“As with our new inshore rods, KastKing® is responding to requests for a high performance kayak rod with more load capability to target muskie, bull reds, big striped bass, small sharks and other large species,” says Tom Gahan, marketing director at Eposeidon.

The rods were designed with input from angler consultants on Team Eposeidon, most notably Team Eposeidon member Elias Vaisberg who qualified twice for the Hobie International Fishing Challenge by winning the Jamaica Bay Classic with Grand Slam finishes two years in a row.

Spinning and Casting models of the KastKing HD Phantom Kayak Rod carry a MSRP of $106.98. Both will retail through http://www.eposeidon.com for $86.98.

KastKing® Rolls Out Advanced Inshore Fishing Rods

July 10, 2015 staronepr Leave a comment

KastKing® fishing rod department used technology, research, and development to manufacture its new series of high power, affordable inshore rods named KastKing® Perigee Inshore Rods.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (July 9, 2015) — Today, KastKing® a division of Eposeidon, Inc. based in Garden City, Long Island, NY announced a new fishing rod series aimed at the inshore saltwater and big game freshwater markets.

KastKing’s® Perigee Inshore Fishing Rod is based on the technology of their extremely successful KastKing® Perigee fishing rods for the freshwater bass market, which retail in the $70 – $80 range. The new 7′, 6 rods will retain the Perigee name for marketing purposes. The dynamic new rods are available in casting and spinning models, in medium-heavy and heavy power.

“We consulted with our development team, many professional charter captains, and guides in producing this rod,” says Tom Gahan, marketing director at Eposeidon. “Saltwater anglers began using our freshwater bass series rods and multipurpose rods. They were delighted. Those who target big striped bass, bull redfish, and other large fish kept asking for a heavy power rod that was light and could perform as well as the medium-heavy power rods we primarily developed for the freshwater market. We also had requests from those going after big catfish and muskies. We met the demand for a high quality, heavy power rod that includes all of the high-tech features of our freshwater series.”

KastKing® Perigee Inshore Rods have 9 guides plus the tip guide, a unique Micro Polish finish that eliminates sanding the rod blank resulting in 10% more strength than other rods. There is no need for paint, which adds weight and insulates the guide foot from the blank reducing sensitivity. KastKing® fishing rods are made with the finest materials available. Special design, durable 24-ton, high-grade, tightly woven carbon fiber sheets creates the foundation of every KastKing® Inshore rod blank. The extra tightness of the weave results in more backbone, farther casting, consistent action, and more power. To enable more accurate casts KastKing® fishing rods are checked for straightness with infrared lasers. KastKing’s® Perigee Inshore Rods are equipped with EVA hand grips and foregrips.

“The company will introduce the prototypes of all KastKing’s® Perigee Inshore Fishing Rod models at ICAST (International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades) taking place in Orlando, Florida July 15-17, 2015,” says Eposeidon CEO, Tate Cui. “Production of these extraordinary rods will begin shortly thereafter. KastKing® Perigee Inshore rods will hit the market late in the third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2015.”

Once again KastKing® stays true to their motto, KastKing® Keeps Fishing Fun…by making it affordable. All models of KastKing’s® high performance Perigee Inshore Fishing Rods will initially have a MSRP of $106.98 and sell through http://www.eposeidon.com for $96.98.

Technology Filled Live Liner Fishing Reel Introduced

April 11, 2015 staronepr Leave a comment

Maelstrom bait runner reels include features that are not available elsewhere in a higher price range.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (April 11, 2015) — Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. (http://www.eposeidon.com) has announced the release of its newest fishing tackle product, the Ecooda Maelstrom bait runner spinning reel.

The Ecooda Maelstrom spinning reel has classic front and rear drag functions that are often referred to as bait runner or bait feeder style spinning reels.

Named after powerful swirling ocean vortexes that create havoc in the water, the Maelstrom has been designed with key features that are important to anglers. It was created by anglers for anglers through direct input from Team Eposeidon, Eposeidon’s Angler Consultant Staff for the North American market, which resulted in the reel’s technology loaded design.

“We took a look at what was out in the market for bait runner reels and realized we could build a reel with more features than our competition’s upper end models while keeping the price point on par with their low-end bait feeder reels. For example, we use eight high-quality stainless steel shielded ball bearings, and a triple disc carbon fiber drag washers, which exceeds other top of the line models,” says Tom Gahan, Marketing Director at Eposeidon, Inc.

The Maelstrom spinning reel lets a fish bite and run with trolled or drifted live bait without feeling the line or the reel’s drag. When the angler is ready to set the hook, a turn of the handle or a flip of the main drag lever instantly engages the pre-selected maximum front drag tension. The secondary drag can be set to zero to let line out or just enough tension added to control the action of live bait.

The Ecooda Maelstrom is equipped with eight high-grade shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus a stainless steel anti-reverse roller bearing, triple carbon fiber drag washers, stainless steel main shaft , a patented “Wonder Dome” forged aluminum spool that has near zero start up inertia resistance for smooth drag performance, special formula high modulus non-rusting graphite body, and a machined aluminum direct drive interchangeable left or right handed handle with oversized EVA nonslip grips. As a bonus, Maelstrom reels come with an additional graphite spool at no charge. Maelstrom is saltwater approved.

Darcy Hill, who targets big redfish with live bait near Charleston, SC and is a Team Eposeidon angler consultant says, “I’ve been a part of the Ecooda Maelstrom project since the idea of doing our own bait runner came to fruition last summer at ICAST (International Convention of Associated Sportfishing Trades). This reel will be an epic game changer for Eposeidon. I’m honored to have played a part in its creation!”

The Maelstrom bait runner is available in 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 class sizes. With a MSRP spanning from $64.98 – $70.98 the Maelstrom will initially be sold in the mid $50 range.

Tate Cui, Eposeidon‘s CEO stated, “Once again we have an opportunity to show the fishing community that they can have high quality, innovative fishing tackle at an affordable price. This has been the corporate mandate since the company was founded.”

Eposeidon Introduces New Ecooda Ocean Master Fishing Reel

September 25, 2014 staronepr Leave a comment

Heavy duty high-tech conventional reel with unique features for offshore fishing is now available only through Eposeidon for the US and Canadian markets.

Hempstead, Long Island, NY (September 25, 2014) — Eposeidon, Inc., the North American distributor of Ecooda fishing reels, has introduced the Ecooda Ocean Master Conventional Reel.

A unique feature of the Ecooda Ocean Master (EOM) is its unique patented double level-wind support shafts that gives outstanding stability and unwavering pressure on retrieve. Ecooda Ocean Masters also have a patented double support bearing system on its stainless steel main shaft that adds superior strength and longevity to the reels.

Available in left and right handed models, all Ecooda Ocean Master Fishing Reels feature carbon fiber drags for smooth operation and performance needed to fight big game fish. EOM 30’s have 33 lbs. (15 kg.) of drag and EOM 50’s produce 44 lbs. (20 kg.) of drag. It is an exceptional amount of drag power for reels in that class size. Ocean Masters have 7 shielded stainless steel ball bearings (patented double bearing support on the main shaft), precision machined brass gears and stainless steel components for maximum strength and durability, 6.2:1 gear ratios, ceramic line-guide inserts, and a reel-foot locking plate to keep the reel securely clamped to the rod shaft while battling big fish. Its frame is constructed from high-modulus graphite for a higher stiffness to weight ratio.

“Performance combined with endurance is the key,” says Eposeidon’s CEO Tate Cui. “The available drag pressure is more than double the available drag on other reels in that class. In testing this spring it boated a 90 pound fish off the coast of Japan without effort. Everything in the reel is stainless steel, brass, or graphite; all of which withstand the effects of seawater. It’s built for survival.”

“The Ecooda Ocean Master reels put us squarely in the conventional reel arena for big game fish. You can’t beat that many features and the benefits for the price,” says Tom Gahan, Marketing Director at Eposeidon. “We’ve had exceptional success with other Ecooda models based on their price, quality, and performance.
