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).

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. MSRP for KastKing®’s rod racks are $64.98, $66.98, and $76.98 respectively.

“Winning the Best of Show award at ICAST 2015 is one of the most amazing milestones in our company’s history.

We’re more than ready to take on any upcoming challenge. I believe with our business model and innovative business practices, we’ll become the next big thing in fishing.”

KastKing® Presents New Kayak Fishing Rod

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

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.

Leave a comment

Eposeidon showcases their lineup of exciting new KastKing fishing rods at booth 1702 along with KastKing fishing reels, Ecooda reels and MadBite lures introduced for 2014.

Hempstead, Long Island, NY (July 8, 2014) — Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. (http://www.eposeidon.com) will rock the fishing tackle world at the 2014 ICAST (International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades) set to take place July 16 through 18 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Located at booth 1702 will be Eposeidon’s array of the company’s latest fishing reels from their KastKing and Ecooda reel division, KastKing fishing lines, and lures from the MadBite division. Being introduced at the 2014 ICAST show will be Eposeidon’s new line of spinning and baitcasting fishing rods, including unique models for specific applications. ICAST is the leading annual sportfishing trade show hosting thousands of buyers and sellers of the sportfishing industry from around the world.

Eposeidon, which has been stunning anglers since its introduction of high quality braided fishing line selling for a fraction of the price of other brands, is making strong headway in other areas of the fishing tackle industry.

Eposeidon, which is also the exclusive North American distributor of Ecooda fishing reels, introduced 6 new spinning reel models from their KastKing product line in the first half of 2014 including the KastKing Blade, Orcas, and Triton – all featuring carbon fiber drag washers as standard equipment, 5 new models of low profile baitcasters, and 10 models of their new RXA conventional baitcaster.

“Through our exacting manufacturing, quality control, purchasing and shipping practices we have successfully been able to deliver top quality products at a selling price that is so low it baffles some buyers,” says Tate Cui CEO at Eposeidon, Inc.. “With our sophisticated supply chain management and a strong belief to let more people enjoy fishing, Eposeidon continues bringing great affordable products and more fun to the fishing community.”

“We were already strong in international sales and now we are making tremendous progress in the U.S. market. Our products enjoy positive reviews and the price point has spurred sales beyond our expectations,” says Tom Gahan, Eposeidon’s Marketing Director. “Three key elements make up our brand – high quality, low price for retail and wholesale buyers, and free or low cost shipping. These essential components have allowed us to move forward swiftly.”

Eposeidon will have a special wholesale dealer program in place at the 2014 ICAST show that allows qualified buyers to place a minimum order at a discount that is usually reserved for much larger product stock orders. The offer includes free shipping. Buyers need to visit Eposeidon at booth 1702 to place their order.

“We want buyers to have the ability to try out our products on a small scale order, even if it is only just one piece so that they can experience our quality and customer service,” added Cui.
