(http://www.eposeidon.com), is pleased to announce their new Mela Spinning Reel is in the fishing tackle marketplace.

“The KastKing® Mela has more standard features than other reels costing many times more,” says Tom Gahan, marketing director at Eposeidon, Inc.. “People often mistakenly equate low price with poor quality. Time after time KastKing has proven that is not the case. People are paying more for big name brands because they equate more expense with high quality. We have successfully offered quality fishing tackle at an affordable price. Based on Mela’s price point, we expect a large sales volume on this reel. Feedback about the Mela’s performance during testing was exceptional.”

MSRP for the KastKing Mela is $64.98 for the 2000, 3000 is $66.98, $68.98 for the 4000 and $70.98 for Mela 5000. It will retail through select on-line retailers such as http://www.amazon.com/kastking.

They will sell on-line for under $40. It’s a bargain and a perfect fit for any fishing budget. I’ve seen a lot of poor quality reels out there in that price range; that’s not the case with the KastKing Mela.”

KastKing Announces Two Speed Spinning Reel for 2016

Leave a comment

International fishing tackle corporation introduces their innovative KastKing® two speed spinning reel for the 2016 season.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (December 7, 2015) — Eposeidon, Inc. announced today that their KastKing® Division will retail a unique design two speed spinning reel in 2016.

Eposeidon’s new model titled the KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed Spinning Reel is based on the same platform as the Eposeidon’s highly successful KastKing® Triton spinning reel. Dualis shares its heritage with KastKing’s first spinning reel, the Triton, but with a totally innovative two speed design. Included in the new design are the double main shaft support bearings riding on a stainless steel shaft and carbon fiber drag washers found in the original KastKing® Triton, which will remain in the product line. The Dualis name is derived from the Latin word for dual.

The affordable new KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed Spinning Reel model features a high and low gear ratio that can be selected at any time. Eposeidon’s KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed offers the opportunity to use the same reel with changing conditions or techniques. Its low speed gear-ratio with more torque covers bottom fishing and the use of bigger baits to bring in big fish. KastKing® Triton Dualis’ high the speed gear ratio offers a faster retrieve speed for anglers who want to crank in certain lures at high speed. It will initially be available in 4000 and 5000 class sizes.

The Triton Dualis Two Speed Spinning Reel is equipped with 10 shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus 1 instant stop anti-reverse bearing, carbon fiber drag washers, CNC machined aluminum alloy spool and handle, stainless steel main shaft, and high modulus graphite body and rotor. A Triton Dualis has 22 lbs. / 10 kg. of drag power and a 5000 generates 26.5 lbs / 12 kg. of drag.

“Demands for innovation in spinning reel design have increased,” says Eposeidon’s CEO Tate Cui. “Anglers have asked us, ‘Why are there two speed conventional reels, but there isn’t a two speed spinning reel?’ Fishing tackle has been the same way for many years. People seem to put a limit on their imagination about gear. The Triton Dualis idea came from a chat with a local fisherman. I thought about it or a bit and said, ‘I believe we can make it.’ So we did. Fishermen should not be afraid to think of new ideas or just follow big name superstars. Your casual idea could turn to the next big thing.

“Our process of developing products for anglers by anglers produced the KastKing® Triton Dualis. KastKing’s® creative team got the feedback, brainstormed for a perfect solution, and is working with a world-class manufacturing facility to make it happen. KastKing® brings spinning reel evolution to another level. KastKing® is working on many additional sizes now.”

KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed Spinning Reel in the 4000 size carries a low ratio of 4.3:1 and a high ratio of 6.3:1. The Dualis 5000 has a 3.7:1 low speed and a 5.1:1 high speed gear ratio.

“Two advantages of the KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed Reels are in essence it offers anglers two reels for the price of one; and what’s more, the Dualis is priced to be affordable,” says Tom Gahan, Eposeidon’s marketing director.

MSRPs for KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed Spinning Reels are $ 93.39 USD for the Triton Dualis 4000 and $101.65 USD for the Triton Dualis 5000. KastKing® Triton Dualis Two Speed reels will sell through http://www.eposeidon.com, Amazon.com, and other exclusive online retailers at a price below $80.00 USD.

Technology Filled Live Liner Fishing Reel Introduced

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.”
