KastKing continues to set the trend with innovation and world class products. After testing the waters and finding huge success with two of the leading, lightest baitcast reels in the world (Kestrel Elite, and Mg12 Elite), they have decided to take things one step further. Inspired by the brand's already popular Mg12, KastKing’s engineers decided it was time to head back to the periodic table to see if it was possible to push the boundaries even further. Magnesium (Mg) gives all the advantages of light weight, but now they have leveled up even further by adding another element that not only has the advantage of weight savings, but also extreme durability, Titanium (Ti). Introducing the new KastKing Mg-Ti Elite, the world’s first low profile baitcast reel with a full Titanium spool and shaft.

The new fully titanium spool weighs only 1/10th of an ounce offering the castability of a wide range of lures from 0.05 oz - 1 oz. This makes the spool/shaft featherlight, has unmatched strength and durability, and gives it extremely low start up inertia for casting those ultralight baits. Due to a tensile strength of 250% higher than standard aluminum spools, you can rest assured that the lightweight design will handle even the most rugged conditions.

Included in the Mg-Ti is KastKing’s new Halo Vortex Magnetic Brake. The HVB is a self-adaptive magnetic braking system that delivers adequate braking at the start of the cast to prevent backlash while automatically reducing braking force during the mid-to-late stages of the cast ensuring optimal casting distances. The entire braking system is contained in the side cover which avoids additional spool load. On the exterior, the reel offers a Digi-Cut magnesium alloy frame and TiCon carbon fiber side covers, giving greater strength and significant weight savings over aluminum and standard carbon.

Palm perfect sizing offers a comfortable and secure grip. The redesigned Tournament Star Drag expands the control area by 20% allowing for effortless single-handed adjustments so that anglers can utilize their fingertips to retrieve their line with the easy to reach tapered star drag. Featuring a powerful drag with up to 18 LBS of force, the Mg-Ti is overqualified for any species targeted in its weight class. Also, the integrated drag clicker will let you know exactly when it’s putting the brakes on any fish trying to flee the scene.

With additional features of the Swing Wing side cover, Carbon Fiber Handle with TPE knobs, clicker tension knob for a crisp sound, LFTV tapered line guide, CNC machined X-shaped brake dial for ergonomic functionality, and 9+1 MaxiDur Double Shielded stainless steel ball bearings + 2 EZO bearings, the Mg-Ti is sure to be your go to reel in your tackle arsenal. Available in right and left-handed retrieve in the popular 7.2:1 gear ratio.

Mg-Ti debuts at ICAST with a $299 MSRP. Look for it in the New Product Showcase and in the KastKing booth #4812.
