Kong Casting
Big-game baitcasting rods for inshore, surf, and pier, heavy lines, heavy lures
based on big-game applications in both fresh and saltwater, the KastKing Kong Casting series fits anglers who need serious lifting power without the price premium of boutique brands. The range spans braided-line-friendly beachcasting work on the lighter end through heavy inshore and pier applications on the heavier end, with a chartreuse strike tip visible against sky and water. Blanks are 100% S-Curve graphite reinforced with Nano-Resin technology, which KastKing positions as improving shock resistance and lifting power relative to conventional graphite layup.
Stainless double-foot guides with Titanium Oxide rings handle heavy braid without grooving. The graphite reel seat has nylon reinforcement to keep large conventional and baitcasting reels from twisting under load. Fast action across all models suits hook-setting at distance with braid. Five casting models run 6'6" to 8', covering XH, H, MH, and M power ratings. The 66XH with 50–100lb line and 8–32oz lure rating is a dedicated heavy-duty rod; the 7M sits at the practical lower bound for versatility.
All are fast action and single-piece or two-piece baitcasting configurations. No travel or spinning variants in this sub-lineup.

Model notes
2 of 5 modelsSingle-piece, shortest-longest rod in the lineup at 6'6" but the heaviest spec: 50–100lb line, 8–32oz lures. Built for heaving large live baits or chunk bait from a pier or short-range surf situations where a long blank would be a liability.
Longest model at 8', enabling more casting arc with 40–80lb setups. The surf-specific sweet spot in the series, longer blank improves lure delivery distance while XH power handles large baits. The 'V' designation in SKU may indicate a variant or butt configuration.
