- HIGHEST GEAR RATIO BAITCAST FISHING REEL - When KastKing set out to conquer the fishing tackle world with the fastest retrieve speed baitcaster on the planet, they did more than make Speed Demon Elite baitcasting reels fast. They pulled out all the stops. Based on input from Pro anglers in MLF, B.A.S.S., FLW, and BFL and scores of recreational fishermen KastKing added unique and patent pending features. The results were outstanding. And, like all KastKing fishing reels, they made it affordable!
- A GREAT FISHING REEL STARTS WITH GREAT GEARS - KastKing used Hamai precision cut aerospace aluminum 44.3mm main gear and brass pinion gear for ultimate performance, 10.5:1 speed and an amazing 42 IPT for super-fast line retrieve. This makes it the fastest gear ratio baitcast reel on the market today. If that’s a little too fast for you Speed Demon Elite is also available with 8.6:1 gear ratio / 34 IPT and all the same other features.
- DEMON EYE CENTRIFUGAL BRAKES - Speed Demon Elite baitcasting reels have a revolutionary design “Demon Eye” micro-control exterior centrifugal brake system that puts brake adjustment at your fingertips. After initially setting the internal brake pins you can then fine tune your brakes with the external Demon Eye control. You now have a wide range of 40 adjustments for the bait and conditions you are fishing.
- WINNING FEATURES ADDED - 10 + 1 double shielded stainless steel ball bearings; Up to 18 Lbs of ultra-smooth triple disc carbon fiber drag; Palm-perfect design; Patent-pending DTCC “Double Tapered Control Chute” line guide to virtually eliminate backlashes, add casting smoothness, and improve line retrieval; Line Memory Dial to help you remember what size line you spooled on; Easy maintenance oil port and water drainage port.
- SOLID PLATFORM AND FEATURES - KastKing Speed Demon Elite fishing reels utilize an exceptional solid aluminum frame for zero flex and low weight. Likewise, aerospace quality hardened aluminum alloys are used throughout for the v-shaped spool, worm shaft, split main shaft for weight reduction, higher speeds, and longer casts without noise, and 90 mm aluminum handle with EVA grips. This gives you a cast reel that weighs only 6.7 ounces.

Questions about KastKing Speed Demon Elite Fishing Reel, World’s Fastest Baitcasting Reel 10.5:1 Gear Ratio, 10+1 Shielded Stainless Steel BB, CNC Aluminum Frame, 17.6 LB Max Drag, 8.5:1 Also Available
Q:
Really a119 $ come on
Answer: Not sure I follow the question. That is what Kast King charges on their website and what Academy sells it for.
Q:
Is it black with red accents or black with orange accents
Answer: Mine is black with red accents.
Answer: Black with red
Answer: Mine are both black with red
Q:
How do you open the lubrication port?
Answer: It's usually a small hatch on the underside of the reel (where the main gear is located) can be secured with a small screw or open hole.
Answer: Spring loaded side cover release lever.
Q:
Would this would stand up to saltwater fishing?
Answer: I have taken mine to the bay without any issue. Definitely has more than enough drag for any bay fish. I rinse my reels down fully when I'm done. No tools are required to open this reel up, rinse it out and oil up the spool bearings.
Q:
What size fishing line and type do you suggest to use for bass fishing?
Answer: Depends what technique you're fishing and/or the size of bait being used. For drop-shot I use 15lbs braid with an Alberto knot connecting 8lbs fluorocarbon. If I'm throwing cranks baits I'll use just straight 12lbs floro. Spinnerbait I'll use 15lbs. Floro
Answer: My husband has this reel and suggested you use 25 lb test Kast King super power braided line and a flouro carbon leader . Hope this helps .
Answer: 12 to 20 flrocarbon flipping or pitching
Q:
Is this designed for salt water use?
Answer: Couldn't find any info that states that, but I use mine for bay fishing and fully rinse and oil when I'm done. No tools needed to tear it open and maintenance it.
Q:
how much line will it hold? Is this a good reel for deep salt water rockfish fishing?
Answer: No, it is about a 150-200 class size baitcasting reel. If I remember correctly I was able to spool it with about 130-150yds of 40lb braid.
Q:
Is speed demon elite work of saltwater?
Answer: Probably if well rinsed after each trip.
Q:
when can i get the right handed model?

Ken Altizer : affordable quality
kastking really does make quality reels, I own several kastking rods and reels, they are all I fish with!
Marisol Gutiérrez Mascorro : Excelente producto
En perfectas condiciones, de muy buena calidad
lawton rockman : Great Reel
I love these reels
Jason Wortman : Top water must have
Feels great in your hand. Cast like butter. Fast retrieve makes for an excellent top water reel.
Champjoe : Smooth, fast, powerful, great value
Never bought a reel other than Daiwas and Shimanos for this size class. Tried it out today and landed a decent sized smallmouth bass. This reel is smooth, fast and has a smooth drag. Fits nicely in your hand, light weight and rigidly built. It was firing 3/4oz lures out to 50yds with ease. I am extremely happy with this reel and am sure it won't be my last Kastking. In summation, it is a well built, smooth reel with some serious drag. 18lbs of it!
Amazon Customer : Would recommend
Very sturdy reel with a compact design. Would absolutely recommend

JCB : The quality is impossible to beat with price.
Casts like a dream. Light enough to fish all day.c

Adam LP : FAST and LIGHT
I have several brands of casting reel but the speed of this reel is no joke. This reel is fast! Also the micro-control dial was super helpful making slight adjustments to the brake between casts without having to open up the reel to change braking pins. But even if I had to open it, the swinging side door really eliminated the nerve-wracking experience with other reels of dropping doors/parts while in the field. This is also probably the lightest baitcaster reel I've tried. Also customer support was super polite and responsive. Outstanding reel and I plan on buying another for my second rod.
Kelly Grooms : Hard to adjust to cast
Good reel but hard to adjust the when casting lost of back lash

Badaxed : Thumb Bar will not re-engage after cast.
Thumbar release will not engage. I have not used this for more than a week of fishing and the thumbar will not engage all the time. I am disappointed when you spend 120 bucks on a defective item. Stay away from this reel!
I sent this defective reel in to cast king. This product is on backorder. they indicated they will send me an 8.6-1 reel instead because the 10.1-1 is on backorder. getting fishing equipment in these covid times is difficult, getting a product that is not defective is also difficult. i had been a fishing guide for over 35 years and have had every type of reel made. I love kast king spinning reels and have 8 of them. i cannot give a good review for the Speed Demon however as the item is defective. will see after they send the 8.6-1 reel.
Matthew Vahldiek : It’s very fast
Love it
Cory : Awesome product
Fastest reel I have I’m in love
Jason bishop : GREAT REEL FOR THE MONEY
Great reel for the price. I use this reel for anything topwater and it does exactly what I want. Very satisfied customer
Steven F mitchell : Bait Casting Reel
Still awaiting the fishing rod to put it on, but I put it on another rod to try it out. It's fast and light weight, but the centrifugal brake settings are not explained very well. All I know is how to turn off and on the pins. It doesnt explain what the settings do.
Crystal Rice : Will not disappoint!
Excellent product. Definitely worth the money!
Adria Henke : Weight
Awesome retrieval speed. 1 turn is bout 24-28" li line recovery. , lightweight and will buy again.

txmedic1 : Wow!
Right out of the box it looks amazing! Feels sturdy and well built. Retrieve is so fast! Cast is smooth and quiet. Definitely a rival of the big name bait casters that cost three to 4 times as much. Highly recommended.
TJ Stamper : Good Quality and feel
Very nice looking reel. Feels quality made and comfortable.
Fossilfiction : Thumb bar sticks on both of them.
Updating my review since the replacement now has the same issue as the original. The thumb bar sticks which makes it completely useless. Not sure where to go from here with this. I recommend saving your money and getting a better brand.
Adria Henke : Weight
Awesome retrieval speed. 1 turn is bout 24-28" li line recovery. , lightweight and will buy again.
BPSheep : Obvious Quality
Attention to detail, very light and balanced. Love this reel.
Fishing junkie : Very fast.
Very small and easy to palm, and very fast retrieval, well built and looks great, I put it on a uglystik elite rod and it is very light in weight, I'm going to use this real alot for many different lures, I do recommend buying one of these and trying it out.
UpsGuyDanny : Really like the reel!
Reel looks and feels great. Easy to use. Came with all the instructions needed and you can YouTube videos if you need help with setup.

D. Hayes : Light and smooth
So far so good. Showed up a day early, seem very smooth and the quality appears to be good. Without even using it, I gibe it a 4/5
Johnny Curtis Wilson Jr. : Good Reel
Made very well. 10.5.1 is super fast!! Love it
William H. Reeve : Awesome Reel I thought until the thumb bar won't return sent it back same prblwith replacement.
As an owner of 5 Shimano Curados I'd put this reel as good or better once you get it set I don't know hotw you're going to backlash it. Not saying you can't but you'd have really screw up and my god fast it's crazy fast highly recommend going to order another.
R. K. Green Sr. : Very anxious to see if this reel can live up to its impressive reviews!
Unfortunately the product I received did not appear to be brand new. Whenever i receive a new item I expect the box to be sealed and unopened. I started to return it however the features of the reel are so impressive that I decided to keep it and see how it performs. I will follow up this review after I’ve completed my test of the reel.
Meme : Fast
This is a great reel. It is fast, light and has a smooth action. I can cover a lot of lake area quickly with the 10.5:1 gear ratio.
Brandon Lee Duncan : fast, really really fast
This is my 2nd kastking reel.. this thing burns water
