KastKing Zephyr Finesse Fishing Rods – BFS Baitcasting & Spinning Rods, IM6 Graphite, Extra Twin-Tip, 2pc & 3pc Travel Design, Ultra-Light Lure Casting, Stainless Steel Guides with Zirconium Rings

Very lightweight and very good action for Finesse Fishing. Very enjoyable to go fishing with it - good balance and good quality for a reasonable price.

Great entry level BFS rod for the money. The rod is very light and casts 1/16oz lies like a dream. I have the rod paired up with the KastKing Kestrel reel and it’s very well balanced and light weight. The rod has an extremely fast tip which is perfect for slinging light baits.

KastKing lists this as a feather light rod. Other manufacturers call it an extra ultralight. It is rated for 1to 3 pound line and 1/64 to 1/10 oz lures. It is a fast action rod. The blank itself is thin with a good back bone. The tip is not whippy despite its thin size. I have this paired with the zephyr 500 size spinning reel. The rod is well balanced with the 500 size reel and the rod seat is very comfortable in the hand. I use 2lb copolymer line and I can get a good amount of distance on my casts despite the shorter length. I have caught a couple of 10 to 12 inch bass and the rod handled them with no issues. This is a very fun rod for catching small creek fish. The black and orange color scheme looks really good. Overall this is a good little rod for small stream fishing and it is a good value for the price.

I recently purchased the KastKing Zephyr Bait Finesse Fishing Rod, and I’m thrilled with its performance! This rod is incredibly lightweight, making it a dream to handle during long fishing sessions. The design is sleek and pairs perfectly with my KastKing Zephyr reel, creating a balanced and stylish setup. The sensitivity and responsiveness are top-notch, allowing for precise casts and excellent control. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this rod—it’s a fantastic choice for finesse fishing enthusiasts looking for quality and comfort. Highly recommend!

I bought the KastKing Zephyr BFS rod (model krdcstzp-bfs69l3bk), and overall, I’m still happy with the purchase — even after a couple of unexpected issues. This is a 3-piece rod, and the top section snapped while I was trying to untangle some line and bent it a bit too far. I repaired it with a rod repair kit from Amazon and kept fishing. A few days later, the same section broke again in a different spot while I was pulling it out of its protective rod sleeve — not sure what caused that one. I repaired it again, but decided to reach out to KastKing support. I usually don’t bother contacting customer service because of past bad experiences, but this time was different. Winnie from KastKing made the whole process super easy. I gave my Amazon order number, sent some pictures, and they shipped me a replacement rod right away — it even arrived faster than expected. Great service. Thank you, Winnie! The BFS (bait finesse system) market is pretty limited on Amazon, but the Zephyr rod and reel combo is a great option. I’m running it with Sufix 832 braid (8lb) to a 6lb Sufix mono leader, and it casts beautifully one-handed. One thing I learned after buying: most anglers get a left-handed reel so they can cast with their right and reel with their left. I bought a right-handed one, so now I’m learning to cast with my left hand — but I’m okay with that. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars only because of the durability issues with the top section. It’s a great rod, but I think that part could be a bit stronger. That said, the company stood behind their product, and that means a lot. If you're looking to get into BFS fishing and appreciate solid customer support, this is a great setup to start with.

Love the kastking Zephyr rod. It a two pieces so it make easy to storage and carry to go fishing. It very light weight and the grip hold very comfortable to hold. Love it it perfect for a spinning or baitcaster reel. Will recommend to other.

I’m an ultralight fisherman. I own a lot of tackle, and 90% of it is ultralight. Unless I need a heavier rig for really big fish I’m fishing sub-6 pound line on an UL rod with a 1000 or 500 size reel. I’m glad I added this Kast King new model Zephyr to my kit. I am already a Kast King fan with 3 older model lime green Zephyr UL rods and a couple of Perigree II rods, and 3 Zephyr reels. Kast King offers great quality in an affordable price range. I have a few high-end (more expensive) rods that have been disappointing (on one high-end brand the tip broke on the first cast!!) so high price does not always guarantee quality. That’s why I really like Kast King. I got the 6’2” UL Fast model, 2-piece. First impressions were very nice fit and finish, smooth guides (although the tip is super tiny), nice balance with a 500 size reel, a solid reel seat (I especially like that the adjustment that secures the reel is away from your hand so it shouldn’t work loose like some rods), and a rod butt section that isn’t overly long. With a 500 size Lew’s reel mounted the balance is very nice, and the action is exactly what I wanted. This rod is very nicely made and for the price, it’s a great value.

I've seen a lot of comments saying good things about this product, that why I decided to order it. Well it broke when i was testing it.
