The KastKing Perigee II 6 ft 6 in spinning rod blends two-piece portability with near one-piece performance. Built around a Toray 24-ton carbon matrix KastFlex blank, this rod aims for precision, power, and sensitivity across a broad range of fishing styles.

Designed to cover bass and trout setups, walleye and steelhead rigs, as well as salmon and saltwater scenarios, the Perigee II delivers versatility for freshwater and occasional saltwater trips.

Premium build and components

Expect world-class materials and thoughtful ergonomics. Fuji O-Ring line guides support smooth line flow; a tuned graphite reel seat pairs with high-density EVA grips for long days on the water. A Saf-T Keeper helps secure rigs during transport, while a bare carbon finish emphasizes craftsmanship and light weight.

Smart two-piece design and power transfer

The PTS Power Transition System uses hybrid spigot joints and precise wrapping at 0, 45, 90 and 135 degrees to preserve power through the blank. The result is a rod that feels remarkably like a one-piece when casting and battling fish.

• Hybrid spigot joints ensure smooth, continuous power
• Four-angle wrapping optimizes strength and feel
• Two-piece construction without sacrificing performance

Comfort, versatility and real-world use

All-day comfort comes from high-density EVA handles and ergonomic reel seats. The Perigee II is suitable for freshwater pursuits such as bass, trout, and walleye, as well as steelhead, catfish, salmon, and select saltwater species like redfish and snook. It offers a responsive feel, clean aesthetics, and adaptable action to suit different techniques.

Note that benefits depend on technique, line, and conditions, so consider this rod as a flexible tool rather than a guaranteed outcome.
