Product Description
The Kraken reel series has been our most consistent performer for over a decade. Its fully machined and lightweight design has represented the best value in the industry for years and it just keeps getting better. The last generation saw improvements to the drag housing and the knob shapes to help with performance in saltwater and with ergonomics. Now, we've shifted the drag material to a carbon multi-disc system to improve durability and top-end drag pressure. The sealed drag is ready for any environment, while still remaining easy to reverse if necessary without any additional tools. The Kraken series still boasts a U-shaped spool for both line capacity and ease of line pick-up, while now benefiting from stronger and still super-smooth performance across the full range of target species. Whether you're targeting spooky Catskills bank-sipping trout or hefty Florida Keys tarpon, there's a Kraken reel up to the task!

Kraken 9/10
Fit and finish is awesome on this real. You can feel the strength but not the weight! Drag for days. I’d rank this right up there with the higher price reels on the market, with one exception. I can buy two of these for the same price as some of the other higher end reels I own.

Kracken

Revamped Kraken
Here's the best compliment I can give the next-generation Kraken after a couple outings with it: it's as good as the previous generation. I've been using my Krakens for 5-6 years in the salt chasing striper, and they are workhorses. Smooth drag, little upkeep, and they handle the abuse of getting banged around in a kayak in salt water with no problems. I was concerned Allen was going to mess with a good thing. So far, it seems like the new version is just as good. I had a hot striper on that went to drag, and it was just as smooth as the previous version. And I was also very relieved to find that the spools from my old Krakens fit the new one. Nice! Keep up the good work, guys.

Kraken
After much anticipation, received my emerald Kraken for my 10 weight rod. I could not be happier with the size, weight, and looks of the reel against the blue rod. Now, I just need to test the drag on a muskie or a tarpon!
