There are many ways of targeting kingfish from using a wide variety of baits to lures. Although debatable, kingfish can be one of the hardest fish to land, as it is commonly known to make a run to the rocks or anything sharp to bust you off as soon as you hookup.
Due to this, strong gear is essential when chasing after this pelagic species.
Shimano offers a large range of suitable fishing reels such as the Stella SW, Twin Power SW and the Saragosa to name a few. These spinning reels are perfect to throw around lures for Kingfish.
Some of the proven Shimano lures, which the Kingfish cannot resist, are the Ocea topwater lures and jigs. However, having the right reel and lure is only halfway in achieving the catch that will stay in your memory forever.
