The KastKing app supports the revolutionary iReel, with saving data and reporting through the smart sunglasses, as well as many other smart devices, including watches and wireless headphones. Together these technologies will change the future of fishing. On the water, iReel employs highly accurate motion capture sensors in the spool assembly to provide anglers with precise casting metrics, including the number of casts made, average distance, farthest cast, retrieve speed, and more. All the data is at your fingertip once your iReel is connected to the KastKing app. By providing real-time access to this valuable information, anglers can enhance their understanding of the fishing environment, analyze their successes and failures, and make necessary adaptations based on the prevailing conditions.
