A Vermont Rainbow Trout
A Vermont Landlocked Salmon
It’s an annual fishing event that has been going on for centuries and probably longer. The Rainbow Trout and Salmon fight their way upstream, jumping the rapids of the Willoughby River to arrive at their destination – the deep cold waters of Lake Willoughby. This is called the Rainbow Run. Fishermen come from miles around to line the shores and wade in the waters of the Willoughby River in hopes of landing a hungry Rainbow Trout or Landlocked Salmon. The fish battle the currents to make their way upstream to Lake Willoughby. This amazing natural event happens every spring and lasts from a few days to a few weeks.
A Landlocked Salmon leaps tall boulders in a single bound!
Fishermen line the banks and wade in the waters of the Willoughby River
It’s an uphill climb for this fearless fish.

- Durable Material –– The KastKing Kalibrate fishing accessory is molded with tough amorphous polymer material which is resistant to heat, chemicals, and impact.

- INTEGRATED LINE COUNTER – The built-in line counter tells you how much line you are adding to your casting reel or spinning reel.

The Kalibrate is also ideal for adding the correct amount of backing on a spinning reel or on a fly reel.
- PATENT PENDING LINE SPOOLING TOOL– The innovative KastKing patent pending line spooler design is simple to use and can spool both spinning reels and baitcasting reels without line twist.

- NO LINE TWIST – The design allows fishing line to come off your filler spool and directly onto the reel spool without any line twist. On a casting reel, the line comes off the top of the filler spool, through the counter, and winds onto the top of a casting reel without changing the coiled memory of the line. For a spinning reel, the line is un-coiled from the filler spool, through the counter, and coiled onto the reel spool. The line naturally coils onto the reel without any twist in the line.
- SPOOLING MADE EASY – Place the tension band on a spool of line, clamp the Kalibrate to a rod, using the threaded t-handle mount spool of line on the tool (maximum spool size – 3.5” wide by 4.5” diameter), attach the fishing line to the reel spool, and fill your fishing reel with your favorite fishing line.
