Simxkai Kite String Reel, String Spool, Line Winder, Come with Lock

This has some weight to it, it doesn't feel cheap at all. Keep an eye on it though, because if you're not careful, it can get in a nasty tangle. That happened the first time I used it. I was able to pick the tangle out but it took long enough to challenge my patience, which is not in short supply. However, every time since, knowing to watch what I'm doing, it hasn't happened again. Some users have said it doesn't fit their hands; it fits mine just fine, but my hands are small, so be aware that the size might be an issue. It works just like it says it does and on the whole, I'm satisfied with it.

We decided to fly kites while camping on the bluffs over Crystal Cove, California. My kids are 40 years old, and it's been awhile. I bought two kites - one a 'dragon' the other some 'squid' lookin' thing. I bought two different spool/winder things - sent on back because it had plastic parts, then bought this one because it was a little more expensive. It is a better mousetrap - wider, sturdier, the handle, while it doesn't fold like the other two is just... bigger, better. At first, if you're not careful, they spin so easily that you're likely to let the string come off the side and wind up with a bird nest. The second time it was so bad I just cut away a couple yards of string and re-tied the hook. There was an onshore breeze all day and the kites just kind of flew like party balloons - to the delight of everyone even at other camp sites. Then, about 3pm, the wind started to change directions and the kites faltered - the larger one looked like it was going to plumet to the ground - and I had quite a bit of string out by that time. I grabbed the reel and wound it in so easily and quickly it stopped acting like it was going to fall out of the sky, and I wheeled it right up the reel. They both worked well - but of the two this was the better one. Totally recommend if you're going to go fly a kite.

Works fine. Just heavy and tangles easy if you haven't practiced using one before. Definitely not recommended for children. Thing is huge also and I have big hands.

This kite string reel winder is absolutely fantastic! Made from sturdy PET transparent plastic, it’s built to last and feels much more solid and durable than other winder options out there. The bright color and hollow-carved design give it a sleek, stylish look that really stands out. The 2000ft twisted kite line is strong and reliable, and the 3-strand tire thread holds up incredibly well under tension, with a max load of 23kg. The high-speed steel bearing makes it smooth to wind and unwind, while the arc-shaped rotating ring pin adds an extra layer of precision when handling the line. I love the anti-reverse lock feature—it’s such a thoughtful design! You can lock the reel to prevent the line from slipping out when you don’t want it to, and the knotted end ensures the kite string stays in place even if you’re nearing the end of the line. The large gyro handle is comfortable and easy to use, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced kite flyers. The grip size (3.5in x 2.5in) is perfect for both adults and kids, ensuring everyone can enjoy flying their kites without hassle. Overall, this kite reel winder is well-designed, durable, and incredibly easy to use. Highly recommend for anyone looking for smooth kite flying experiences. Plus, the after-sales service is great, so you can buy with confidence! 🪁

We replaced our flimsy reel because of tangled lines and, this kite string reel is an absolute upgrade. The reel is substantial enough to grip comfortably without being cumbersome, allowing for excellent control. The star of the show is the rotating spool mechanism. Paying out 984 feet of line is smooth and effortless, and reeling it back in is just as easy, minimizing hand fatigue. It turns freely, ensuring your line doesn't snag or bind when your kite catches a thermal. With 984 feet of string, you can get your kite up high and explore maximum altitude. This reel is built tough and handles the tension of high winds easily. It's the perfect investment for anyone who takes their kite flying seriously.

I really wanted to love this line real. The real itself appears to be well made. Unfortunately there are a few design issues that I have found very frustrating. First there is really no way to prevent the line from jumping off the wheel and then getting looped around the eyelet post. I feel like the design could be better if it was more like a fishing real. secondly the line twists and knots on itself. Is this common on all kite strings or does it have to do with the way the line is spooled at the factory. I have noticed this same problem when I roll an extension cord over my arm and I think it has to do with the process as each time you go around you are basically adding a kink. I think I might just look into buying an old Penn level wind fishing real and cutting down an old rod.

Works great! Even 60+ yr old kids, are able to enjoy.

Great product. Works wonderfully. Only reason I did 3 Stars is to let folks know the cord is NOT tied to the reel. Probably common knowledge but be aware. I was letting a kite go pretty far up and then the cord ran out. It went somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. Bon Voyage.

Love how smooth this reel rolls and how easy it is to pay out and retrieve line. This thing is an absolute game changer! Ball bearing rollers work really well - just make sure to not to let it freewheel when you pay out line, or you'll surely be dealing with a bird's nest of knots. Top quality line is included & works just fine for our four foot kite. It's not so heavy as to bog it down at all. I don't find the winding knob to be a problem at all. I have medium sized male hands. Super easy to hang on to for my daughter who has small hands. Just order one already - you know you want to, you will NOT be dissapointed!!

Works well.

ben fatto

先っぽにタコエギを装着して錘を装着して海でタコが釣れました。 糸が絡まりやすいので要注意です。

Very good quality
