Review: Must-Have for Any Survival Gear Angler! - I purchased this Ka-Bar Backpacker Caster fishing device to put in my sailboat survival emergency waterproof ditch bag. However, I used the fishing device several times before stowing it away with my other survival gear. It is based upon using the product, and I believe it is a game-changer for lightweight fishing enthusiasts! This compact, durable hand reel is perfect for backpacking, survival situations, or just a quick fishing trip without the bulk of a traditional rod and reel. Pros: ✅ Ultra-Lightweight & Portable—Weighing almost nothing, it easily fits in your backpack or pocket. It is perfect for minimalist anglers and survivalists. ✅ Durable Construction—It is made from high-quality, impact-resistant materials that can handle rugged outdoor conditions. ✅ Easy to Use—Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or a beginner, casting and retrieving with this are simple and effective. ✅ Versatile—It is great for freshwater and light saltwater fishing, making it a reliable tool for various environments. ✅ Tangle-Free Design—Unlike traditional fishing setups, this one is straightforward and poses minimal risk of frustrating tangles. I was honestly surprised by how well this little device performed. If you’re looking for a lightweight, no-fuss fishing solution, the Ka-Bar Backpacker Caster is an excellent investment. It is highly recommended for adventurers, survivalists, and anyone who loves simple, effective fishing gear! Review: Great Piece of gear ! wont rot, crack or rust..floats and will catch fish. - I found this while browsing the Ka-Bar website the other day. I have been eye balling some wood hobo reel designs for a while and am familiar with the classic design as many are Im sure. The nice thing with this is it wont crack and split like wood when exposed to moisture and heat, it is made of a VERY tough material. This is a solid little backup fishing system with little to go wrong. It is very dense and can take some abuse.... but still floats. As a kid my friends and I used to make something very similar out of scrounged items at the local fishing waters using soda bottles, tin cans, or sticks. We would catch some bugs and spent many summer days picking bluegill, bass, crappie, perch, and even a few catfish out of the lakes and ponds within bicycle range.... good times ! On my first trip out I did not catch any monster fish but I did have a blast and it brought back all those summer time memories of my youth! I am considering a personal challenge to see how big of a fish I can land on this thing just to spice up my fishing trips. If you are not familiar with this type of fishing it can be a little fussy, and you must keep in mind that without a pole it is VERY easy for the fish to break your line. Reeling, or winding in the line takes a little practice to keep from tangling up your line when you hook a fish. I have posted a video on Youtube of my first trip out with this showing a little of how it works and what to expect. Zeuki1 is my channel, Backpack Kaster field test. And keep in mind what direction the line winds on the top if you are going after large fish with heavy line or you may ( unlikely but could happen) end up having a large fish unscrew the top of the reel if your not careful. Some Specs. Mine weighs in at 4.2 oz with the line clip or 3.7oz without and this includes 50yds of 10lb spiderwire braided line. This is a good thing to keep in mind if you plan on storing this away in a bug out bag or survival pack, braided line will not coil and bunch up over time like mono filament will. Length is 6 1/4" long and just under 2" at the widest point. The inner compartment is about 4 1/2" deep and tapered down from 1" to maybe 1/2" at the bottom. There is a rubber O ring to seal the compartment. There is enough room for a decent emergency fishing kit, everthing in the picture I show fits with a little room to spare. Take care and tight lines ! ## Features - Holds 100 yards of 8lb. line, 0.011” dia. or 90 yards of 10lb. line, 0.012” dia. - Great for an emergency pack - Compartment can fit a 2” lure ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D2LCLZZ | | Best Sellers Rank | #70,954 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #123 in Fishing Rods | | Brand Name | KA-BAR | | Color | Black | | Country of Origin | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,321) | | Date First Available | May 14, 2018 | | Fishing Technique | BACKPACK KESTER | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | Product | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 10 x 4 x 3 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 8.78 x 3.15 x 2.24 inches | | Item Weight | 0.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | KA-BAR Knives | | Material | Ultramid | | Model Name | KA9921-BRK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.18 Kilograms | | Part Number | KA9921-BRK | | Size | Original version | | Style | Modern | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** KA-BAR - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Included Components:** Storage Case - **Model Name:** KA9921-BRK - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![KA-BAR Backpack Kaster Fishing Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZxzHRwl7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-Have for Any Survival Gear Angler! *by L***I on January 31, 2025* I purchased this Ka-Bar Backpacker Caster fishing device to put in my sailboat survival emergency waterproof ditch bag.

So it isn't THAT heavy, but still, for someone shaving grams in their backpack, this hand fishing reel is heavy for it's size. It could've been made lighter but the manufacturer decided to make it bulletproof with the ability to withstand World War 3 and the coming Armageddon. For this reason, I'm knocking off 1 star. Otherwise, it's a nice reel, should last the rest of my life and I'll be able to hand it down to my kids who then should be able to hand it down to their kids and so on and so forth. I guess I'll have to suck up the weight because it really is a good size and should work perfect for a backpacker's fishing reel. Wish they would make a lighter version though! ## Frequently Bought Together - Ka-Bar Backpacker Caster Lightweight Fishing System 9921 , Black, Original version,10"L x 4"W x 3"H - Best Glide ASE Survival Fishing Kit - Standard Version (PSK Holder not Incl) - LifeStraw Personal Water Purifier for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/69292435-ka-bar-backpack-kaster-fishing-kit](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/69292435-ka-bar-backpack-kaster-fishing-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
