This Reel is a beautiful work of art and is built very well. I’m very impressed with KastKing. I have several rods and reels from KastKing and have caught 100s of fish on them and I have never had an issue. Very high quality stuff with a great price point. 100% recommend KASTKING!
Great reel I love it. The colors are good and beyond the colors you can tell it's all business. I haven't had the chance to really see how durable it is, or how it stacks up against my Penn 5k DX however, with what I have caught on the kastking. It's proved not to be a slouch. It's ready for the water.
KastKing Kapstan 8000 Elite High speed saltwater spinning reel with KastKing 50lbs braid line. it cast out real nice but seems to be an issue reeling it in it drags like the line is tangled around the rod! I have it mounted on a 12ft surf rod I`ve only used the rod and reel once on 12/17/2025 on the east coast of Florida, I am going to try it on the Gulf Coast of Florida the week of Christmas and see if it still drags on reeling it in if it still drags on reeling it in, I`m going to swap out the rod with a KastKing Kong 10ft rod and see if that makes any difference then I`ll update the Review
So I used Kapstan Elite high speed 3,000 with destron 8x 20lbs braid line. Fishing the Padre National Seashore catching this Crevalle Jack 41.5” fish!! This reel ran smooth like butter when the jack took a run , and it was tug and pull fight for about 20 minutes! For the price and quality this product is so underrated!
