New Automag Dual Braking System
More stable and farther casting! KastKing MegaJaws Baitcasting Reels one-piece ring magnet provides uniform braking force during the entire cast. When the spool reaches peak speed an auto-adjusting centrifugal brake's braking bars are thrown out, reducing the speed of the spool and avoiding backlash. When the speed of the spool is reduced to the critical point, the bars are retracted, eliminating the braking force giving you longer, trouble-free casts.
KastKing LFTV
MegaJaws baitcaster reels have unique KastKing LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex), funnel shaped ceramic line guides. They greatly reduce fishing line friction through the guide giving you super long casts and also help to reduce backlashes. LFTV makes the difference between a good casting reel and a great bait cast reel.
Palm Perfect
LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN: Upgraded MegaJaws reels, adopting KastKing Palm Perfect ergonomic engineering, are only 41mm tall and much lighter than before. Fishing reel total weight was reduced from 7.6 oz to only 6.5 oz on the new model. Main gears and main gear shafts are made of hardened aerospace 7075 aluminum. Pinion gears are super hard manganese brass. Grips were changed from rubber cork to comfortable, lightweight EVA. The new MegaJaws lets you fish longer with less fatigue.
Color-Coded System
KastKing knows how difficult it can be to quickly identify a specific gear ratio reel on the deck of your boat for a specific fishing application. KastKing has given the MegaJaws unique colors for each gear ratio so you can quickly identify the right reel for the job and gain a competitive advantage to win bass fishing tournaments. Select from 5.4:1. 6.5:1, 7.2:1, and one of the fastest ratios in the market -- 9.1:1

This is my 5th KastKing real. Sharky III 2000, sharky III 3000 baitrunner, sharky III 4000 baitrunner, sharky III baitcaster. And now added the mega Jaws. Looks awesome feels awesome, especially paired with the blue superpower braid. Only thing I noticed is in the specs on the site, it says it holds 150 yards 30 lb braid, I used 20lb braid with no mono backing and it only held 115 yds. Filled to within 1/8 in of the spool. So either the specs on the site are wrong or need some clarification Or the KastKing line counter is wrong, but I don't think it is, it's usually spot on. Either way plenty of line. If you're reading this wondering if you should by KastKing, just do it. Bang for your buck is unparalleled.
Brakes are great at preventing backlashes. Easy to tune. Smooth casting. Speed is great for worm fishing and topwater for recouping line fast for hooksets. I would compare it to 150 to 200 dollar reels from the other companies. Just keep them lubed
First, I actually read the instructions and actually learned something. How to set the drag really makes sense.
Once I followed the instructions on setting the spool tension for the lure, I never had a backlash. It’s actually cool to watch. Right before it hits the water, it just slows down. Freakin awesome!
Thanks for the awesome reel and perfect instructions.
Fantastic reel. Paired it with a Perigree II 6’6” one piece casting rod.
I got the red 9.1:1 and mounted it to 7'3" Heavy Royal Advantage for flipping, pitching, frogging, etc. and it works great! I find I adjust the spool a bit looser and the drag setting a bit tighter with this reel than others, but once dialed in, it casts quite far and I can cast without thumbing the spool and it doesn't backlash...at all! The high speed and heavy rod really yanks them out of the lily pads too! Another great product and value from Kastking!
This Reel Is One of The Best Works Great Also Has Very Good Drag System Too! Just and Awesome Reel To Used
