Megatron 200 Baitcasting Reel

I loved this reel so much that I actually made a review about it on my YouTube channel. Like I said in the title this is the most budget friendly bigger size baitcasting reel I have ever seen. The only reel I can really compare it to would be the Lews Super Duty, which don't get me wrong is an amazing reel, but cost upwards to $300+ and not everyone wants to pay that. Making the KastKing Megatron a perfect budget friendly reel. I would 100% recommend this reel to anyone!

When I first saw the specs on this reel last year I was a little skeptical of the fact of a small graphite bait caster with 28.6lb. drag, so I ordered one along with a Gomexus carbon handle and a 7'6" Whisker Seeker.
This trip we targeted red grouper and hogfish this reel handled every fish I hooked not one glitch at all. After that trip I intentionally took the set up and placed it in the garage no clean up no anything, I wanted to see how it would handle the abuse (I also ordered 5 more reels and some rods from Kastking). I had 5 more trips planned in July 2025 this reel did not fail or let me down in anyway. I'm posting the hottest trip we had with our limit of reds , you have all of my business from here on out.
Thank you for an awesome product!!

I picked up the Megatron 200 to try out for A-Rig fishing and what a treat it is.

I spooled it up with 17 lb. mono, put it on a 7'10" TFO rod and used a YUM Flash Mob Jr. A-Rig loaded with Keitech swimbaits on 1/4 oz. heads.

Very impressed with how easy it is to set the reels spool tension to achieve effortless casts with no backlashes. The double paddle reel handle cranks with ease and it's does a fantastic job presenting A-Rigs for largemouth bass.

I'm looking forward to casting the A-rig for my Lake Ontario smallmouth bass so stay tuned for that review.

Excellent real for the price. Smooth cast and retrieve easily pulled this pike in.

1st outing 3rd cast a 10.50 lb striper on a 6"glide, Reel performed perfect. I caught 7 in 2 hrs and not 1 issue.Great drag system aswell! Had trouble tuning it just right at first but got it none the less. Highly dependable. Time to check out the speed Demon Elite now.

Looks great and feels great. I paired it up with a castaway 6.5' rod and I can't wait to use them both.
