Mg-Ti Elite Magnesium Baitcasting Reel

Just got this rigged up with 15lb braid and 20lb fluro leader, Royale Advantage MH 7'6" rod. It directly replaced my Mg12 which i have been using all summer (going to convert that to 50lb braid heavy cover setup).
Right off the bat i noticed it's smooth as glass, upping the mg12 and that reel is damn smooth. To my surprise i can cast light lures down to 1/8 oz and it didn't matter much about where the brakes are set, i had it at #4 setting with the spool tension knob wide open, no backlashing. Using thumb to stop the spool right before it hits water of course. Was casting 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz lures at ridiculous (to me) distances, not even sure if i can properly set the hook at the distances it was going. No bites on my short first day, but i am feinding to hear the loud drag clicker go off on a fattie, it will soon enough. The braking system on this reel seems to be a drastic improvement on the Mg12's so far, i'm assuming that's how im casting a tiny little spinner lure (15lb braid, 20lb fluro leader) on the same brake setting as my chatter bait and theres no back lashing.
I liked the reel cover that it came with, that was unexpected. I love the reel so far but i want to see how others stack this up against shimano, daiwa etc. For the price and performance.
I have been wanting kastking to start up a trade in/refurbish program.

I have many high end reels and this reel is right beside my 2023 Metanium MGL except the Mg Ti has a much stronger drag. Very smooth, light and casts my 1/8oz and 1/16oz baits amazingly. Highly recommend 🤝.

I know that a lot of folks have opinions about KastKing’s latest reel but all I can say is that this reel performs above and beyond my expectations! I can only talk for me but I have landed solid fish with no issues at all! Zero, zero and zero complaints and nothing but praises about this reel! I would like to see a black one piece rod with titanium accents or hardware to compliment this amazing reel! KastKing, please keep bringing the heat!

This reel is so smooth and feels so great. Plenty of torque to reel in some big ones and so versatile from finesse to heavy loads. Had for a few weeks and I will definitely be getting some more

This reel is amazing!!! Everything about it so super smooth from the looks to the functionality of it!!! I was able to cast 1/16oz dynamic micro lure 1.5” on 20lb braid no problem and it went pretty far! And it handle my heavy lures as well and the clicking drag is great as well. This reel is definitely an awesome all around reel!

Let me start with, this is the best Baitcaster I have ever used. I have yet to birdnest this caster is amazing. Really light and paired with the assegai sweet Caroline its amazing. I have even paired it with the black hawk II for giggles and it works like a champ. I'm considering purchasing another Mg-ti because of it. So its a hard yes recommend buy to anyone
