LINE COUNTER TROLLING REEL

New from KastKing is the ReKon round baitcasting Reel. Available in 3 sizes, ReKon conventional reels will be perfect for Salmon, Steelhead, Trout, Kokanee, Walleye, Lake Trout, saltwater species, and so much more. Both feature an exceptional, accurate mechanical line counter so that you can consistently keep your bait in the exact zone that is producing fish over and over.

HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS

The KastKing ReKon baitcasting reels are designed for tough trolling conditions and uses the best components. For smooth and trouble-free operation KastKing uses 3 double shielded, stainless-steel ball bearings in high stress points plus the Instant anti-reverse bearing. KastKing ReKon main gears and worm shafts are made of precision machined brass. Its pinion gear and line guide shaft are high quality stainless-steel.

AMAZING DRAG POWER & FEATURES

The ReKon round casting reels use a smooth, carbon disc drag that delivers 30 lbs of fish stopping power (25lb for size 10). Both size reels have a line clicker function that makes releasing planer boards simple and easy. You can use that feature as a strike detection system while trolling. Gear ratio is 5.1:1 on the size 10, 5.3:1 on the size 20 and 4.5:1 on the size 30.

GREAT LINE CAPACITY

KastKing kept these fishing reels as compact as possible while still providing tons of line capacity to anglers using leadcore, heavy braid, or strong monofilament fishing line. The size 10, size 20 and size 30 ReKon cast reel will hold over 250 yards of 20 lb. mono or about 10 colors of Micro Leadcore line and over 320 yards of 25 lb. mono or equivalent braided line respectively.

TWO HANDLE OPTIONS

KastKing designed the handles to be different on the two models for a reason. The size 10 ReKon is mostly for Kokanee, Walleye and Trout so KastKing included a comfortable, double paddle handle with EVA grips. The larger size 20 and 30 reel has a single Power Handle with a comfortable round knob that gives more leverage for larger fish and longer retrieves for Salmon, Steelhead, Lake Trout, Striped Bass, or other uses such as a catfish reel that require more fishing line.

My savage 9 Lbs cat broke it along with the rod I bought for it

I'm only giving this reel 4 stars because I only was able to use it a few times before my savage 9 lb cat broke it from the outside causing the internal main gear of the clicker to dislocate and break without the reel ever being open. So obviously it may have a durability issue considering that my cat is literally only 9 lbs and the reels drag on the size 10 is supposed to hold 25 lbs. But I'm going to order another one just to make sure this isn't a fluke one time Incident type of thing. Because the reason I'm still giving it 4 stars is because it casts like a dream but anyway I hope the next one is more durable than a 9 lb cat.

Got the 20 Series Level Wind - performs flawlessly, have had it out whacking +30” Gag Grouper, Red Snapper and even one 7’ Nurse Shark.

Fishing +100’ of water, the KK has plenty of drag to handle the big uns from the deep

Just like the Sharky III’s I use for Inshore, these can handle the super tough SW environment.

Bought 2 line counters to pair with chrome rods for 360 salmon fishing. First use, handle fell apart on 1 reel. Put it back together and it keeps happening so returning it on Amazon and getting a replacement. They have already landed several fish, drag is very sensitive and a very fine line between good and to tight. Comparing to my cold water reels, wish the drag had "clicks" for progression in tightening/loosening. So far, still a decent reel and I'll continue to torture test them much like the rod

Just received my ReCon 20 with the line counter today! Put it on my pole, spooled it up with some KastKing super braid 20lb line. Now, I’m looking forward to using it soon!
