Customer Reviews
If you are looking for a fantastic saltwater reel, this is it! I would put this up against reels more than twice its price! Kastking continues to prove why they are one of the best! I will certainly be purchasing another!
Great Reel for a left Handed one armed amputee this reel is powerful yet easy to use aswell as well built.
Everything is frozen right now and haven't been able to get out and fish. But I was looking for a new real that felt strong and not puny in my hands. This reel sure does feel like that. It has a real heft to it and certainly not a dainty toy. Not at all like the cheaper superstore spinning reels you find so often.
I bought this reel for inshore use and so far I have been impressed. I spooled it with 20lb braid and put it on a 7ft M St. Croix. It balances and feels great on the rod. The reel is light but I have not felt any flexing while fighting fish. I have caught redfish, snook and drum on it, no giants but big enough to work out the drag. The drag works incredibly well and is very smooth. There is more drag available than you could possibly need. The reel is very smooth and that goes to show you dont need a 1000 bearings to have a smooth retrieve. I dont have any criticisms. The only thing I cannot comment on is durability but based on other kastking reels Im not worried about it.
This is a great looking saltwater reel. ReKon 8000, seems to be built very well and is durable. Reels soo smooth. I cannot wait to take this out saltwater fishing and catfishing. A plus is the fact that it came with the tools to clean the reel after saltwater fishing. Kastking did it again!
Looking forward to fishing with this new reel from KastKing! Impressed with the quality feel of the reel. It seems to be very sturdily built being designed for saltwater use. As I rarely fish saltwater, I thought it would be a rugged reel for freshwater use. One turn of the reel handle and it spins effortlessly and quietly. Since I fish mostly freshwater, it will be a great addition to my catfish gear, because of the 40lbs of drag stopping ability. The 4000 size has a 6.2:1 gear ratio. Read the specs on this reel and you will be impressed since it is only around $80. The one thing that I noticed (nothing wrong) is that the sizing of the reel seems to be smaller than other manufacturers. So pay attention to the chart they provide in the advertising.
