ReKon Saltwater Spinning Fishing Rod and Reel Combo

One thing I liked about the KastKastKing ReKon saltwater spinning rod and reel combo was the amount of drag on it. Having 30 pounds of drag for one 4000 reel is insane most top notch brands can’t really compete with what KastKing is doing right now. The one I recommend is the 7’6 medium heavy 4000 combo to be in the mix of everything from bass fishing to cat fishing to saltwater fishing. just don’t use 20 pound KastKing line like I did because it’s feel like it’s thick and I won’t get bites like 15 pound line because when putting a knot on the spool to put line on the damn damn thing slips every time. But to end it off on a dope ass review I caught some big ass fish on this combo…..

Rod and reel paired with Kastking Braid and it worked amazing this past weekend while catfishing. A must have for any angler needing a do it all combo!

First weekend out we came upon a school of slot-sized stripers and I was able to land 7 or 8 in the kayak throwing an 8" paddle tail. Fun times!

I've been having it for a few weeks now, the reel smooth as expected the rod is great the handle is extra long, it's a great addition to my saltwater arsenal

I've been really impressed with this rod and reel combo. First off the packing and delivery of both the reel and rod were fantastic. I was worried that the rod or rod guides would get damaged in transit to Hawaii. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was packed in a very rigid box and safely secured in foam. The rod was delivered in perfect condition. My first impression of the rod was the weight. It's very light and has a nice stiffness for long casts offshore.

I am also really impressed with the build quality of the reel. I've always been a big Penn and Shimano fan and I'm really appreciating the added value and quality that I've seen from the 4 reels that I've purchased from KastKing. The ReKon reel has the feel of a Shimano Spheros IMO. It's buttery smooth and has a powerful 30 lb carbon fiber drag system to land hard fighting fish. During my research I was attracted to see that this reel was deisgned to handle harsh saltwater conditions with rubber seals that you don't seen in most reels in this price point. With proper care I look forward to using this rod and reel combo for years to come.

I purchased the kastking rekon combo with the 4000 size reel and the 76 Medium Heavy rod for an upcoming trip to gulf shores. The rod arrived better packaged than any rod Ive purchased on Amazon before and came in great condition because of the care kastking puts in packaging. Initial thoughts are this will be great for shire and pier use for me. I like the sensitivity of the rod and especially the locking mechanism for the reel seat. The reel is very smooth as well and what I would expect from kastking like my sharks and megatron reels. The line capacity is good, but kastking reels if using mono seem to be slightly smaller across the board capacity wise vs a penn reel sis if looking for 3000 size Id order a 4000 in a kastking. The drag is very smooth as strong as expected. I spoiled up with 15 pound kastking mono and am ready to catch some redfish and other saltwater species on my upcoming trip. I am really impressed with the quality of kastkings saltwater reels at this point and do not see a need to pay a premium for a lesser quality product with some of the other name brands.
