I used the 40 and 50 out in the Dry Tortuga ! Landed some nice Mangrove snappers, Almaco Jacks (40), Yellowtail snappers and Lane snappers, a 19inch red grouper and some red snappers( safely released). . All used in 100 to 200ft of water.
Pretty decently built may Kast a few heavy action seasons on freshwater lakes. Like that I can turn “audible clicker” on/off. Might be good for trolling drag indicator if tuned right. Took off a star as even discounted great price the gears are crunchy and the ratio may be a little low even with a full spool. Usually with a conventional reel having 6 bearings you get a smooth crank turn right out of the box. Another part of the missing 5th star is a general rating for the Kong poles being out of stock for almost every Heavy reel I ordered. I feel this is not acceptable. I’m not seeing any anglers with Kong poles out here in Texas and I fish constantly and engage with everyone I get near enough to talk fishing! All in all it’s a good well built weekend warrior level use reel that I can see lasting a few years if well maintained.
First Baitcaster, I watched the Kastking videos on this reel. Pretty easy to learn. Can’t wait to start using it for Musky fishing and Salomon on Lake Michigan!!! Looks really cool in black, size 60.
