Rover Round Baitcasting Reel

I recently purchased two Rover 80’s to use for flathead fishing. The KastKing Rover reels are smooth and rock solid. I have two of the 60 models and have put them through a lot of abuse without any issues!
Highly recommend these reels!

I am an avid saltwater fisherman, on the Texas Gulfcoast, and have used four models of the Rover Round reels. Initially, I felt that the drags were a little weak, but they have since made upgrades to the drags, and these are my "go to" reels now. I catch big fish, and am very impressed with their performance. I routinely outcast friends with much more expensive reels.

I have only been largely lake and pond fishing most of my life and after getting a river rod with no reel on sale at a bait shop I looked into reels. This one seemed the best for my purposes and after using it and learning more about river baitcasters, it's a super sturdy reel that can cast like an absolute beast. Very happy with the purchase. The Kast King is the middle rod.

Packaging was top notch on delivery to me! I mounted this reel on a Kastking Kong 7’6” baitcast rod! This is my second Kastking conventional baitcaster reel the first was a 60R! The 50R works great, pretty easy to tune for different weight Catfish rigs such as Santee Cooper or Carolina Rigs! For the money these reels are a good combination for any Catfish or big water saltwater setups!

Perfect for lead core line trolling Stripers , salmon etc. The 60 size is 13 ounce light weight for my uncle he preferred a left handle . It can spool up to 5 colors of Suffix 36lb lead core maybe more from 12-27 lb lead core line. I mostly target Stripers in 15-25 feet depth trolling along the banks at inland lakes New Hogan and Fore Bay Oneil reservoir this cast reel is excellent for it , although I haven’t use it just got it on 1/31/25 . I like it a lot getting a right handle 60r myself and highly recommend it 100% !Update: 1st week of February 2025 . Caught 3 Stripers at Forbay Oneil reservoir. The Kastking Rover 60 size is excellent bait cast reel. It goes very well with 7 feet medium heavy rods it should last a lifetime got both in left and right handle great nice reel for under $60 !

very great handle cant wait to use it for catfishing
