Good reel have used them now for 2 yrs. But know the cranking handle handles are falling off. It seems they are just glued on . Now looking for replacements. Iv had 2 do this now.
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.
