Having used previous KastKing low-profile baitcasters, I was extremely curious to see how this line of reels would be.All I can say is WOW. I'm not much of a baitcaster guy, but this reel has really made learning easy. The breaking system is great, and even paired with a 10-20lb MH rod, I can launch tiny baits out far without a chance of a birds nest. It also doesn't break the bank which is fantastic.

Very cool small reel that fits into your hands. Love the side plate as it is connected to your reel even when it is opened up. Will never lose the side plate againColor coded reels based on speed is cool, I have purchased the fastest one in Red 8.1:1 for topwater fishing. If this works great, i will buy more for other speeds so that I can have different setup for different presentation. Very cool idea!

My KastKing Royale Legend Elite reel is one of the best reels I own and I'd put it up against the big names out there any day. It casts as far as my Tatula, reels as smooth if not smoother, and cost less than half what I paid for the Daiwa. I couldn't be more happier with the reel and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody who wants a quality reel. I have the KastKing 12# braided line on it and can cast a 1/4oz lure maybe 100' without strong-arming the rod. Opening it up inside you'll find everything to be comparable to the big name reels too. Their warranty and customer support is hard to beat as well. Give them a try and you too might be in disbelief. Quality gear at an affordable price.

First impression of the Royale Legend Elite Reel out of the box is it is very smooth. The small compact design makes it easy to palm the reel. I choose to go with the 7.3:1 gear ratio and plan to use it to the fullest extent. I paried this with a KastKing Rod. I have always liked the way KastKing made it easy to access the magnetic brakes , and the swing Wing is definitely a plus since the Royale Legend Elite is so compact I won’t have to worry about loosing the side plate. The price was also a bonus. A reel of this caliber I would of expected to pay more however it is affordable. Can’t wait to get this bad boy out on the water!

I purchased this reel as my first real bait caster. I had an old one from Bass Pro Shops that I received as a gift while in high school, but I could never figure out how to use it without getting bird nests every time. Well, fast forward 10 years and I started getting back into fishing again and finally learned how to use it. I quickly realized I needed to update my rod and reel, so I did a ton of research and decided to go with this KastKing Royale Legend Elite 7.3 (left handed). It's been about 6 months since I pulled the trigger and I have used this reel roughly once or twice a week. So far, it has held up great and I would absolutely recommend it to any beginners out there or folks that are on a budget. The reel is very easy to dial in and the smoothness and casting distance is excellent for the price. I love not having to open up the side plate to adjust the magnetic brakes too. I usually keep them set at 4 or 5 depending on the conditions and lures I'm throwing. Speaking of lures, this reel can easily throw your lighter soft plastics (I like to use 1/8th ounce tungsten weights with a craw or creature bait or weightless senkos), but I've also thrown 2.5oz Huddleston swimbaits with it. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend the KastKing Royale Legend Elite!

This is an awesome reel. It has quickly become one of my favorites. I chose the blue 6.6:1 gear ratio for the capability to be an all purpose reel. I paired it with a 7ft MH rod. The reel is smooth is casting and retrieve. The rubberized handles make for a non slip feeling action event when wet. One of my favorite features is the attached side plate. I no longer need to worry about dropping the side plate in the water when making braking adjustments. The reel is light and is great with both braid and mono. The magnetic break adjustment nob is a little small for my fingers, but it is still easy to adjust. All around great reel and it's pretty as well.

Have been using this reel for two months now and extremely happy with the performance. It is extremely smooth ,Drag is great, casts like a champ and absolutely no problems with it. I did open the reel to see if it was greased adequately and decided there was too much grease for my liking - (My opinion! ) Anyway, I cleaned out the factory grease and replaced with my choice. I do this with all new reels that I purchase, not just KastKing. I have several KastKing reels and all are great to use. Many Thanks to KastKing !!

This quickly became my favorite baitcaster. I'm a huge Kastking fan boy so my opinion may be bias. I've only recently got into fishing so take that for what it's worth. With that being said this is great for beginners. My learning curve was relatively small. Of all my baitcasters this was the easiest to tweek to my liking. The brakes are so good you don't have to use your thumb if you don't want to. What makes this stand out from my other 4 baitcasters is the ergonomics. I can palm this with ease, which of course depends on the user. Oh did I mention this thing looks futuristic. It's easily the coolest looking baitcaster I own and we all know being cool is most important. lol

I've had it for a few months and I feel good with it. I use it on my short jerk bait rod so I throw light long baits that get ate up by the wind. The reel feels very compact and built well. In comparison I think my SLX is a little better and I got that for $75. It might be an unfair comparison as the SLX usually casts heavier lures but the SLX just seems less picky. However, I've had reels in this price range and this feels better and has a much better construction. I think if I could do it again I'd buy another SLX, but honestly I'm happy with it and hopefully it last a long time.
