Sharky III baitcasting reels are built with the Auto-Adjustable Crossfire 12 button magnetic braking system that provides incredible braking control. As the speed of the spool increases, the magnetic field adjusts to slow down the speed of the spool when braking is needed to prevent overruns. As the speed of the spool decreases, the magnetic field diminishes, and the magnets retract to maximize casting distance.
The Sharky III baitcasting reel’s carbon fiber frame, side covers, and star drag reduce overall weight to only 6.5 ounces while also providing the necessary strength to withstand the stress serious anglers will put this baitcaster reel through. The triple disc carbon fiber drag generates 17.6 lbs of maximum drag power. This system provides smooth drag without hesitation.
The Sharky III baitcasting reel is built with 10+1 double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings for silky smooth retrieves. With a 7.2:1 high-speed gear ratio, the Sharky III baitcaster reel is a highly versatile casting reel for anglers hunting for a new fishing reel. And the manganese brass pinion gear, hardened aerospace aluminum main gear, and brass main gear shaft ensure this reel maintains flawless performance for countless future fishing seasons.
Sharky III baitcasting reel’s patented LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex) line guide allows for less friction on the line as it leaves the spool, translating to fewer backlashes and longer casts. The shallow aluminum spool rotates faster than a traditional spool and provides additional control and exceptional casting accuracy.
Anglers are in complete control with the carbon fiber star drag, allowing them to easily adjust the drag pressure when hooked up and experience greater success landing big fish. And the tension knob features an audible click adjustment to keep your setting precisely in place and helps anglers make fine adjustments when needed. The lightweight aluminum handle provides strength while reducing weight, and the premium paddles offer excellent comfort.
For a low end reel it’s amazingly smooth and has easy adjustments. I paired it with a KastKing Speed Demon 6’10” jerkbait rod and this is a serious combination. It throws like a dream. Thank you KastKing for the amazing product and an awesome customer service!!!
This is my first Kastking baitcaster. Have multiple other brands more expensive and wanted to see how the sharky lll compares. The reel looks well fitted together with good cosmetics. Reel cranks very smooth, even smoother than my $200+ reels. At times while fishing I had to look if the spool was turning while cranking because I couldn't feel the gears meshing many times. Has medium shallow spool, indexed spool knob and drag star which I appreciate. It has good positive disengagment and reengagment. More bearings then most any reel at this price point. Nice grippy knobs. The drag pulls out smoothly by hand. Didn't catch anything yet with it to see how it does with fish on. Casts very smooth at a very good distance. The braking system is good for 1/4 oz to 5/8 oz but anything over that was not too good without loosing significant casting distance with brakes turned up to prevent a backlash. Didn't try anything under 1/4 oz. Still a good reel for what I use most of the time. I bought this on end of year clearance for 50% off. My only regret was not buying more at that price point. I'll definitely be checking out their higher end reels now that I know the value behind them. Good reel for the money even at regular price I would say. Warranty is 1 year I believe but would have to double check to be 100% sure. Don't know the longevity yet but being that they built it the way reels should be built, and they back their product, I expect I'll get well over it's price point worth.
This reel has earned a place in my arsenal due to it's castability, drag & size. From 1/8 to 1 oz lures this reel handles them with ease and I can cast a 1/2 oz. Chatterbait a good 45 yards with ease. For the money this is one fantastic reel. Go grab one to kick off your 2025 fishing season. You can thank me later.
