Crafted with a glass fiber reinforced nylon frame and CNC aluminum handle arm, this reel weighs only 6.3oz. It’s strong enough to handle trophy fish while keeping your wrist comfortable for all-day casting. Large EVA knobs give you a secure, non-slip hold—even when wet—reducing hand fatigue and giving you better fish control during long battles.
Magnetic and centrifugal brakes work together to give you precise control in any condition. Adjust easily for different lure weights and wind situations while keeping backlash to a minimum.
The CNC long-cast spool paired with our patented LFTV line guide reduces friction for effortless, longer, and more accurate casts—so your lure lands exactly where you want it.
Premium carbon fiber drag washers deliver up to 13.2 lbs of smooth stopping power. The crisp drag clicker lets you hear and feel every adjustment.
Built with a double-supported main shaft and precision-machined brass pinion gear, this reel runs 35% smoother and lasts 30% longer than typical reels in its class.

The Sharky lll Long Cast Reel is everything it is advertised to be. I used the reel spooled with 10lb test last Friday chasing smallmouths below bait. The reel casts really well and had no problem with a 1/4 oz jig head with a 3.3 swim bait. The reel not only casts well but has an excellent drag system. It’s everything that I expected from KastKing, quality and value. I now own 13 KastKing reels not counting the ones I gave my son. Once again great product.
This reel is in between a bfs and regular sized bass reel. It casts very well. It may be my all time favorite smallmouth reel. I bought it with the Versus casting rod (7’ medium, 6-12lb line). It would probably work well with a light bfs rod though I haven’t tried it with mine. The spool is super light and shallow but still holds much more line than a bfs reel. Braking system works well and is easy to dial in, I took the play out of the spool and pretty much just use the mag dial when I change lures. This reel is a sleeper, I can’t believe theres not a single YouTube video of this superb reel. (Jimmy does one or 2 on the older version but not this one)
I have the sharky3,Royal Legand Glory and the Spartacus 2.all 3 are just great.They all work as advertised.Icant find a thing bad to say about them.The proper set set up is a must.Watch the videos in the advertisement.on the set up.Im not a pro and i have had back lashes before, but so far with Kastking very little.All there reels work and work well.Try them you wont be dissapointed.Thank you KASTKING.Dan Gibson
I just got the reel and have used it once at the time of writing this review.
The reel is very light, and feels solid in the hand. I spooled mine up with 20lb 8 carrier braid, and used a 15lb Fluorocarbon leader. I rigged it up with a 1/4oz Free rig, with a baby D-Bomb.
This reel is incredibly smooth, and it really does cast very far. I tested it's casting capability against my Shimano SLX DC with a 1oz Walking bait, and the Sharky III cast the 1/4oz Free rig just as far as the Shimano cast the 1oz walking bait. I was very impressed.
I was also impressed that this baitcaster's spool clicks when drag is pulled.
I cannot speak to longevity, but initial impressions are very positive.
KastKing Sharky III Long Cast Baitcasting Reel
I've only had a chance to use it once since I got it but, It casts very smooth and great distance. Like the other KastKing reels I have its very comfortable in my hand. If your thinking about it...do it.
