I can’t say anything about these products, I think I’ve ordered 3-4 reels so far. These are awesome. I build custom fishing rods (@Onlyfish_CustomRods) for a side hustle, and every now and then when I do an event I’ll throw some of these KastKing reels on my rods and they sell like candy!! Couldn’t be happier
smooth and solid reel at a very reasonable price, thanks
Only used it a couple times so far but absolutely loving it! I love the black and gold, it's a piece of art work on a rod. The 6.2:1 ratio is perfect for inline spinners for trout and crappie but it's got enough strength to haul in a steelhead if I hook into one of those by accident. Looking forward to many more years out on the water with it.
I’m pleased with my new Sharkey X. Think it’s a great value and very smooth!
Lined it with 30# braid and santee dragging rig for catfish. Only caught 1 that was 25" long but this combo handled like a champ. This is my second combo and want to test it on catfish.
First of all this is about the lowest price point to hope for a decent reel and this one is very good.
This is an awesome reel. It looked small for a 4000 series reel. In fact the spool diameter might be lacking there compared to other brands with the same size. It does cast just fine, but I would go to a different reel for surf fishing, or if I wanted extreme bomb casts for some reason.
This is a great reel. What stands out most to me is cranking power and stability. For lure retrieval and fish fighting, it matches all my bass fishing bait casters, so the only downside compare to casting reels for bass fishing is having to use a bail in line management. Since, no matter what , I always take at least on spinning reel with me that is going to come with it anyway.
The reel's compact size and extreme power make it pair up well with a large range of rods., huge advantage. This can go on a light , through the middler power, and up to a fairly heavy rod. It may look a little odd at the extremes, but it can definitely work with proper line sizes spooled on. It would be a great reel to get a few extra spools for.
So back to the brute strength of this reel. I have half a dozen slightly below, or slightly above this price range and this one is stronger than any of them. Looks and fishes like it is as good on all other measures. The pflueger arbor 3500 at just $10 more, is good and has the advantage of the large diameter spool and comes with 2 spools , so these are my co-favorites for now.
