Technology

You will love the exceptional design of the powerful 5 button magnetic brakes (it is so efficient this baitcaster only needs one brake system instead of dual brakes) and the technologically advanced KastKing "Double Tapered Control Chute" Line Guide that reduces line friction for ultimate line control and birds nest reduction. Plus, tournament ready 4-disc carbon fiber drag with 17.6 LBs of trophy fish stopping power, make the Spartacus II baitcast reel a strong contender.

Smooth

A Spartacus II bait casting reel has: superior shielded 7 + 1 corrosion resistant ball bearings, CNC anodized aluminum spool with power launch and aluminum handle for smooth casting, powerful precision machined hardened aluminum main gears, and KastKing logo embossed hi-grade EVA handle knobs. With an aluminum main gear, the reel is only 6 oz. That is unheard of for a reel under $50!

FAQ
Can this reel handle light baits well?
Yes. It casts light baits with ease thanks to its optimized spool and braking system.
What techniques is the 7.2:1 gear ratio good for?
The 7.2:1 gear ratio is an excellent all-around option for a wide variety of fishing techniques, from slow presentations to fast retrieves.
How durable is this reel and what species can it handle?
Despite being a budget-friendly baitcaster, this reel holds up well. Anglers have used it to land largemouth bass up to 3–4 lbs, pike, and other freshwater species, and it continues to perform smoothly over time.
How easy is it to adjust the magnetic brake system?
The magnetic brake system is very easy to adjust, allowing fine-tuning for all your casting needs, even if you’re new to baitcasters.
Is this reel beginner-friendly? Will it backlash easily?
Yes. This reel is beginner-friendly, especially with its adjustable braking system.
How should I maintain this reel for long-lasting performance?
Rinse the reel with fresh water after saltwater use, and regularly apply reel oil and grease. If you notice drag or casting issues, a simple clean and re-lubrication will restore performance.
Can this baitcasting reel handle bass fishing
Yes, it’s perfect for largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, making it a great choice for bass fishing.
Is this reel strong enough for pike?
Yes. Anglers have successfully landed pike with this reel. Its smooth and steady drag makes it well-suited for pike fishing.
Can I use this reel for trout fishing?
Yes. When paired with 8–12 lb fluorocarbon or braided line, this reel performs very well for trout fishing.
Is it good for catfish fishing?
It works well for small to medium-sized catfish. For very large trophy catfish, we recommend choosing a reel with higher max drag, such as Rover Round Baitcasting Reel.
Can this reel be used for saltwater fishing?
While mainly designed for freshwater fishing, it can also handle light inshore saltwater fishing. We recommend rinsing with fresh water after use to extend its lifespan.

This thing is legit!

I’ve used a spinning reel for years, but wanted to try a baitcast. I was nervous about birds nest, but the Spartacus 2 negated that. I had one very minor backlash on like my second cast right after I got line on it while trying to get the brake settings tuned, but after that and a full day of fishing without a single other issue I’m in love. You will not regret this buying this reel.

Great quality KastKing fishing rod & reel combo

This KastKing Spartacus II fishing baitcaster rod & reel combo is great quality and an amazing value! I really love the hunter green colors and the metal flake finish on the reel with lime green accents. Both the rod and reel are very lightweight yet durable for many fishing expeditions. The reel has a graphite frame and is very smooth with a 7.2.1 gear ratio, 7+1 ball bearings and 17.6lbs of max drag. The reel handle has large EVA foam ends on it for awesome gripping power and the aluminum spool is slotted. There is a non-slip rubber cork handle on the grahite rod for durability and stainless steel rod guides with zirconia rings for smooth flow of the fishing line. There is also a hook keeper molded into the forgrip on the rod. There is an extra rod tip included which is also amazing! This product came packed very well in a hard cardboard square tube which was packed inside another box. I have other KastKing products and am very pleased with all of them. I am very impressed with the overall design, features and quality of this fishing rod & reel and highly recommend this product as well as other Kastking products to all anglers out there.
