I had always had a VERY low opinion on Kast King reels. Have close friends that only used Kast King reels but in a full day of fishing would watch them struggle with backlashes, casting distance and simply overall quality.
Fast forward to the Deadbolt and I am blown away. I’ve hoped and wished for a reel that had zero drag or could effectively “lock out” the drag. Fishing in Central Florida, you are constantly fishing heavy cover, heavy vegetation, etc. with heavy braid. The LAST thing you want is a fish pulling drag on you.
Setting the hook with this reel, you just have to feel it to understand. It’s perfect!
Additionally, it casts like a dream, giving the distance along with the power you need to confidently cover water in these conditions because you know your hooksets are going to deliver 100% power!
Light weight!
Compact and comfortable!
Fantastic casting distance!
At a price point that just doesn’t make sense!!!
These have become my new personal tournament reels as well as my go to client/customer guide reels.
Great job Kast King! You’ve made me a believer and a fan!!!
I used this reel as my frog reels… I use different style of frogs so I have bought 3 of them… love these reels
I've only got to fish once with the dead bolt but I did catch fish with it and it performed flawlessly. I will say I have to get a little more used to the cast control settings because I believe once I get it really dialed in it will help me cast further and more accurate. It fits my hand perfectly, looks good, and does exactly as it should. It's my frog reel and I'll eventually get another for punching/flipping grass.
Great reel! Lightweight and casts great! I paired it with an ARK rod and now it’s my best frog 🐸 combo. I will be getting another one.
So far so good. Cast great and the smooth, time will tell how it holds up. Nice smallie on buzzbait & 36 degrees out.
