Verus Baitcasting Reel - Upgraded Version

First impressions for this reel are great. Feels like it's made of quality materials. I like that the spool tension knob has detents so I can feel and hear exactly how much adjustment I'm making. Spooling it up with some 12lb mono and putting it on a cheap 66 rod I have I have yet to have a backlash. Playing with the tension and brake I feel like this thing cast forever long and is going to quickly become one of my new favorite reels. Very good bang for the buck. More to come as I get more time behind it. Tight Lines everyone!

Absolutely phenomenal reel, paired with 20lb fluro and it cast my swimbaits or glide baits flawlessly

Great reel, very smooth and great value

This thing yoinked a 9lb Coho salmon right out of the water like it was on a leash- it is absolutely NOT backlash proof but it is definitely a good reel for someone who is new to using a baitcaster

I’ve been fishing for several years now but have always used a spinning reel. I wanted to try a baitcasting reel. After doing a good amount of research, I ended up buying this KastKing Verus reel. I can say that I'm happy with my decision. At this price point, this is a great reel to get into. It's smooth as butter and is very quiet. It's easy to use and performs as well as some of my more expensive reels. It's not a beginner reel but I don't think you need to be skilled to use it either. Very nice reel for the money. You won't be disappointed.

Another great reel produced by Kastking. This reel not only looks awesome but this ultra lightweight reel fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and comfortably. I put it on a 7 ft. medium action rod and spooled it with 20lb braid. I started out casting some 1/4oz tubes and set the brake at 5 and casted effortlessly. Zero backlash. Set the brake all the way to 10 max and noticed it slowed up my casting distance a bit. So I set it at zero and boy did it cast, and zero backlash. The star drag adjusts easily with my finger or thumb. Retrieval is very smooth with no backlash on the retrieve. This is not my first reel from Kastking and won't be my Last. Don't hesitate just buy.
