I have reels from $30 to $250, this thing is a monster, best bang for your buck. Caught a handful of jumbos along with a 4lb large mouth icing fishing with it on a 30"ML 13 fishing rod & 4lb mono.

Smooth and lightweight

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

Color: Centron Lite - Collapsible HandleSize: Size 3000Verified Purchase

With 12lb braid this reel casts and reels very well with no binding. A month in, this reel really couldn't be better, and I consider it an excellent value. I've caught many bass on it. It doesn't twist the line in regular use which I appreciate. I flip the bail manually each cast, and watch for line not laying as it should. It's almost trouble free and I'd buy it again.

Update: after a 3 months this reel continues to perform well. The bail doesn't twist the line. Few wind knots but I flip the bail manually and watch for loops like a hawk. I bought a 4000 (black, not "Lite") and it was too big and heavy, so I returned it and bought another 3000 (black, not "Lite") which is a good size for shaky head, wacky worm, t-rig etc. I have several baitcasters and spinning reels and have fished since the 1970s. These are good spinning reels.

Awesome reels

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024

Color: Centron Lite - Collapsible HandleSize: Size 4000Verified Purchase

I've had a couple for a few years now and they are the smoothest winding and the smoothest drag I've used, with that said I havent spent 100 bucks on an open face either...... they have held up nicely, the only complaint I have is if you wind with loose line at the start they are prone to get the line up under, behind the spool or worse yet even deeper. If you can remember to keep a tight line b4 you wind it virtually eliminates this problem. To the manufacturers.... if the spool was a quarter inch longer at the line reservoir and a quarter inch longer towards the handle I think this would also solve the problem. A wider reservoir for the line is a HUGE plus in open face reels.... HUGE.... All in all I absolutely love these reels. I now have 5 of them I think. For the money you cannot come close. If you have any doubts please try one. I promise you wont be disappointed. As a matter of fact I think you will be amazed. I love mine.....

For the price, decent reel.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024

Color: CentronSize: Size 500 - Ice Fishing / UltralightVerified Purchase

Bought the black one to go on a collapsible rod to store behind my truck seat. All of my other reels are pricey and I did not want to risk damage or theft on it so for the "on sale price" I ordered it. This si not the first Kastking I have had over the years, I have bought baitcasters and a couple other older spinning reels to give to friends, all worked great. Out of the box, clean, well built, solid lock up on the anti-reverse and instant. It was a little stiff but, cranked it for a few minutes to spread out any lube inside on the gears and it smoothed up. Might not hurt a opening it up and add some reel grease but, we will see. I will put 6lb or 10lb braid on it then mount it on a 4'6" collapsible rod I have to leave in the truck along with a small box of hooks etc. Should be a perfect reel for trout, bluegils and crappie.

Good quality spinner reel

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2024

Color: CentronSize: Size 500 - Ice Fishing / UltralightVerified Purchase

I absolutely love to fish and when I saw these spinner reels go on sale I jumped right on it! It’s that time of year when Crappie start going crazy so I decided to give my Crappie rods some new hardware. These reels look so good straight out of the box. Seriously! I wanted to set them on display in the house but my wife vetoed that decision! 😜
They’re very smooth with 17.5 pounds of drag and 9+1 bearings. I like the KastKing brand and the quality that comes with the name. The size 500 is perfect for Crappie fishing.

Cheap

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024

Color: CentronSize: Size 3000Verified Purchase

The reel felt smooth, reeled very well, and I was impressed at first. However it did not last two weeks before it broke. Any, and even small fish puts a lot of tension on the cheap plastic parts that are shown broken. If you were careful and using it just for pan fish it would probably be ok for a while. Maybe I just got one out of a bad batch? I would not purchase another one tho, as I also purchased a royale casting reel and I was disappointed in it from the start, felt terrible , wasn’t smooth at all, very noisy. A good greasing and I do use it for trolling but I would not use it casting all day.
