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.

All the KastKing reels are amazing. This reel is one of their lower priced reels. With coupons you can get this reel for about $20 or so. The reel is lightweight and well built. The blue reel comes in several sizes for any type of fish you are targeting. The white reel is geared towards Ice Fishing.

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

I've never used or even heard of kastking until I stumbled on it here on Amazon. I've always used Quantum, Shimano Diowa and well.. You get the point (big name and big price tags). I was looking for a cheap reel for my son to learn on. I was so impressed with the performance, comfort quality and speed, that I purchased one to keep on my "truck rod". It's got a decent sized handle that works well for kids and adults of all ages, it was a little loud at first but a quick lube and grease job with quality reel care products took car of that.
Very easy to use and learn on for younger anglers.

Amazing real caught multiple 30 pound black, drum and red drum on this reel the only thing I can complain about is the drag no longer clicks when tightening or loosening, after catching so many Giants and the bail screws are rusting pretty fast
