Super smooth baitcaster. This thing looks good in both black and blue! It’s super fast and has great performance

KastKing is an awesome brand! They make high-quality products at a decent price. I own 5 reels and 4 rods from KastKing and they all work incredibly well. Seriously, I can't enough good things about KastKing and their products!

This thing is awesome it's light it retrieves properly and fast easy to use I love it absolutely love it

The media could not be loaded. I bought that reel for a backup setup. The reel is light, cast a good distance. It doesn't seem that much sturdy. The more problematic is that the reel screams to death when you cast. I never had that on a lew's or a shimano. Overall it works correctly but for sure it won't last years.

EDIT: Ok so I have been using the reel A LOT and randomly during a cast it squealed. Now it squeals every cast like the spool bearing is bad or something. It's weird because it still casts perfectly smooth.. I just took it apart and oiled everything, we will see it fixes the issue.I have been wanting to get a left handed retrieve bait caster for a while now just to try it out verses my right handed one. Didn't want to spend 100$+ on one and finally gave in to this one for 49$. Caught the bass in the picture today with it, not a monster bass but it wasn't tiny either. Great working reel!I'm actually surprised how nice it looks and material feels. The one I have is like a matte textured feel to it.The reel is very light weight and compact. Fits my hand perfectly. (Medium gloves for reference)I used it today for about 30minutes and it took me about 4 casts to get the brakes tuned in. I am by far not a pro caster but I know how set the brakes.It casts and reels very smoothly. Actually reels pretty fast too, I had to make myself slow down my reeling.When I first held the reel the cast button acted broken when I reeled. Then I realized it was because from factory the spool tention was completely loosened and it wasn't catching. I just tightened the spool up and it works perfectly.(To anyone who isn't sure how to do so), first loosen the spool tension to where the spool slightly shifts back and forth and then tighten it just enough to stop the shifting, then on the 1-10 magnet brakes set it at 10 make a cast and after each cast lower the magnetic brake until you start to get a backlash, once you start to get a backlash you know to set the magnetic brake slightly higher. Plus of course using your thumb to stop the spool.I would easily recommend this reel to anyone. It's cheap enough a beginner can learn on it, someone needing a new reel, or even someone wanting an extra setup.
