Pros & Cons
Pros
Light and sensitive. Casts a country mile. Super responsive when picking up bites and/or setting the hook. Well constructed. Easy to cast, line guides are super smooth.
The kastking brutus 4000 is a great rod for bass fishing. It's great for saltwater fishing, too. It seats the reel snug and secure.
Cons
Kastking is usually good on customer support but you have to pay shipping and the cost of shipping for a rod this cheap, it's just not worth it. Sad but can’t recommend it to anyone. Warranty is a joke.
I have a 2 piece shakespeare microlite i bought from walmart for 20 bucks that outperformed this brand. The tips of these rods are actually brittle because they are so thin and rather stiff. Unbelievable how fragile this rod is.
With 10 pound mono on the reel, i got hung on some brush in 20ft of water. Second eyelet from the tip is faulty and has exposed metal ridge. Also the eyelets are not lined up with the reel mount.
Highlights
Quality
I am truly impressed by the quality you get for the money.
Great ro,super light and pairs well with the crixis reel.
The medium fast rod by kastking works great for walleye with a light ‘hit’.

Price
Kastking is a great discount company, i highly recommend.
Shipping
It’s an amazing rod, i haven’t been able to use it yet but it is very sturdy, great looking, and very very good shipping.
They definitely know how to package a fishing rod for shipping.
Packaging/appearance
This is an excellent value rod, packaging was superb and the craftmanship is very good.
Competitiveness
The first thing i can tell you is that when you order a kastking rod, you can be pretty certain it will arrive in perfect condition.
Going to use this rod with 2 different reels, one 2000 and 2500 both with 15# spiderwire braid.
But it does not hold a piscifun viper 2000 worth a darn.
While it's not a premium rod, i would imagine another manufacturer could market it better and sell it for twice the price.

Rest assured if you order a kastking rod youll have to break it yourself after you unpack it from the plastic bag and foam pads that secure it inside of the indestructible heavy cardboard tube thats inside the cardboard box they shipped it in

When searching for this item i failed to pay attention to the fact that options for this item were both spinning and baitcasting rods and accidentally ordered a spinning rod as i was focused on the advertised length and action
