Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

One of them for my ugly stick big water with 30lb braid line. I'm not a braid guy and it took some getting used to. An absolute sleek, slick, sick fishing reel.

The only downfall is the tiny handle but was able to correct that by making a new eva one. Works great. Will definitely be purchasing another.

They are smooth with fast retrieval. Smooth as glass action. Stout and light, yet smooth like a hot knife through butter!



Cons

Buyer beware. Will never buy from this manufacturer again.

The frame now has significant corrosion on it. Bad craftsmanship is truly questionable on the megatron. The internal parts in order to be suitable for saltwater use should be made out of stainless.

This is where the finish came off after i bent the handle back into place. It only has a small finger knob grip on the handle. Broke handle off trying to get it loose.

Kast king could improve their qc prior to shipping out products.

Competitiveness


I have bought a few kastking reels.


One of them for my ugly stick big water with 30lb braid line.


Paired it with a kastking resolute 6'6 medium rod.


You could spend 4-5 times the money on another brand, and still not be as satisfied as you will be with your kastking.

    This one showed up loose in the box without the cardboard divider that holds the reel in place like other kastking reels

    It was just tossed in plastic bag and had a bunch of fingerprints on it like it had been handled

    I doubt these reels will last forever


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Upon installing the handle i noticed a small white plastic piece was broken but i doubt this will affect the reel as it was just the nut screw adjacent to the handle
