Highlights
Quality
I have been personally using kastking reels and rods for about four years now and have always been happy with the quality.
Drag control is easily performed and use of the carbon fiber discs should greatly prolong the useful life of the reel.
The reel is sealed against water and saltwater, and it operates only in anti-reverse all the time, there is no switch for changing it.
Rotor orientation is maintained once the bail is opened.
Price
Super happy with it especially for the price.
Great price for a little surf fishing on vacation.
It’s a good value for the price.
Read the specs on this reel and you will be impressed since it is only around $80.
Shipping
Item arrived fast and was packaged well.

Looks good as well, for those who care about that!

The quality shouts a reel that cost 3 times as much as the rekon.

The difference between this reel and my newest expensive reels is minor in cranking ease and quietness.
