Smoothness
Customers are highly impressed with the smoothness of the KastKing Rover Round Baitcasting Reel, praising its ball bearings, retrieve, reeling action and overall performance. They find it easy to operate and a great bargain for the price.
Build Quality
Customers are highly impressed with the build quality of the KastKing Rover Round Baitcasting Reel, praising its sturdy design, impressive features, and attractive appearance. Some also appreciate its lightweight design and solid construction that has held up well during fishing trips.
Line Capacity
Customers are highly satisfied with the impressive line capacity of the KastKing Rover Round Baitcasting Reel, allowing them to load large amounts of braided line and effectively fish for various species such as catfish, salmon, steelhead, striper bass, and inshore saltwater fish. Some users have noted that it functions well with different rods and fishing styles, and its power handle ensures a solid and balanced feel. However, a small group of customers mentioned that the reel has a 5:3:1 gear ratio which requires faster reeling compared to their usual preference.
Drag Performance
Customers have generally positive opinions about the drag performance of the KastKing Rover Round Baitcasting Reel. They appreciate its smooth retrieve, solid drag, and ability to handle pressure. Some customers also mentioned that it's heavy but consider it a reasonable trade-off for its power and performance. The reel's large handle and meaty reel release work well with larger hands, and the bait clicker option is a popular feature among users. However, a few customers have reported issues with the her inertia braking system and the handle not engaging properly.

Almost impossible to backlash when properly set up, which only takes a minute or two.
Price
This reel is amazing for the money!
At this price point you really can't beat it.
99 with a 30% discount bringing it down to $51.
At time of this review, the 70-size reel was priced at $72.
Packaging/appearance
All these features are wrapped up in a beautiful black anodized aluminum shell with gold trim.
Inside the box are some kastking stickers and a parts list.
The reel is looks great in black with a gold label for the reel name.
Competitiveness
I got this rover 60 for catfishing right next to an older rover 70.
The rover has been a tried-and-true reel for years and probably the best value for any good baitcasting reel out there.
I have a few higher end catfish reels and this one is a competitor for a fraction of the price!
The rover has a line out clicker that is comparable to my abu garcia reels.
