Pros & Cons

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

Pros

Super lightweight and plenty sensitive. Price point is what brings fisherman to try their products. It is light, sensitive, sleek and will no doubt provide many more enjoyable fishing trips.

This combo is my new go to for alaskan coho. Has just the right amount of flex to keep those trebble hooks pinned. This rod is stiff yet allows for incredible sensitivity to the smallest nibbles.



Cons

Plastic thread for the reel nut is going to come off eventually as it hangs on very little. Same result with braided or 20 lbs fire line.

They have a bad warranty and service dept. Their warranty *. Looks like the glue didn't hold?

Quality


But the quality is definitely there, especially for the price!


I was happy with the purchase overall.


They might be durable but quality control is a disaster.


The quality inspection on the eyelet install could be better.

Price


I plan to buy more kast king rods and reels as long as the price stays down.


They are however inching up in price and will soon price themselves out of the niche.

Shipping


Before ordering this rod i read the negative reviews, most were damage during shipping, tip breaking or breaking near to joint.

Packaging/appearance


The rod was shipped in strong packaging.


It will be my go-to rod to muscle bassrats out of the weeds.

Competitiveness


First impressions of this rod it is going to be on par with all of the other kastking products


This rod i paired with a kastking spartacus red reel.


I’ve used kastking products but never the rods.


Guides were not aligned, 2pc rods fell apart when casting.

    I’ve used kastking products but never the rods


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It’s not the lightest but it’s definitely not the heaviest either


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Pole definitely has a lot of bend to it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now i didnt expect the kastking rod to be as good as the st


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I suppose its more important to have some bend in it for salt water fish to help keep that constant pressure on the fish


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My other rods wear me out after 4 hours of fishing killing my shoulders


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However this rod was as light as a feather but strong as an ox

    Yes i know this pole is specifically designed for bass and the lamiglass is a salmon rod
