Pros & Cons
Pros
Reels are great-smooth casting and retrieval, indexed drag and spool tension adjustments. Another small thing that i like is that the spool is easy to remove. For the price this reel is exceptional.
Easy to adjust so changing lure sizes is quick. It is a good size if you plan on throwing baits all day. I have the 200 version of this baitcaster as well and this one performs just as good.
Cons
Reels are in desperate need of fine tuning with regards to design and durability. Only used twice. Lost it overboard along with the entire spool of line, a jet diver and pet spoon. Do not buy this reel.
Highlights
Quality
Casts well, drag is smooth, seems to be well made.
Seems very well made and is super easy to cast.
A bearing failed on the reel within the warranty period.
On second trip the left side of the reel fell off while in the locked position.
Price
You cannot beat it especially for the price
The bang for the buck is incredible.
All in all easily $100 down the drain.
) i didn't want to spend a lot on a reel in case i lost it or it was stolen.
Shipping
I contacted the support line and they got back to me promptly.
Took it ought for the maiden voyage and landed a couple of really nice bass using a spinner and rattle worm.
Reel arrived and i spooled 10ld test braid on it.
Kastking sent a paid postage stamp to return the reel.
Packaging/appearance
Arrived well packaged with great setup info and was easy to spool.
Competitiveness
The grand royale 2 is the superior product in terms of durability.
Kastking proves yet again to compare to brands three times its price.
Bought my second reel to replace another brand that i simply could not get dialed in.
