Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Once you get it to your liking, the sharky iii performs great. The drag adjustment is easy and accurate. Excellent customer service.

This is the smoothest reel i have ever felt. This reel is very smooth when casting and retrieving the line.

The abu revo sx is a top-of-the-range, all-in-one baitcaster. It is lightweight, quiet, and smooth to use. The paddle is very grippy but smooth at the same time.

This reel is reliable, affordable and well designed. This is my 4th kastking reel and i love them all. kastking made good with me on the reel.

It takes a few casts to get it dialed in. Great for flipping, casting, and trolling. Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your casting skills or an experienced angler, the sharky iii is an excellent choice.

Cons

The body feels like plastic compared to the graphite body of the eagle. I have to wiggle the spool with my finger back and forth several times for it to finally catch. Save your money and get a good quality reel.

Quality

It is lightweight, smooth, has great features and seems to be made with decent materials.

Magnetic braking works equally well great little reel.

Smooth drag when fighting a hard-hitting fish and no backlash when the real is setup right at a casting distance of a 125 feet.

Anything above 2 on the dial caused them be able to be heard when i cast and i could definitely hear the mechanism tighten and ... Read More

Price

I am happy with this reel at this price point.

Best real per ounce for the money.

At the current list price of $47.

99, this appears to be quite the deal.

Shipping

They went been on sale so my second one is due to arrive tomorrow .

Competitiveness

I like this one more than the leading competitor.

In my opinion, this reel compares well against reels for double the cost.

I have similarly priced reels from other chinese manufacturers and would rate this one at top of the heap.

I have large hands and it still feels larger than my other baitcasters (mostly shimano slx, quantum pro series, and an abu revo sx.
