Pros & Cons

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

Pros

Reel casts smoothly and easily with no hang-ups or tangling. Not overloading the spool and proper casting technique prevents such problems. No hitches or malfunctions. Tho speed * is i think a bit faster than this.

Value for the money is unmatched. Drag is accurate. Such a smooth and flawless reel.

Kastking blackhawk ii collapsible rod. I'm excited to see how well this reel holds up to the saltwater environment. The only thing i don't like about the sharkey is that the stem is a bit flexible.



Cons

If you want a decent cheap reel, look towards shimano, or daiwa. Once i received them, they are not a freewheeling reel. Its happening alot and it frustrates me because i never seen this in any other spinning reel.

    Firstly the handle doesnt collapse so it will be prone to breakage also the handle doesnt rotate to easily around especially with all the bearings they claim

    Secondly the drag was absolutely horrid it was choppy and not smooth at all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I spooled it with braided line and the line seemed to be draggin coming off the patented spool design


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Lastly the spool itself felt vey unstable in other words when you put your hand on it it was very wobbly not solid at all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I sent the reel back and giving them a second chance


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Feels more like a 100 to 150 dollar reel


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It has a small spool which you would expect on a reel this size


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The fashion is what caught my eye
