Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality
Initial quality appears to be just as good as ~$100 reels i'm used to.
I very happy with the build quality and feel.
Although supposedly carbon fiber, it felt more like a cheap plastic reel then a better quality one.
I got this reel and paired it with the kastking black hawk 2.
Price
This reel was well worth the price.
Packaging/appearance
Great reel super smooth and packaging was one of the best i've seen
The reel was packaged well and appeared like will thought out packaging.
Competitiveness
I own several kastking products and enjoy them all.
I have been buying kastking products for a few years now and use them for inshore saltwater fishing.
Huge fan of kastking spinning reels and this is no different.
I own a couple kastking reels and they are top notch.

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

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

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
