KastKingSpartacus II Plus Baitcasting Fishing Reel, 5.5 oz Ultra Lightweight, Ultra Smooth 17.6 LB Max Drag, 7.2:1 Gear Ratio, 10 + 1 MaxiDur Double Shielded Ball Bearings, Palm Perfect Design

I was not familiar with Kast King reels until recently. Reel is sleek and small and has a sexy black paint job! Very comfortable handles and a smooth retrieve. I think this is one of the best reels for the money! Can't speak on the durability yet since I haven't had it long but it appears to be very well made. Worth a try!

Awesome reel and great value. To me it performs just as good or better than reels two times the price. It has a nice, sturdy, aluminum handle, which also makes it lightweight. The reel is smooth and handles really easy. I would definitely recommend.

Casts well, smooth drag, and great for the price.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the reel. It’s super light weight but still has over 17 lbs. of drag. The reel is smooth and everything seems to resemble a $200 reel. KastKing continues to make quality stuff while sticking to it’s motto of keeping prices affordable. Bravo!

This is my first casting reel and I was very uncertain if I could learn to use it!I also purchased the kast king matching rod, 7’ medium fast, I used 30lb braid.The quality and smoothness of the reel is impressive! My first attempts were laughable with a couple bird nests. But after playing with the reel spool tension and the magnetic braking I had it dialed in with the rapala type bait I was using. The second trip to my dock I was getting nice long casts and scored two of the largest bass I have caught all summer. I would highly recommend this Kast king rod a reel it’s a high quality and great value product. I will be buying more kast King products!!! Very Happy!!!
