After more than 20 years of use, my old Daiwa 500 reel finally started giving me trouble this past weekend while trout fishing — jamming and tangling up. It’s been a great reel with a lot of memories, so I’ll try to repair it, but if not, this will be its replacement. I picked up the 500 size to match my St. Croix rod, and based on my experience with KastKing so far, I feel pretty confident in the choice. At this point, I’ve used several of their rods and reels, and I’ve been consistently impressed. This reel continues that trend right out of the box — it feels lightweight, smooth, and well built. The operation is clean, and the reel has a solid feel without being heavy. It looks like a great fit for lighter setups like trout fishing. I haven’t had it out on the water yet, but based on everything I’ve experienced with KastKing so far, I’m expecting it to perform well. Pros Lightweight and smooth operation Good match for light rods and setups Solid build quality Great value for the price Consistent with other KastKing gear Cons Not yet tested on the water Hard to replace a reel with 20 years of history Overall, this looks like a great replacement option for a well-used setup. KastKing has quickly become one of my go-to brands, and I’m looking forward to putting this reel to work. And honestly… how many rods and reels are too many? 😄 Review: The KastKing Centron Spinner - I didn’t expect anything other than a low grade reel after owning a couple other bottom range models with a low end name-brand. However the quality and reliability of KastKing turned out to be much higher than what I expected. After owning this reel I have purchased many more KastKing gear because they are very affordable and have high quality components. The KastKing Centron spinning reel out performs better known name brand reels. They are not cheaply manufactured nor cheap to produce. They have been compared to other high end brands and they can easily hold their own. This Centron model is a great all around freshwater fishing reel. I own many of KastKing fishing devices and have saved a lot of money without having a low end product. From fishing line to fishing rods and fishing attire, KastKing has proven to be a great product for fishing. I highly suggest checking it out. Very low prices for the most popular and reliable fishing gear. ## Features - Ultra Smooth Powerful - KastKing Centron spinning reel's Superior Drag System offers incredible stopping power up to 17.5LBs.

Firstly, if dunk a non rated saltwater reel in saltwater, you deserve to have it locked up on you. Common sense goes a long way, tho obviously rare these days. I’ve used plenty of freshwater gear for saltwater with zero issues. I don’t dunk them. I do rinse off with freshwater, and periodically (4xs a year) take apart and oil my reels. As with anything, take care of it and it’ll take care of you!! **Q: I got the 3000. Would that be allright for my 7 ft med action rod?** A: The 3000, size wise is on par with most 2500 series reels(Shimano)! A 6ft to 7ft Rod would not be an issue for this reel. Just consider what rod would fit your fishing requirements. **Q: Does this bring an extra spool** A: This reel does not include and extra spool. **Q: How do I send reel back to amazon** A: By contacting Amazon customer service, not asking people that bought it ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Replacing a 20-Year Favorite — Impressed with KastKing So Far *by E***. on April 14, 2026* This one comes with a bit of a story.

This fit what I wanted. I never had a KastKing before so I was skeptical. It was small enough, smooth casting, handled nicely, looked good, and had all of the add ons that you would need. Well, it worked on the trip and the price was good. For camping and especially for beginners this is a good reel. I would recommend this. ## Frequently Bought Together - KastKing Centron & Centron Lite Spinning Reels, Freshwater and Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel, Up to 17.5Lbs Max Drag, 5.2:1 Gear Ratio, Ultra Smooth Powerful, CNC Aluminum Spool, 9+1 BB Light Weight - Berkley Trilene XL Monofilament Fishing Line - KastKing SuperPower Braided Fishing Line - Abrasion Resistant Braided Lines – Incredible Superline – Zero Stretch – Smaller Diameter – A Must-Have! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/22610439-kastking-centron-and-centron-lite-spinning-reels-size-500-is](https://www.desertcart.us/products/22610439-kastking-centron-and-centron-lite-spinning-reels-size-500-is) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
