Review: Ease of use and multitude of settings. - I gave this reel a workout for a couple days before writing this review. I am also a Shimano Curado angler so that is my main reels to compare with this Kast King Mega Jawa Elite reel. For those who want a quick statement about it. Its very comparible to the shimano curado K line of reels at a lower price point. I dont notice any lack of quality to get the lower price. It is a more attractive reel than the Curado series. I love all the gold trim especially the milled handle with Gold on the chamfer. As far as performance it has 10 settings for braking. unlike the Shimano Curado where you have to remove the cover to adjust the brake by flipping one of four levers, the Mega Jaws Elite has a dial recessed on the side. The optimal setting for me was between 3-4. I am an experienced baitcast angler but would not describe myself as advanced or expert. That group can probably set it lower. I got great casting distance at that setting and no backlashes with just a slight amount of thumb pressure at the end of cast. You can dial it in to cast with no thumb pressure but you will sacrifice some distance. That makes this a great reel for both beginners and advanced anglers. This reel is also about an ounce lighter than the shimano curado. The reel is smooth but I would give the edge to Shimano on that one. This might be due to the guide on the megajaws is longer than the shimanos which you can feel a little more friction as the braid moves through. probably would not notice with Mono or flouro. I did spool it with 50lb braid and did some pitching and flipping with a Jig. This reel has a flip switch where the thumb bar disengages as soon as you release pressure on it instead of cranking the reel handle. It takes getting used to as it changes how I have been programmed for flipping baits. I am not a fan of it but with some practice I am sure it works great. Like most bait casters the spool tensioner needs to be adjusted depending on the weight of the bait to avoid backlashing. Overall this is an excellent reel at its price point and to me it was simple to adjust and use.
Review: Decent reel - I bought two of these and use them as my main reels. I have one on a 7’ MHF spooled with 30lb braid to 12 flouro leader and another on a 7’3” H spooled with straight 17lb flouro. The 7’ is my do everything grab and go rod and through probably 1000s of casts on it now it still runs great. I put a few drops of oil in there from time to time and keep it wiped down and it just keeps going. If it ever breaks I’ll update my review. The 7’3” I use for frogs and bigger glide baits and stuff and this reel works ok for it but it’s probably not the best for the heavier lures. While they don’t seem to be as sturdy as my expensive Lews and stuff they are certainly very good for what they cost. I use the LH versions as I find casting with one hand then transferring it to the other is just silly.

## Features

- NEW AutoMag DUAL BRAKING SYSTEM - More stable and farther casting! KastKing MegaJaws Baitcasting Reels one-piece ring magnet provides uniform braking force during the entire cast. When the spool reaches peak speed an auto-adjusting centrifugal brake’s braking bars are thrown out, reducing the speed of the spool and avoiding backlash. When the speed of the spool is reduced to the critical point, the bars are retracted, eliminating the braking force giving you longer, trouble-free casts
- KastKing LFTV - MegaJaws baitcaster reels have unique KastKing LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex), funnel shaped ceramic line guides. They greatly reduce fishing line friction through the guide giving you super long casts and also help to reduce backlashes. LFTV makes the difference between a good casting reel and a great bait cast reel
- PALM PERFECT - LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN - Upgraded MegaJaws baitcasting reel, adopting KastKing Palm Perfect ergonomic engineering, are only 41mm tall and much lighter than before. MegaJaws baitcaster reel total weight only 6.7oz on the new model. Main gears and main gear shafts are made of hardened aerospace 7075 aluminum. Pinion gears are super hard manganese brass. Grips were changed from rubber cork to comfortable, lightweight EVA. MegaJaws baitcasting reel lets you fish longer with less fatigue
- COLOR- CODED SYSTEM - KastKing knows how difficult it can be to quickly identify a specific gear ratio reel on the deck of your boat for a specific fishing application. KastKing has given the MegaJaws baitcaster reels unique colors for each gear ratio so you can quickly identify the right reel for the job and gain a competitive advantage to win bass fishing tournaments. Select from 5.4:1. 6.5:1, 7.2:1, and one of the fastest ratios in the market -- 9.1:1
- CHAMPION APPROVED - Chosen by PROs! MegaJaws baitcasting reels helped Rob Branagh win the opening event of MLF 2022 at Lake Okeechobee. MegaJaws are full featured, tournament ready reels in every way. 11+1 double shielded stainless steel bearings throughout and stainless steel main shaft offer durability and performance as freshwater or saltwater baitcasting reels.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than a $230 reel
*by N***E on May 20, 2023*

Casts a great distance. I ordered 3! Casts farther than my more expensive 230 dollar reel, not as smooth reeling and has plastic parts. The drag is plastic but the reel is great. The flip function is fun, and useful. It seems solid. I don't write reviews so that is saying something about how much I like this reel. Has a nice sound to it when you cast. Light weight lures cast far when your dialed in. If your new to baitcast, watch a youtube video. This is great for beginners also, very little backlash if you don't set it. When it is dialed in you don't have to hold your thumb on the reel at all! That's huge when taking others fishing. Like I said, I liked it so much I bought 3. I rated the reel 4 out of 5 because of the plastic parts. I really wish it was all metal. But still a great reel for the price.
