KastKing Royale Legend Spinning Fishing Reel, Available in 5.2:1 and 6.2:1 | 5.2:1/6.2:1 Gear Ratio, Up to 22 Lbs of Carbon Drag, 5+1/7+1 Stainless Steel BB, Asymmetric Spinning Reel Rotor Design

Loaded this reel with 50 lb test of power pro braid and went after red fish. Casting and retrieval is very smooth. Nice crispy bail closure, no squeaks or cracking when using. A real pleasure to use. Had a couple of red fish that required drag adjustments and I found that to be very linear. Performs every bit as good as my expensive Penn reel. I will buy another

This is my 3rd reel of the same kind just on other rods, they are awesome. I battle all kinds of fish in the gulf. Lightweight but tough reels. I love the zero handle return slack in the gears unlike some reels can have the little bit of bail movement this one is awesome and just does it right.

It works great the action is smooth, it is well made and the perfect size for me to pan fish. The drag is smooth and easy to use. It looks great and the quality is very good. It fits well on my rod and works well for my fishing style

I just got the reel & haven't fished with it yet. I just want to give my initial impressions. I'll update my review after I've used it a few times. The first things I noticed were, first of all, unlike some of the other Kast King spinning reels I've bought this one only comes with one spool. That's not a problem for me since the spare spools are usually not the best quality anyway. It's just nice to have a backup if you only bring one reel and happen to get spooled. The reel also has an anti reverse switch, another thing I never use, and one more thing to go wrong, but I know they're people who do like to use it. It should be fine as long as it's kept clean and free of salt or sand. When I put the handle on I realized that it doesn't fold. I rarely fold my handles anyway, but it can be a useful feature at times. Otherwise this reel seems like a great little reel for the money. It's very smooth and feels solid. It's possibly a little heavy for a reel of it's size, but I consider that a trade-off for the aluminum spool and solid frame, which I'd choose over plastic all day long. The description says the reel has a carbon fiber drag and stainless steel main shaft and double shielded ball bearings. This reel should last a long time and perform well with a little bit of routine maintenance. This should be a great little all purpose reel for fresh and salt water.

I got this to replace the reel in a cheapy combo set from Wally a couple years back. First year trying for pinks. After a few battles, the original reel somehow got warped and the spinner was no longer smooth. Decided to replace it with this Kastking Royale Legend (3000 size) and it was night and day. This was smooth and quite. Granted, the cost of this reel was almost as much as the combo, tells you how cheap the combo was. Put some 15lb braid on it and good to go. The only gripe if there is one is the bail only opens at certain points. I'm just a "weekend" angler and not much experience with higher end reels, so take this review with that in mind, but so far 6 pinks 😀.

Great quality

My dad loved it. Said it was very smooth and well put together.

I had purchased one already and after using it I decided on getting another one. Easy to cast and yes I know it’s a spinning reel but it’s flawless and drag works great.

Very well built .bail snaps over with percussion , looking forward to ripping some lips with it ! If had to be critical drag should be a little louder & reel a little lighter. All & all I’d buy another.

Mon gars adore son nouveau moulinet

Spool stopped moving up and down so line ends up gathering on top in one place. Subsequently, when casting, birds nests results on line. Only used lightly around 10 times. Do not buy this brand.

es muy buen carrete aunque creo que les hizo falta mejorar o detallar los acabados comparándolo con el sharky iii de la misma marca , pero sigue siendo muy buen carrete de pesca
