Put these KastKing Spartacus II spinning rods against ANY big names in the market (especially "entry-level" rods made by St Croix, Douglas, Penn, you name it) and these KastKing graphite rods are easily as good if not better. I literally ordered two of the medium/fast-action 7'3" Spartacus II rods and used them for night walleye fishing the day they arrived. I reeled in over a dozen walleye on these rods ranging from 2-9 lbs, and many smallmouth bass weighing 2-5 lbs. These are amazing rods...the rod tips have optimal sensitivity to feel those rather subtle walleye bites, and they have the perfect amount of "back-bone" for reeling in big walleye and bass. These rods are absolutely the perfect length and sensitivity I like to use for all of my bass and walleye fishing out from boat or shore on Lake Erie, for drop-shotting AND jigging. It's not easy to find 2-piece, 7-ft 3-inch rods with these specs, and they're always missing something you'd like to have on your rod. KastKing got this one right and priced them out to sell. I'd recommend pairing these with 2000-3000 sized spinning reels. 2000-sized is optimal, 3000 if you really need the larger spool and line. Love the hook keeper, the fact that these rods separate into 2 pieces for easy storage and transport, and the absolute BONUS of coming with extra rod tips. Don't need to worry about my kids breaking rod tips since I have replacements. The "big overpriced brands" you see at the big sporting goods store would charge well over $100 for these rods, and no way they'd include tip replacements up-front. Thanks, KastKing, for making these rods affordable and getting ALL the features right...2-piece, hook keeper, IM6 graphite, the tip replacements, and the cork handles are very comfortable. This is a 5-star dropshot/jigging rod for bass, walleye, and all types of fishing in general. Highly recommend. I'll be buying more for sure especially to replace other rods that I have (that were more expensive). And btw, that small "hook" on the handle near the reel seat is a HOOK KEEPER. I saw a review where someone was complaining about snags while casting with this rod, then saw his line literally running through the hook keeper and out the rest of the guides. No wonder he was getting snagged and tangled up. Review: A most excellent rod - I bought the KastKing Spartacus II reel and had that on a different rod. Long story short- my kid adopted the rod and reel combo so I wanted to buy a spare rod and reel to replace the one I had just lost. Ordered a second Spartacus II reel and was going to order the same rod I had the other reel loaded on, but this rod came up in the section that appears after you place an item in the cart so I clicked the link to look it over. After reviewing the specs I decided to give it a go and placed the order. Glad I did, this is a very nice rod. First, the delivery and packaging: This came very well packaged in a heavy duty tube, the rod itself was wrapped in plastic so there is really no way it could get damaged in delivery unless delivered by Godzilla. Excellent job on the packaging and delivery! The rod comes with an extra tip section, which is awesome. I hope KastKing continues to offer this because we all know that sometimes a rod can get damaged and that damage tends to be the tip of the rod so this will certainly come in handy, maybe. I say maybe because this rod is pretty sturdy and the tip bends quite far. The look and feel: This is an amazing looking rod, and with the Spartacus II reel, you can't beat the combo. It has good action and has a good weight, the cork makes this thing super comfortable and adds to the look of the rod. Personally I love the look and feel of cork handles, and this just looks and feels like a super quality rod. Paired with the Spartacus II reel, this a very nice looking and performing combo. My kid saw the rod and reel combo all set up and dubbed it "the Green Arrow". Overall: I recommend giving this a try, I don't think it will disappoint. ## Features - All-Day Comfort: The KastKing Spartacus II Fishing Rod features a Stryker Green main body and a slip-resistant rubber cork handle that delivers exceptional comfort, especially during long fishing trips. - Strong & Sensitive Construction: Made from 24-ton carbon fiber and IM6 graphite blanks, this fishing rod offers unbeatable strength and sensitivity that allows you to detect even the slightest bites, increasing your chances of catching your desired species of fish. - Smooth Casting Experience: The PTS Power Transition System and Tangl-Free Stainless Steel Guides ensure increased casting distance and accuracy, while ultra-thin Zirconium Oxide Rings reduce friction and prevent line tangling for a consistently smooth casting experience. - Extra Tip: KastKing Spartacus II Fishing Rod are available in 14 size options, including 8 spinnning rods and 6 casting rod models. Spartacus II Fishing Rods are 2-piece rods and comes with an extra same tip section for additional convenience to your fishing trips. - High-Performance Fishing Rod: The Custom KastKing Foregrip includes a patented hook keeper integrated into the handle, providing easy bait storage. These features make the KastKing Spartacus II Fishing Rod a high-performance and reliable choice for all your fishing needs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BQB9KT4D | | Action | Fast | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,862 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #3 in Fishing Rods | | Brand | KastKing | | Brand Name | KastKing | | Color | Stryker Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 595 Reviews | | Fishing Rod Power | Medium Heavy | | Fishing Technique | Spinning | | Grip Type | Split | | Handle Material | Cork | | Included Components | 2-Piece Spinning Rod, Extra Tip | | Item Type Name | fishing-rods | | Line Weight | 17 pounds | | Manufacturer | KastKing | | Manufacturer Part Number | AMIB-KRDSPNSP2-70MH2-US-FBA | | Material | Graphite | | Material Type | Graphite | | Model Name | Spartacus II | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Rod Length | 84 inches | | Size | 7'0"- MH- Fast (2pcs+ Extra Tip) | | Tension Supported | High | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KastKing - **Color:** Spin Stryker Green - **Fishing Technique:** Spinning - **Material:** Graphite - **Number of Pieces:** 1 ## Images ![Spartacus II Twin-Tip Spinning & Casting Fishing Rods | 2-Piece Rods with Extra Tip Section, IM6 Graphite Blanks, PTS Power Transition System, KastFlex Tech, Rubber Cork Handle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G5C-bttBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where are these rods made** A: I Don't Know for Sure, Didn't See Anything in The Description, but Would Say Probably Made in China like most Rods are, unless Ordering from Japan. Decent Rods Though, if you like a Stiffer Rod. **Q: Which size reel is recommended for the 7'3" MH rod ?** A: I use a 2500 size for bass and laketrout here but if there are bigger fish go bigger **Q: Will the 7'10 be a good carolina rig rod?** A: They seem to be good rods. Only got the 6.8 spinning rod but feel good light and pretty sensitive. **Q: What is the 7,1 mh casting rod good for?** A: It's more important to understand the weight of lures you'll be using, also taking into account the size/weight of potential fish you're fishing for. WIth this rod, i'm typically fishing for 2-4lb bass, on roughly 1/2oz-3/4oz jigs or lures. You can also throw lighter items like weightless wacky worms, but you need a bit more experiend on a baitcaster to avoid issues and backlashes. This is a great rod for the money! ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Best dropshot/jigging rods for the money on the market *by C***Y on May 18, 2024* The 7'3" medium/fast-action KastKing Spartacus II is a top-notch dropshot and jigging rod...

I tested it out in BWCA . When not walleye fishing I was throwing big musky spinners for northern and it and the kastking reel never missed a beat even with fish on. No monsters but decent ones. I already ordered another rod and two reels to upgrade some older gear. And I bought a pair of their polarized fishing glasses and love them also!! ## Frequently Bought Together - KastKing Spartacus II Fishing Rods - IM6 Graphite Blanks Casting & Spinning Rods, 2-Piece Rods with Extra Tip Section, PTS Power Transition System, KastFlex Technology, Rubber Cork Handle - KastKing Spartacus II Fishing Reel - New Spinning Reel ā€“ Sealed Carbon Fiber 22LBs Max Drag - 7+1 Stainless BB for Saltwater or Freshwater ā€“ Gladiator Inspired Design ā€“ Great Features - KastKing Spartacus II Baitcasting Fishing Reel, 6oz Ultralight Baitcaster Reel, Super Smooth with 17.6 LB Carbon Fiber Drag, 7.2:1 Gear Ratio, 39mm Palm Perfect Lower Profile Design --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/534623655-spartacus-ii-twin-tip-spinning-and-casting-fishing-rods-2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/534623655-spartacus-ii-twin-tip-spinning-and-casting-fishing-rods-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
