Piscifun Alijoz Baitcaster Fishing Reel, 300 Size Aluminum Frame Baitcasting Reel, 33Lbs Max Drag, Freshwater & Saltwater Low Profile Casting Reel for Musky, Available in 6.6:1/8.1:1 Gear Ratio

So far so good!!! While I’m still concerned the brass gear may not stand up to cats over time, I’m very happy with the overall function and smoothness of these reels…

I love buying gear that people typically don't have. I usually look on japan, korea, and thailand tackle websites for stuff and for some reason the Kastking name was popping up on their websites. Decided to pick up a 300 size baitcast reel with a power handle for slow pitch jigging. Of course I had to modify it to my liking (new longer handle and new power knob). So far I've only taken it out once but this thing is awesome. We dropped down to 900-1200ft depths for rockfish. This reel holds plenty of line (if you buy the right kind), and the drag was smooth. 6.6 gear ratio is perfect for working the lures correctly while also reeling in the fish at a steady speed. FYI, the "right kind" of line that i used was the daiwa saltiga SJ in pe 1.5 (26#). you wont easily find a thinner line with a good price. I was in Japan for work recently and their equivalent sized line is 3-4x the price.

aluminum body,wide spool,gotta get some line on it to try casting.Very well built,easily worth the money,smoother than my team diawa,could possibly be my new favorite reel.

I was looking for a slightly smaller musky reel and this one seems to fit perfect. The reel is good looking and smooth. Time will tell how well it holds up to 10,000 casts.

Bought two last year to use on a fishing trip. Caught Muskie, Pike and Bowfin using it to throw bucktail spinners. I liked it so much for heavier rods and bigger bait that I bought 2 more. Casts great and is smooth. Can’t beat it for the price, it’s more than half the price of Shimano, Daiwa or Okuma. If you’re thinking about it, just do it.
