KastKing Rover Round Baitcasting Reel, Conventional Reel for Catfish, Salmon/Steelhead,Striper Bass and Inshore Saltwater Fishing Reel, Reinforced Metal Body,Black

I bought this reel hoping for something more robust than others in its class and I am very happy with it. Right out of the box you can tell thought was put into its design and build. Very smooth retrieve plus easier than most drag setting. I usually get a double handle reel but have had no problem adjusting to this. All in all, worth every penny.

This is my first-round reel. I spooled it with 30lb braided line. I will be matching this reel up with a 7ft medium heavy rod for catfishing and some inshore fishing. The reel is smooth and that 30lb drag is amazing. The reel is all metal for salt or freshwater fishing. I really like the oversized handle for better power in reeling in that big fish. The price point is affordable and KastKing usually has a coupon for more money off. The reel comes in a nice box. There is a bag for keeping the reel clean and safe while storing. Inside the box are some KastKing stickers and a parts list. It cast really good. I tried it out in one our local ponds. Retrieve is really smooth. The reel is looks great in Black with a Gold label for the reel name. You can spool it up with up to 65lb Braided line.

Very heavy duty reel. Great value

Perfect for lead core line trolling Stripers , salmon etc. The 60 size is 13 ounce light weight for my uncle he preferred a left handle . It can spool up to 5 colors of Suffix 36lb lead core maybe more from 12-27 lb lead core line. I mostly target Stripers in 15-25 feet depth trolling along the banks at inland lakes New Hogan and Fore Bay Oneil reservoir this cast reel is excellent for it , although I haven’t use it just got it on 1/31/25 . I like it a lot getting a right handle 60r myself and highly recommend it 100% ! Update: 1st week of February 2025 . Caught 3 Stripers at Forbay Oneil reservoir. The Kastking Rover 60 size is excellent bait cast reel. It goes very well with 7 feet medium heavy rods it should last a lifetime got both in left and right handle great nice reel for under $60 !

Every professional fisherman knows the quality of Abu reels. So what there another reel with very similar quality. And it is 3 times cheaper. Metal body, rust proof. Aluminum and metal parts. Comfortable handle. Bearings steel. Lightweight. You can't go wrong for your saltwater or freshwater fishing. It will handle good bottom fish. Our area still cold. Will test on mybnext trip. Good job KastKing 👏
