I hope it's better than previous KastKing reels, the ones I got are very frustrating - I picked up 5, all have same 2 problems:
1-the gap between the spool and frame is too wide - poor tolerance control! It allows smaller line (mono/fluro less than 20#) and most all braid to slip between the spool and frame, it's a major stop fishing w/ that rod event, and put in locker for the rest of the day.
2-the brake is non-existent on cast control, it over-spools way too easy even w/ the brake adjusted to max, the only way to control is to tighten down on the spool friction, again poor tolerance control.
Just my findings, If anyone wants 5 KasstKings cheap, just saying!
@frugalangler This reel is leaps and bounds above my first one.
I'm still using my first one. I got used to the little quirks and never experienced the problems you had with the line getting caught. I
did find the brakes to be barely adequate, in light of it having 11 bearings. But this new model doesn't have the braking issues at all.
Also, that first one I bought cost only $36. In my opinion, because I didn't experience the problems that you did, it's been a very good reel for the price.
