Maybe NFGFC will get a couple of these reels as giveaways

We could do a $5 wildcard draw. $5 a card, 15 cards sold. $50 of it will buy the reel, $25 will go towards a gift card to Jim's Reel Repair since you'll probably need it.


I'm just trolling at this point.

Looking forward to the caged oyster bar grudge match !!!

I'm not asking anyone to try one of these Kastkings ....just stating what I'm discovering as I try out the one I bought...
I had only chunked it in one of the pastures to determine if it had the distance my Stradics had.. it did and more... today I tried it out in the catfish pond with the same 1/4 oz swim bait attached.. I'm officially endorsing Kastking as of today. Caught 3 hybrid bass in the 4-5 lb category with it. The second one broke the rod in half.. (must have been a defect in the rod) The drag is extremely strong and smooth and as I already said, it casts further than my $175. Stradics. I may be switching afterall.

Well put BBG, GN you are hilarious . Juan, I know you, fished with you, and believe you 100%. You know what's up for sure. It's almost incomprehensible that they could make a decent reel that cheap. I saw they do have a few models. On up yo $80 I think. I hope they hold up for you. Keep us posted with an occasional update after 10-15 saltwater trips. And holler next time your down this way, I'd like to fish again sooner than later

I find it hard to believe too SG. At this point I actually think they priced these things too low. Makes people who have experience with popular and dependable reels very skeptical because of the cheap price. The jury is still out but this may be one of those rare times you actually get more than you pay for. I just ordered one of their baitcasters (Kastking Assassin). I'll post an opinion on that one too when it arrives and I'll certainly holler the next time I fish your way. You do the same if you're up this way.

The thought occurred to me.

No, not on prostaff. No free reels

I've paid for each and every Kastking reel with which I fish. I'm nothing less nothing more than a Kastking customer and user.

Review: New KastKing Sharky II Spinning Reel
This may be the best value spinning reel sold today.
Posted March 21, 2016 in Buyer's Guide, Fishing, Gear, Opinion by Bob McNally
I’ve been using a new KastKing “Sharky II 4000” spinning reel for several months, and I’m stunned at what a high-quality reel it is, particularly for the rock-bottom price of $43. Yes, for well under $50, this saltwater designed, high-end, waterproof spinning reel outperforms almost every reel I’ve tried in the same size and category in recent years.
Some of the best mid-size spinning reels in this class sell for well over $200, and almost all of them go for over $100.
For my money, I’d much rather have a pair of KastKing Sharky II 4000 reels than one of another make, and I’m particular about my tackle, especially for hard-fighting inshore saltwater fish.
Since this winter I’ve put the new Sharky II 4000 through its paces and have been extremely pleased. The reel has battled snook to 10 pounds, redfish to 15 pounds, countless seatrout to 5 pounds, and assorted flounder, bass, sheepshead, and stripers.
The Sharky II hasn’t failed in the least, with flawless drag and no “dead” spots in the retrieve or pick up, and the handle, spool, reel bail and cosmetics (classy black, red, silver and white) are as perfect today as during its first cast.
That says a lot for a reel that’s been knocked around more in my three months testing in saltwater than many anglers would put it through in a year or more.
The Sharky II 4000 weighs just over 11 ounces, has a 5.2:1 gear ratio, and holds 185 yards of 14-pound test monofilament.
My Sharky II is loaded with about 250 yards of 12-pound test braided line, and its 28.5-pound drag capability has been put to the test several times in muscling strong snook from dock pilings, and heavy redfish away from oyster shell cut offs.
Made by Eposidon (phone 855-830-7430; http://www.eposeidon.com) out of Garden Ciy, N.Y., the Sharky II 4000 rocks the light-tackle fishing world in a big way. It’s one of six Sharky II designs available. Other great tackle is sold by Eposidon, too, and more reviews on it and their use will be forthcoming.

You might as well give up Salty. Most are content with their current brands due to experience and not willing to try something new. You'll never convince the skeptics. Personally, I appreciate the heads up. I didn't expect much but I'm loving the reel.

Well guys here is some more news on the new Kastking reel that I ordered last week . The mail lady put the new reel by my door last Friday and someone stole it, It will be replaced for nothing by Amozon but im really wondering if her husband fishes since she has never left anything there before.

..."someone stole it..."? Sorry for your inconvenience and trouble. Ever had any other delivered goods stolen from your door?

Maybe "someone" recognized Kastking on the return address labeling and knew that what was in the box was worth its' value - if not more.

Now we know the rest of the story...You're one of those medical marijuana retailers and you've been liberally sampling your wares!


I'm sure Amazon will make it right Jim, but it might be an omen for things to come.
