Overview
KastKing builds this right hand baitcasting reel for finesse work, mixing Sycron, aluminum and brass in the body and gears. The gear ratio appears in the color field and braided line is listed.
The low weight and the listed gear ratio are the reasons to look at it for small lures and long days of casting. The listing leaves out line capacity, bearing count and the brake system.
Who it's for
Anglers working small baits for bass or trout with a light casting rod suit a reel of this weight. Left handed anglers need a left hand model, and heavy cover fishing needs a stronger reel.
Pros and cons
- Light for a baitcaster
- Gear ratio listed
- Mixed metal and composite build
- Braided line listed
- Right hand only
- Line capacity not listed
- Bearing count not listed
- Brake system not described
Performance notes
A light baitcaster casts small lures farther when the spool is lightweight and the brake is set to match the lure. Drag sets the pull a fish can take before the line slips. Braid gives sensitivity but needs careful thumbing to avoid backlash.
