    Default kastking reels


    Has anyone used/owned any of the Kastking reels out of China and can comment on them. I need to replace/upgrade some equipment before fall fishing season and have been looking at them on ebay. Seem to have a few good reviews and good prices, but don't know how much to believe. Would like to hear from any crappie.com members that have experience with them

    I use two of them, and so far they have been excellent. The drag is very smooth, and has a lot of drag power, not very important for crappie, but the reels have been outstanding thus far.

    The ones from china are fake kastking reels. Not saying the real ones arent made in china too, I dont know.. I just know the ones direct from china are fake, reels rods and line. Be sure to order from kastking website or kastking's ebay store.

    99.9% of crappie tackle is made in China.

    Would like to know what went wrong with your reel. Can't imagine even the cheapest spinning reel being inoperable after just four times being used!!!

    I have a KK Sharky III on my dock shooting rod. It is OK, but I haven't had it very long.
