Anybody ever run a kastking spinning reel?
I bought a couple used ones from a guy on Craigslist. I needed a couple more big reels to take surf fishing. I got them pretty cheap. For the price, I was well pleased. If I remember, I'll look at them this evening and give you more info.Anybody ever run a kastking spinning reel?
I have a few of those. IMO great reels.Thanks guys I just bought there speed demon elite spinning reel in rhe 2000 size. I haven't got to fish with it but it feels good in the driveway. I'll put it to the test next week. It also the 7.4:1 ratio.
I have fished with most any spinning reel made, Zebco cardinal 4 being my favorite of all.Much better options out there.
Perhaps I shouldn't have chimed in here as my only direct experience was with their casting reels. Both of which stopped performing after a year of very light use (my pond fishing set up).I have fished with most any spinning reel made, Zebco cardinal 4 being my favorite of all.
The Kastking spinning reels, I have nothing but the fast retrieve, are as good as any I have ever used, have great drags and for a couple years now, are holding up better than Daiwa, Shimano, Pflueger and Quantum (all of these 4 could not make it a spring without an issue when I am catching hybrids), I have been using some of the Kastking spinning reels for 3 springs now and not one issue with them.
The casting reels not so much.

I did have a friend get a spinning reel that wasn't smooth at all and he sent it back. Which models have you used?
Which reels do you have? I may try one out.The spinning reels have as good or better as any I have ever used. Best drags I have ever had and zero issues. Hoping they last for several years. All my spinning reels are 7.2:1 or 7.4:1.
