KastKing Rover Round Baitcasting Reel, Conventional Reel for Catfish, Salmon/Steelhead,Striper Bass and Inshore Saltwater Fishing Reel, Reinforced Metal Body,Black

Impressive 80 size reel ready for the big water! Out of the box it looks and feels good in the hand. Definitely seems like a nice piece of gear. I will be using a fiblink rod and 30 lb test line. Definitely holds a good amount of heavy line for the river catfish. I’m new to this style reel but it definitely seems smooth and easy to use.

This a smooth reel with a good line capacity. I was able to put on 220 yds of 20lb mono. Love the color. would like the retrieve, speed to be a little quicker. It spooled up very easy and even. The only reason for the 4 stars is the clicker is quiet. other than that, it functions well. Was surprise how little of a turn it would lock back after free spool.

Good for the price

Using it for catfishing, good so far. Running 30lb mono

Max 18 lb drag system. LOL! I’m sorry but that is not possible with this reel. Not without using channel locks on your drag star. This reel as it’s set up from the factory is about max 6 lbs of drag. If you take it apart and clean all the excess oil off the drag washers you can get about 9 lbs, 11 lbs if you really get on the star and tighten it as tight as you can. Just saying. 18 lbs of drag is not true. Other than that the reel is just ok. For a little bit more you can a much better reel from another company. I would suggest that. Just get something better.
