KastKingReKon Round Baitcasting Fishing Reel, Saltwater Inshore Surf Trolling Reel, Up to 30LBS Powerful Max Drag, Conventional Reel for Catfish, Musky, Bass, Durable Graphite Frame for Saltwater

I own 10 Kastking reels now. This one I bought 2 for snapper fishing. I love the handle instead of a T shape the round shape fits in those palm nicely and when cranking had it is great. The drag works well. I reeled in 100 snapper so far and it has done great. The biggest was a 6’ blacktop, I locked the drag down and 20 minutes later the shark was at the side of the boat, I have 50 pound big game spooled on it. I love Kastking reels, they are tough and work great. I have others for 6 years now with zwero issues and I fish a lot. Great product, this is not the line counter one.

The KastKing ReKon Level Wind is my third KastKing reel. I’ve had great performance for a few years from my KastKing Royale Legend for bass fishing here in Florida lakes. It’s as rock solid and smooth casting today as it was on day one. I also have the KastKing Sharky Baitfeeder spinning rod that I use for saltwater fishing in the Gulf, and it also has performed flawlessly. The ReKon Level Wind is replacing my trusty Penn 309 Level Wind which has become less trusty the last two years requiring new parts to keep it functioning, and it’s broken down again. With the cost of more parts being high, I could get a new reel for less, so it was time to retire it. I wanted a newer technology, solid reel for trolling and pier fishing, that holds the drag where I set it. I decided on the KastKing ReKon Level Wind, size 20, because of my great experience with the brand, their explanation of the gearing/drag technology, and other buyer’s positive reviews. Right out of the box you feel it’s a solid, hefty reel, smooth winding, with beefy controls, and an aluminum handle. This has nothing to do with fishing, but I also like the look of the black and red, just like my Sharky reel. I used mono on the Penn but I’ve ordered braid to try on the new ReKon. KastKing offers high quality and many features at a very reasonable (low!) price. I’m expecting the ReKon to be my third outstanding KastKing reel, so I definitely recommend KastKing, and think you will also like the ReKon Level Wind. Another 5-star customer here. I’ll write more in a few months after I’ve used this beauty.

Works good. Looks cool. Caught multiple decent cats with this with no issues.I'd reccomend it

I’ve been looking for a lighter weight reel with a line counter and bait clicker. Most of the common brands don’t offer the clicker or line counter in the smaller size reels, KastKing offers it all the way down to the 10 size reel. I tried it out on the lake today and everything worked perfectly.The bait clicker gives a nice loud click but still pulls smoothly. For my purposes it keeps some light tension on the line while I’m dropping my canon ball and setting my lines on my downrigger. The line counter also worked great to set my distances from the boat.Easily matches the quality of my other Penn midrange and Okuma reels while costing a lot less. Great value!

This is a really nice reel and the price is right. I liked the first one so much I ordered a second one. It is well-made and a quality product. I have two spooled with 80 lb braid for shark fishing and they work great for this. The drag works well and can handle a big shark. I highly recommend them.

After having this sit in my house for a week, I was finally able to use this reel and I am very satisfied with the reel. The line counter works as it should, it's smooth on the cast and retrieve, and it feels like it is built for durability. KastKing has done it once again with making another great product!

The reel is great except for one major flaw. The rubber ball on the crank handle fell off while I was reeling in a blackfin tuna. I had to reel it with the metal shaft the rest of the 14 hours of fishing. I have blisters because of it.

This reel seems to be sturdy. Operates smoothly. Was easy to fill with line. The counter worked well. Plan on using it to troll for trout and salmon in the Sierra Nevada’s this summer. Let you know how that goes.

very well made
