5 Drawbar
I ran across one a few weeks back. I have to say it is a very smooth reel! These Abu Sweden made models are solid! Smoother cast then anything I have used before. Last year I cheaped out and regretted it. Hope to catch some big fish this year! Definitely worth the price!

So far so good for a first time baitcaster user. Have had couple of nest when I forgot to put my thumb on the line but after adjusting brake at every sinker change and holding thumb on the line when casting and a few fishing trips everything has been good. Very solid reel but still waiting on catching that big flattie for the true test.

Can not wait to use this reel. it's probably the lightest reel I 've ever owned, tipping the scales at a mere 4. 8 ounces. The thought of how effortless it will be to cast and maneuver with such a lightweight construction has me itching to hit the lake or river.

5 jojo666
Purchased this reel for the upcoming fishing season, can not wait to go out and fishing.

5 Gatorrich
I have had this reel about a week, I am really happy with it. I love the color with just a little hint of purple on the metal. It ’s the perfect size to fit in your hand and light as a feather. After adjusting the reel the amb backlash system works great. It casts a mile and is as smooth as butter with the 11+1 bbs. The gear ratio is a nice for both worm and lure fishing. The drag is easy to adjust and works great. I have many reels of all kinds and makes and this is a home run. This will be my reel of choice from now on.

5 gbcampos
For context, I have been baitcasting for about two years now, but because I did n't know I would like it, I originally bought a cheap walmart reel. I traditionally liked spin casting. But with the weather getting warmer where I live, I decided it was time to upgrade.. enter Kastking! I love their products because they provide such great value( they are not always the cheapest, but for their price, I have never been disappointed with the quality). So, why this reel? with 11+1 BBS, this thing retrieves like a top. It is incredibly smooth. I am still somewhat new to understanding how gear ratio affects casting with different baits, but everything I have used casts extremely easily, and it has opened opportunities for me to try different baits. I am a big fan of the Texas rig, but I am moving into lighter baits, which this reel makes much easier. Now, every newer bait caster worries about nesting, but the dual braking system alleviated a lot of my concerns. It has made me much more confident about trying different cast methods. I also love that it is light and solid. My old reel weighed considerably more and felt more like a piece of garbage, this reel feels strong and like it should last a long time if I take care of it. It just feels premium in your hand. It was a great buy!

5 softballmaus

5 Johnny
Left hand wind is a must for me. I am right handed but never figured out why so many people choose to cast with their right hand and then switch hands so they can wind with their right hand. The size and weight are also just right as I mainly fish for striped bass and blue catfish with this reel perfect on a seven foot medium action rod and 15 lb. test mono. I caught a fish on my second cast and anticipate catching many more in the future.

5 Danieldg35
Love this reel. I 've had it in the past and it's a solid reel for the money.

Have been using my `` Made in Sweden '' Ambassadeur S. I. X. for something like 20 years, fishing freshwater for anything up to Lake Ontario Salmon to Saltwater Plugging for Bluefish, Striped Bass and Wahoo from boat off NJ coast. `` BEST '' fishing reel ever made! During all these years of catching fish up to 30 pounds, it has never let me down. Just got another Rod for largemouth Bass and beach fishing in the Gulf, so it needs a good reel. Just hope the made in China reels have the same superb workmanship and Longevity of my S. I. X.

5 Jon8956
This reel is a prime example of when engineering meets functionality. Its extremely lightweight, sleek and has excellent adjustments for precision casting. It also solves the problem of being able to throw light lures a long way so you can put your lures in the strike zone without getting too close and spooking the fish. The reel action and drag are both exceptionally smooth and the ergonomics are fantastic even for those with slightly larger hands. This reel will remain a favorite in my fishing arsenal for foreseeable future.

5 Mikee82087
This reel is so smooth and cast so good and is built great feels good and comfortable in hand the brakes work great and allow casting with no backlash in this is hands down the best reel I have ever owned don ’ t hesitate to buy it I highly recommend it!

5 KYC8
This is my first BFS baitcasting reel, and it lives up to the promises of being able to cast lighter baits further. It certainly works better once dialed in properly, but as a relative novice on casting reels I was able to get near optimal settings within a two attempts and was matching my casting distances compared to a spinning reel. The gear ratio makes for a faster retrieve, and the overall weight is very light when paired with an ultralight rod. I will still keep a spinning reel for when I want to drop a bait to a certain depth since that is easy to measure by counting turns on the reel, but for all other finesse applications I will most likely be using this reel in the future.

5 FlyingColoradoHawaiian
I 'm glad I chose this reel as my first Bait caster reel! Easy to learn and it casts tiny jigs during the early spring bite.

Got this a few weeks ago and only used it a couple of times but it sure beats all my old baitcasters I have! Drag and brake are easy to set and use. Retrieve ratio is perfect for my needs and it's pretty rugged. Kastking seems to be best bang for the buck compared to other brands.

The bearings seem to be great quality!

I 'm still working on my skills with baitcasting reels. This Megajaws is the other side of the coin compared with me other reels. It is compact, light and well finished. It help me a to work on the precision instead of worrying about getting bird nests.

5 JJOmazing
I just ordered this reel last week and wanted to provide a detailed review of my recent purchase. Just as another reviewer shared, it is advertised as black, but my reel was a vibrant red. I spooled it with a 10lb braid and cast it with soft plastics with a 1oz weight. I set the tension so the lure just barely dropped from the end of the rod, then set the drag to 5/10. There are micro- adjust settings between the typical settings, meaning 0. 5 increments are possible. Once casting, wow, this thing can really send the bait pretty far. I would estimate I was regularly getting 35- 40yard casts on a relatively lightweight lure. Plus I was able to drop it the lure exactly where I wanted it to go. The reel is pretty typical size in the hand when palming. I would say its not the biggest or smallest, but it was comfortable to use. There is another switch on the back of the reel that changes the reel function to allow for flipping and pitching. I 've never seen this before on a reel and typically just used my thumb on the spool. When this is activated, you press the button holding it during the flip and let- go when you want the line to stop advancing. It took a few tries to get used to, but is still very intuitive to use. If you forget to switch it back when going back to do a normal long cast, it can be a surprise. However, I think it is a nice feature. I was able to catch some bass as a local pond with it and the drag was very smooth. There are a lot of bearings on this reel, box says 11+1, and it feels like it. I have multiple bait- casters, including some other higher end models, and this MegaJaws Elite reel fits right along side the others.

I bought this reel at DSG in my area and I 'm not experienced with the baitcaster. Hundreds of casts later and still smiling. It really likes the 20 LB. 012 ''/. 030mm line and it likes to have a full spool. The removable side plate made clearing any backlash/birdsnesting a breeze. I only experienced backlash in the wind with the lighter lures. The more I learn about the higher quality reels the more I 'm impressed with the value of the Quantum Nitrous.

I ’ m very experienced with bait casters; I bought this one to have a budget combo and I have to say I was so so surprised that this 24 dollar reel casted flawlessly along with all my abus. Really recommend this reel for anyone getting their first bait caster or anyone who just wants an affordable reel.

Bought this reel about a month ago online. It's a great smooth reel but really does n't fit my hand well. I 'll probably buy in- store the next time do I can actually feel it.

These are nice reels. Not the lightest reel out there, but they are strong, smooth, and can cast forever.

I love it and I would like to know how many other have the same feelings about the product

5 C4708
Got this to use on a finesse setup. It pairs nicely and the mat black finish makes the reel appear far more expensive than it is. This has to be the best reel in this price bracket!

5 Jack0937
This rod is truly a bang for your buck. It has many great features, feels amazing in the hand and is very smooth. One of the best choices in this price range.

This is my 3rd baitcasting reel and still consider myself a beginner. It was incredibly easy to dial everything in! Casting it was smooth and the only backlashes I experienced was just due to inexperience. After I dialed everything in, I used my thumb to cast and did n't experience any backlash. Eventually, I was able to cast it without my thumb and did n't experience any backlash! It's an incredible reel and would highly recommend. Definitely beginner friendly as long as you understand the basics of dialing in. I threw a bunch of different lures and hardly had to adjust. Just a great experience overall. The price is a steal!

5 Dad fishing with his son
Had the high school state bass tournament last weekend and needed new baitcasters. I picked up two rods- one each of us( my son is 13). Long story short- the kids fished great and finished one position out from a 4 figure payday, while competing against almost 200 other highschoolers. Rods/reels worked great! We fished shorelines that had a weed edge 15' off shore and had to pull almost every bass through the weeds to get them in the boat. Everyone loves the colors. I like how well they fish.
