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.

5 AstroFishes
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 fish4cats
Great product for the money. No issues with jamming so far. Casts well and the clicker is great. If money is no object than get yourself a catfish series Abu, if money is tight this reel will work well if you are familiar with using baitcasting reels. If you 're going for bigger cats you might consider changing the line.

4 CatfishHunter
Bought this reel for a black Friday event in 2018 and have used this reel on an ugly stick catfish rod and I 'm very impressed with it. The only things I had to do is break the reel down and re- oil it and change the line on the reel but I always re- oil my reels before using for the 1st time. I highly recommend this reel for the price. I restrung this reel with 65 lb braid and it's held up great but always back it with good mono line.

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.

This KastKing BFS reel is unbelievably lightweight and feels incredibly luxurious. The finish looks amazing and the gears feel smooth. It can cast small baits into the distance. The carbon fiber handles and grips do run small but overall great reel.

I do n't know why anyone would give this reel a bad review other then the fact that they do n't know how to use a bait caster. I used the 15# line that came with it and a 3/4 ounce sinker, it cast great.

I bought the 3000 size reel to do some bass fishing and inshore and it's been performing great. The other day I hooked into a massive red in a pond and it ran straight for open water, taking out about 120 yds of line. I was worried about being spooled, but thankfully this drag stack had my back and I was able to fine tune it in order to put just enough pressure to control the fish and not break off.

[ No way to adjust the tension on the spool so I was surprised and skeptical. I own three other mid priced reels and this is now my favorite! Go figure. Very light weight and easy to strip. Only a few moving parts. The “ clicker ” or ratchet that keeps the spool from unloading seems just right. Won ’ t rust.

5 KB Advebturer
[ This reel is awesome. I bought it for backpacking because it ’s so light and let me tell you, I have no regrets. I actually have the same reel in another color but needed another for a different line. It ’s lightweight and does not have an option to change the drag. But for the back country, that ’s no problem. The clicker is LOUD, like a villain maniacally laughing every time you pull some line out( actually pretty cool when a fish runs). Overall, this reel is perfect for my backpacking purposes or for the rod I keep in my car for that tempting stream on the way home.

5 Pescador
I bought this reel about 2 months ago and so far, it's done great! I bought this reel for saltwater use and it has held up fine. I 've caught everything from edge of slot puppy drum off the beach to small specks and striper in the sound. I can happily report that thus far, I have had no problems with the unsealed drag. As far as the drag's performance, it could n't work better. the drag knob is easy to adjust while playing a fish and has a nice clicky- ness to it so you do n't over adjust it. I did get a little sand in there while fishing from the beach, but after removing the spool and giving it a thorough rinse it works like new. My few complaints are rather petty. The first being that the finish seems to come off fairly easily. while having it in the canoe with me it was sliding around and the matte black finish rubbed off a bit around the rim. however, it's hardly noticeable and only cosmetic. Secondly, the rubbery handle occasionally catches the fly line when I 'm casting. It juts out a bit more than I care for.
