Hard to beat... Handles like a baitcaster, no lag, momentum in the handle.
2nd reel! And I'll be buying a third. This handles like a baitcaster in the handle. It does not have lag or momentum in the handle like other spinning reels. It stop exactly where you want, everytime like a baitcaster. It makes using a spinning reel for many bass lures completely doable. I'm really not sure why some people hate on kastking so much....but this is a very very nice real for the price range. With anti reverse" which is useless" cough, braid ready, smooth reeling L&R hand,bfs capable because its ultra light weight... It's a tremendous reel. I have the 500 on a spin BFS trout rod setup and another 2000 on a bass setup. Love these reels

Great reel! Does not disappoint!
This is an amazing reel. I noticed the price and decided to give it a try. I went for the 3000 version.I loaded it with 15lb braid on a 6ft6in rod and took it out kayak fishing. After only a few casts I switched it for my go to rig, which is a Pflueger President on the same 6ft6in rod. The Pflueger casts a mile with 15lb braid, the KastKing was just so-so and just didn't cast as far as the Pflueger did using the same lure.I really wanted to like this reel so I decided to give it another go, but with 10lb braid to a 10lb flourocarbon leader on the same rod. What a huge difference- this thing casts soooooooo far, is super smooth, and is so quiet.It has become my main rig and has been fantastic. Even casting into the wind with a small rooster tail, this thing just flew, and with a slightly larger lure it went even further.The Pros:Wow, this reel looks really good and is super light.casts a mile, seems to love the 10lb braid.It is just so smooth.The cons:Although it didn't cast as far with the 15lb braid as my Pflueger did, it really wasn't that bad so I am going to say that I don't see any cons to this reel.The price: This was in a perfect price point and certainly didn't break the bank. I got it with a 20% off deal and you just can't beat that at all.Overall: This was such a good reel I decided to buy another one (the Spartacus II- you can read my review on that one as well) and I think I have become a KastKing fan so far. Now if the darn fish would just bite...

4000 is about the same as 2500
I bought the 1000 and the 4000. I like them both very much for the quality and thicker bail wire. Overall I really enjoy the way this reel feels. no slack in the bail. good drag. I would recommend this product with the following note about the 4000 size.The 1000 was suited perfectly for a light weight trout rod and I didn't think twice to order the 4000 for another light salt project rod. I was surprised to see that the 4000 came in about the same size as other 2500 series reels I already have and was trying to upgrade from. I still like this reel and will use it to replace my 2500. I still need a bigger reel for my project rod.

Lightweight, Smooth, and Strong for the Price
The KastKing Zephyr 1000 is lighter than most reels I’ve owned and runs silky smooth with its 7+1 bearings. The carbon drag handles bass and panfish with no hiccups, and the CNC spool lays braid evenly without wind knots. After weeks of use, it still feels tight and solid. Only minor gripe is the small knob, but overall it’s a fantastic ultralight reel for the money.

Smooth, durable, and reliable
I can’t exaggerate how smooth the 2000 size reel is with 15 pound braid. It deftly handled a 29” redfish in Cedar Key, FL with no issues. Unfortunately my rods and reels were stolen out of my boat so I purchased two more. First use tonight in the neighborhood pond and I hooked up with a largemouth and got to enjoy the smoothness of the reel again.

Highly quality and reliable!
Long overdue review. Had this reel for over a year and it has been the best purchase of my life. Literally taken it everywhere and it has handled amazing. The reel for sure punches above its weight class, from big bass in Texas, to trout in Canada, to 30-40LB Amber Jacket in Florida. It’s compact for traveling but a beast on the water
