KastKing Centron & Centron Lite Spinning Reels, Size 500 is Perfect for Ice Fishing, Up to 17.5 Max Drag, 5.2:1 Gear Ratio, Ultra Smooth Powerful, CNC Aluminum Spool, 9+1 BB Light Weight

My new KastKing fishing reel has completely exceeded my expectations. The drag is super smooth, the retrieval feels effortless, and the overall build quality is impressive for the price. It handles bigger fish with no problem and performs just as well as reels that cost twice as much. Lightweight, durable, and comfortable to use all day—this reel has quickly become my go-to setup. If you want performance and value in one package, KastKing is the way to go. Highly recommend!

For several years I've been watching KastKing grow and believe they started selling on e Bay long ago. Watching this company grow, however, I was uncertain of the quality compared to some of the more familiar manufacturers, for instance, Penn Reels which I will use as a comparison in my review. Immediately opening the box and holding the reel in my hand this was a winner. Pro: * The 5000 has some good weight and make sure you acquire the proper rod to offset and balance. This 5000 is a great snapper reel! * It has a nice pushbutton break on the knob allowing for appropriate storage. * Very smooth spinning action right out of the box. * Easy forward and reverse switch accessible on the front base of the reel. * The drag is also very stable and smooth, and not wobbly like some other poorly made reels. * Overall well constructed and likely why the few extra ounces in weight. * $30 is a steal compared to the more expensive brands and you are getting equal or better quality with this KastKing. Recommended Improvements: * The reel felt a little heavier compared to comparable Penn model, but again you get quality and a great price with this reel. * Improve the timing or closure of an open bail. I opened the bail and started to spin the handle expecting the bail to close easily. It was not easy and took a more force that I am accustomed to however it might just require some break-in time. Regardless if you are looking for a reliable and affordable inshore reel or off-shore you can't go wrong. I'm proud to add this 5000 and soon a 3000 KastKing to my collection.

The only review you need to read. This is for freshwater review. NOT FOR SALTWATER!!! These are amazing reels for the price. For anyone who is starting out or is avid fishermen. I been using these 4 to 5 times a week on the biggest lake in PNW. I fish Lake Washington. With 30 different types of fish. And different sizes and weight. With great success. I currently own 3 of these Piscifun Flame reels. On 3 different setups, from pan fish to large mouth and cat fish. My setups are all less then $60 including the line I put on the reel. I I get the smooth cast everytime. From my 5" to 7" pole. Using all size lures and just to a split shot and bober set up for some panfish. You wont be disappointed in this reel. This isn't your cheap plastic walmart reel or reel and combo, you get at walmart. This reel does compete with the Penn or even other high end reels. But for a more affordable price tag. I have mine for a year now. And still cast smooth like day one. I don't keep up with the oiling and other maintenance, becuase I wanted to see how long it will last with neglect, also less $30 I can buy a new one if needed to be. So far over a year of use. And still going strong. I will recommend this to any fresh water fisherman or fisherman. It's a great reel for the beginner or the advance. Would I use this for a bass competition, probably. Lol. So here my setup for pan fish and basic bass fishing. If you are new to fishing or just wanting a nice cheap freshwater setup. Panfish - Bluegill,sunfish, pumpkin seeds, perch, white or black crappie, etc. I use a shakespeare micro series rod. This is my 5" rod. Ultra light. Great to feel even the smallest bites. Around $20 on amazon. Bigger fish - Trout, Bass, Walleye, etc. Berkley Cherry Wood HD This is a full wood rod. Coming in around 6'6 and also a 7" rod. Medium/heavy. Now before you say why would you want a Medium/heavy for trout or even walleye. This has a tip of a light rod (meaning you can fill small bites), but the back bone of a heavy rod. I pulled 13lbs fish in on 8lbs test thanks to this rod. This is like the name says. Made of cherry wood, so the tip is easily breakable. But wont break from weight of bigger fish. It's great rod. I been using them for 15+ years now. And own multiple sizes. Around $20 on amazon. I use berkely invisible line on all my reels. Just personal choice.

Es un poco más grande de lo que esperaba, pero adecuado para lo que lo necesitaba que era pesca ultraligera. Buenas calidad en sus componentes.

この値段でこの性能は反則でしたが製造元の理念でした😆🎶 これからも釣り道具は優先してこちらのメーカーを購入していきます！

Se ve excelente el carrete

I had ordered a reel from one of the other lesser known brands on Amazon and found the reel to be grindy and not smooth. I did some research and came across this CastKing reel. Finally got a chance to use it this weekend and i couldn't be happier. Reels in smooth, the drag was nice, and the build feels sturdy. Unlike the other cheaper brands on amazon this one was mostly metal and not plastic. Over all im super happy with with this reel. It not only works good but it looks really good too

Smooth rotation
