  • Haven't had a chance to fish with it yet
Color: B: Sea Spray-Left-6.5:1
Full disclosure, I haven't fished with this yet because it just came a few days ago. It was very securely packed and looks great. It sure feels smooth and light enough to use all day without wearing you out. I'm reserving the 5th star until I get a chance to use it a few times and see how it holds up because I've been fooled a couple of times by reels that felt great out of the box and turned into hot garbage within minutes of being near water. This has never been an issue with any KastKing reels I've used so far. I'm looking forward to using this and I'll update my review if there's any issues at all. ... show more

Color: C: Dark Star-Left-7.2:1
I love it when you get the perfect settings, you can cast it extremely far, it is really fun to cast. Also the brakes in the drag clicks. I love this real so much, my favorite baitcaster of all time.🤩

  • Outstanding
Color: A: Glacier White-Right-6.5:1
Haven’t spoiled it yet but just feeling in my hand it feels great. This is my first kingkast reel hope it turns out well. Update: Finally got around to using the Crixus reel. I paired it with a Berkley Amp 7’0” medium heavy rod and Stren hi-Fi gold 14lb mono line. Use it 2 different days in a small creek some and a good side river some. Once I got the breaking system set it’s performance was outstanding. This set up has excellent control. I would pick it 9/10 times over my Aba Garcia set up. Especially for flipping and short throws. It doesn’t have the distinct my Aba Garcia has but it definitely is more efficient. I’ll definitely be buying another kingkast in the future. ... show more

  • Nice reel, but my rubber knobs separated in less than a year
Color: A: Glacier White-Right-6.5:1
For the money, nice action and easy to use reel. I've had a little over a year. But as you can see the knobs separated at the seams. Should have spent the $4 for the two year extra warranty. Lesson learned. I tried to figure out how to submit for a warranty claim or replacement part, but Amazon seems to make that aspect a little difficult. ... show more

  • 1st baitcaster. will update after use
Color: B: Sea Spray-Right-6.5:1
For my spinning rods, I really like Kastking products. Sturdy, smooth, reliable and affordable. Not cheap. I believe they're pushing affordable innovation when it comes to fishing products. I kind of look at them like Cold Steel and their reputation in the knife industry. I decided on the Crixus to be my first baitcasting reel due to Kastking's reputation and reviews on Amazon. Not to mention just from use of their spinning rod products. I just received it today and am waiting on my baitcasting rod to get here. I'm pairing it with a Lew's TP1 speed stick. I don't know if that's overkill for a first baitcasting rod and reel, but i figure I could do worse. I'll update with my progression. So far just on looks alone, it looks great. It feels incredibly comfortable in my hands and is ergonically pleasant. Out of the reels ive owned it is super light. Just on research alone everything on the reel is easy to identify and easy to operate. I think once im going to have fun using this reel. Thanks Kastking for the great products. UPDATE: Living in San Diego i was able to finally take it out. Our harbors and lakes have been closed due to the pandemic. I paired it with a 7ft Lews crankbait tournament speed stick. Put on some 20lb braid and decided to use some topwater lures out here at Harbor Island. It took me a little bit to get the adjustments right. Im not sure if its due to my inexperience, but ive also read something similiar on other peoples comments, that once ive finally set the magnetic brakes (ive seem to have found a sweet spot on 7), its so high that it prevents you from casting far. Either than that, it looks great, reels great and im having fun with it. Just wish i could cast a mile. I settled on buying the dark star to see if that makes a difference. Have a good one guys. Enjoy! ... show more
