So far I've only done some practice casting with it, but it is by far the best bait caster I've ever owned. For years bait casters have advertised no snarls or rat nests, but either you loosen the tension to much and it you get them anyway, or you tighten it up and crank the mag setting and you can cast about 20 feet. With this reel, I got very sloppy with the tension and set the mag to about 5. I can cast over 50 yards with a 1/4 ounce weight and 30 lb test braid. The only hint of a snarl is midway through the cast I started to see what looked like a little backlash forming, but the magnets seem to catch up and it went away before the lure landed. I was very impressed. The line rolls in smoothly. I'm not sure exactly how much of the 30 lb test line it fit, but it looks like I'm getting close to the end of the 150 yard spool, so I would say it is in excess of 120 yards anyway. I think this is a really good bang for your buck reel and it would be great for someone new to bait casting that doesn't want to break the bank and can still have an easy to cast reel with way less frustration.

I gave this reel a workout for a couple days before writing this review. I am also a Shimano Curado angler so that is my main reels to compare with this Kast King Mega Jawa Elite reel. For those who want a quick statement about it. Its very comparible to the shimano curado K line of reels at a lower price point. I dont notice any lack of quality to get the lower price. It is a more attractive reel than the Curado series. I love all the gold trim especially the milled handle with Gold on the chamfer. As far as performance it has 10 settings for braking. unlike the Shimano Curado where you have to remove the cover to adjust the brake by flipping one of four levers, the Mega Jaws Elite has a dial recessed on the side. The optimal setting for me was between 3-4. I am an experienced baitcast angler but would not describe myself as advanced or expert. That group can probably set it lower. I got great casting distance at that setting and no backlashes with just a slight amount of thumb pressure at the end of cast. You can dial it in to cast with no thumb pressure but you will sacrifice some distance. That makes this a great reel for both beginners and advanced anglers. This reel is also about an ounce lighter than the shimano curado. The reel is smooth but I would give the edge to Shimano on that one. This might be due to the guide on the megajaws is longer than the shimanos which you can feel a little more friction as the braid moves through. probably would not notice with Mono or flouro. I did spool it with 50lb braid and did some pitching and flipping with a Jig. This reel has a flip switch where the thumb bar disengages as soon as you release pressure on it instead of cranking the reel handle. It takes getting used to as it changes how I have been programmed for flipping baits. I am not a fan of it but with some practice I am sure it works great. Like most bait casters the spool tensioner needs to be adjusted depending on the weight of the bait to avoid backlashing. Overall this is an excellent reel at its price point and to me it was simple to adjust and use.

I have two main problems with this reel, otherwise I love it. 1) Casting, 2) Max Drag First the good: It feels great in the hands. Everything is smooth, smooth, smooth. It feels super light but SOLID. The features are well designed and well machined. Everything clicks beautifully, and feels like a marvel of modern technology, (which for the price is deeply satisfying). I don't have any worry about something breaking, or falling apart while I am fighting a fish. It feels like a great "thing," and it is. It's a really cool new thing. Now see, I bought this reel to replace a 20+ year old reel, also a small baitcaster. My old baitcaster casted like a champ. It had no magnetic brakes, and bushings instead of bearings. Sounds crude! But the thing is, it casted a country mile without effort at all--give it a little thumb at the end as your bait hits the water. That's it. And it was a workhorse for small and medium fish. I measured the drag to be around 9lb, and that was enough to pull in most fish. I had to replace it because a knob fell off and I can't find a replacement. Sad. So the KastKing MegaJaws claims to be totally awesome by the data found online, including here on Amazon. First off, the gear ratio is, in fact, very quick retrieve. That part is true, and is pretty cool. You can pull lures fast. Nice. That's something I couldn't do with the old baitcaster this replaced. Old one was slow on the retrieve (not as good for artificials). The KastKing MegaJaws has faster retrieve, which makes it more versatile for artificials, and overall more versatile for the inshore saltwater fisherman. Where the comparison goes downhill for me, however, is with 1) casting, and 2) max drag claims. 1). Casting: this reel doesn't cast all that great for something made by a company called "KastKing." I am normally casting old conventional reels, including big brass reels like the 4/0 Senator, and Long Beach, and distance casting with Squidders and vintage Abu Garcias. I am good at casting baitcasters in general. I enjoy casting. I modify vintage reels with magnetic brakes for fun because I love surf casting. But the KastKing MegaJaws only casts nice consistently with magnetic brakes set at 8.5, which is almost the max amount of mag brake. And with that brake force, the only way to throw a bait (or lure) more than 40 feet is to have it weigh AT LEAST 2 oz, or better in the 4 oz range. Otherwise you can throw as hard as you can and have it go nowhere. This is because it is so light, and the spool is so small, and it will backlash/birds nest on you easily. If you are going to throw a lure under 1 oz, don't plan on casting it far. It works nice if you are flipping under docks or mangroves nearby, but forget surf casting a lure. Waste of time. You need more mass in order to get a bait out there far on this reel, and it will never be a champion of casting. But this is a design limitation of small, compact baitcasters in general (yet my 20+ year old baitcaster didn't have this problem). I just wish it had more magnetic braking power and a design that was even easier to cast and dial settings in on. 2). Max Drag claims: Upon cursory inspection, the drag feels pretty strong, and by visual inspection, the drag washers are, in fact, nice big carbontex drag washers. Cool. So I go fish a few times. Caught a 40" snook, and took a few minutes to work it in. It made some powerful runs. This little lightweight reel made it quite fun. It worked out, I landed it. Then I caught a 40 lb cownose stingray, and could not stop it at all. It kept running, running, running, and even after 15 minutes it showed no signs of slowing down. I just could not get it in. I thought that was strange because with my old baitcaster I could land big stingrays without much fuss. And not only that, this reel is so small my hands were cramped up after the stingray (also never a problem with my old baitcaster on the same rod). So after I got home I measured the drag. Clicking the star drag all the way down to a point that is uncomfortable (I would never crank it down so tight while fighting a fish), the most drag I could squeeze out of this reel was 8 lb, and I thought I was going to break the star drag getting it that tight. The drag is not very strong at all, but actually a bit WEAK. When KastKing gives a rating of "up to 17.64 lb of drag" they are beyond exaggerating, they are lying. Reporting that kind of precision is awfully misleading, and in the real world it doesn't come close to the claims... I love KastKing products. I have many. But it's pretty hard to ignore this particular detail because the max drag was a deciding factor to me. Having a high max drag is important to me, and this product let me down in that regard. I can do things with this reel that I could not do with my old baitcaster, and overall, this is a great reel. But in the areas of distance casting and stopping power (max drag), it feels slightly lacking. It should have lots of stopping power, but not quite...

I bought two of these and use them as my main reels. I have one on a 7’ MHF spooled with 30lb braid to 12 flouro leader and another on a 7’3” H spooled with straight 17lb flouro. The 7’ is my do everything grab and go rod and through probably 1000s of casts on it now it still runs great. I put a few drops of oil in there from time to time and keep it wiped down and it just keeps going. If it ever breaks I’ll update my review. The 7’3” I use for frogs and bigger glide baits and stuff and this reel works ok for it but it’s probably not the best for the heavier lures. While they don’t seem to be as sturdy as my expensive Lews and stuff they are certainly very good for what they cost. I use the LH versions as I find casting with one hand then transferring it to the other is just silly.

Just wow! I bought this reel because I really liked the theory behind the AMB braking System and living in South Florida you can throw every kind of bait in any size. As such, I wanted to see how well this thing would do casting a puny 6” worm with a 1/16 oz weight, or a 10” with a ¼ oz weight, a ⅛ oz swim jig, or a ½ oz football juggling with a trailer, some top water jerk baits, to suspending one’s in both the 9 & 11 sizes, my tried and proven strike king square bills and deep divers, and swim baits. This MegaJaws Elite handled them all WITH EASE!!! All I did was set my external brake to 0 (zero), tighten the spool tension nob, open the spool and turned out the tension nob until my lure hit the floor and gave me a 1 extra rotation and then I turned the external brake up to 5 and casted it out. It handled every single lure almost identical and never once was it out of control. I over spooled maybe 2-3 extra turns a couple of times in the smaller lures, but I purposely didn’t apply any thumb after seeing a few review vids on YouTube. I saw they didn’t know how to properly adjust a baitcaster and did it the way The Reel Test does it, which is completely incorrect. I casted most of the lures on my B-Lat sick stick which is a superb 7’2” MH casting Rod and every single bait would zip way out across the lake with the lighter ones casting around 30 yards (semi into the wind) on my 40lb 8-strand braid, and the larger lures flew an impressive distance around 45-50 yards on average. The most impressive was casting a football jig on my 7’9” Heavy Ark jigging rod (I call it my broomstick). Initially I was leaving about 18” of line on my casts but one time I accidentally lifted my thumb momentarily and let out a bit more line on my back swing and it flew considerably farther, so I reeled it in and let out about 3” of line and lightly swung my jig back and whipped it forward and it took off!!! I’d guesstimated it was about 55 yards on average, maybe a bit more! The flipping switch is awesome too! I have a Quantum PT Accurist S3 that has that feature and I absolutely love it for flipping into heavy stuff. This reel’s flipping feature is no different. I did cause a bit of an over spool once trying to flip and almost skipping my jig at a fish I saw in front of me, but totally my fault because I was so excited I released pressure on the spool prematurely. I cleared the spool and pitched it again and from then on it was pure money! I must have casted about 200 times today and not once did this reel miss! And it did it all while being completely quiet and no rattling or vibration no matter how hard I cast. Suuuuper smooooth, compact and light and palms really well. I have large hands and it was comfy all day long. I am completely impressed! I bought the Dark Galaxy model (looks a bit green in direct sunlight like some Shimano reels!) because of its deep spool because I do a lot of bank fishing and I need to fling it and I can’t be spooling myself out. I’m now thinking about getting the new purple one for tossing jigs and larger weighted senkos and creature baits through all the hydrilla in the lakes down here, but IDK because I really like deep spools. I highly recommend this reel for novice, more advanced and pro level anglers alike. I am really impressed with this thing! I’ll try to post some pictures of it in sunlight to show the cool greenish hue it casts. (No pun intended lol)

This reels is an excellent purchase. I am a huge fan of kast king anyway. I have 4 kast king bait cast reels and kast king spinning reels and use em all on an almost daily basis. About this reel tho, it not only looks great but once I tuned it in, it casts incredibly and was easy enough to tune in. I am very satisfied with this reel and will probly purchase another. Oh, also all my rods are also kast king. Kast king keep up the good work and quality while I save money buying your products which are just as good as the big name brand fishing gear.

I was sure this reel was going to be my go to from here on in but….sadly, after one week, I have to order a replacement. Two fish and one snag later, I noticed the reel started to feel spongy and the line was loading to one side while reeling in; even with my jig out of the water it felt off. I got home and took the reel off the rod and closely inspected it. I noticed that the reel would get stuck when the line guide was at either end of travel. Looked at it a bit closer and noticed that the support pins were bent! I managed to push the top pin back down a bit to a semi straight position but the line still loads to one side. I think these pins are made of aluminum and I have a feeling the replacement may be the same. We'll see what happens with the new one. If I have the same issue, it will be returned for a refund and not replaced. Kind of expected better from Kastking…☹️ UPDATE: I received the new reel, spooled it, mounted it, and off to fishing I went. Had an overrun after setting up the reel to skip under a small dock I usually practice on. Same thing happened. The top line guide pin got bent. I was sure that this reel would replace all my other reels! Sadly, no. I returned the reel for a refund and won't be buying another. Don't get me wrong, this is a very good reel! The braking system is very good and it casts great when set up correctly. Just don't get any sort of a backlash because the line guide pins will bend! I hope Kastking fixes this. Like I said, it is a good reel, I just don't want to be straightening pins every time I get a backlash. I do allot of skipping so backlashes are a thing with any baitcaster, no matter what price point.
