first impression. sitting in my living room, these reels are everything I had hoped they would be. I bought the 40 size to use on a couple trolling set-ups for landlocked salmon and lake trout in northern New England. They are smooth and appear to be well built. The end caps are sturdy and solid, not the tin foil caps I've seen on other low cost reels. the drags seem smooth and they appear to have plenty of capacity for small reels. I will try to remember to post a further review after I've used them a little. Full disclosure, I've been using KastKing reels for several years and love their products.

Can’t beat this budget reel! I paired it with the Fiblink Moonsniper 9’ and it’s a great combo. I’m still learning to use baitcasters but I really enjoy using this one. Once you understand how to set up your kastking rover, it’s actually fairly easy to use! I have used this reel now for about a year.. I didn’t take the best care of it, by rinsing the salt water off every time I used it. Finally after all that time I decided to clean it and grease it and to my surprise there was little to no corrosion from the saltwater! The quality and durability, the look and feel of the reel is all great! The drag system works for me.. I see some reviews where they’re trash talking the drag system but it hasn’t failed me yet. Sometimes I even use my thumb to help slow the line being pulled out, instead of adjusting the drag mid fight.. The bait clicker is easy to use and I love it. The best thing about this reel? It’s affordable!!!!! It’s great quality for anyone! No matter if you’re on a budget or not! You will enjoy this reel, and if it just so happens it doesn’t work the first time, try it again! Just make adjustments as you go! If the first one you buy is defective (it happens sometimes with any product) in any way, return it for replacement.. I have so much fun using the rover40L! Update for the Rover 60: the reel handle knobs SUCK!!! Mid fight the foam grips popped off!! Not sure if it was because of the slight rain, or that I was pulling in a crab.. either way change the double knob to a power knob Asap!! I believe you can buy one already with it (70, 80, 90 sizes come with it I believe, if you select that option). The reel itself did a great job, just not the double handle.

I bought this back 2-3 years ago. Nice reel, maybe a little smaller than expected as far as line cap goes but that really has not been a problem. Drag is nice and smooth. Casts very well, backlashes are most often my fault. Feels strong and gives confidence. I love the clicker! It can easily be heard and resulted in some catches that might not have happened. I caught a nice 9 lb Channel with it today, so the good experience made me want to write a review.

What an outstanding reel! I ordered from Amazon after reading many reviews and some YouTube vids. It arrived in just three days with normal shipping. Packaging good with no extra junk. It did come with a nice cloth bag to store the reel in when not in use. Now i have other similar reels by abu, penn etc. and was looking for something to pair with my new Santiam 11ft surf rod as my other reels were a bit large in diameter for the rod. This reel (KastKing Rover 5/0) is just about the perfect size reel for this rod. I spooled it up with 40lb KastKing super braid. I don't have a line counter yet but it took most of a 327ft spool. I couldn't wait to try this reel out and went out back to my small pond to kinda get a feel for the reel. So after my first few casts i couldn't believe that this inexpensive but quality built reel could cast so effortlessly. It was a very smooth and quite cast and the retrieval is a great speed for this size reel. I used a 1 ounce weight only to try this thing out and was easily casting 200ft. I then tried it on an ugly stick tiger rod 7ft with the same weight and line. Again very impressed with its performance on this rod which i use for catfishing. I've never used a KastKing reel before but i like this one more than some of my 200$+ reels. I give it 5 stars and recommend this reel to anyone looking for a great conventional style reel! In fact i liked it so much that just two days after receiving it i ordered the KastKing Rover 6/0!

Just received the Rover 60 today. I'm blown away at the quality of this reel. I had to take it out and try it out. I had an old 7' glowstik and some cheap Mustad 20lb test laying around so I assembled it all together and tied on a 1.5 ounce sinker. Keep in mind this line was very stiff and has high memory so it's not what I intend to use but the reel handled fine it nonetheless. I plan on using it for catfishing and obviously the Abu Garcia C3 6500 has been the king in this realm. So I will compare the two even though this reel costs half what a C3 does on Amazon (both are sold at a great price on Amazon). Overall build quality is just as good. Lots of stainless steel parts on both. Casting and retrieving they are the same (smooth). The line guide does its job and lays line flat on both. The drag is a little smoother on the C3 6500 but the KastKing drag still operates very smooth. The KastKing at its price point, to be fair, should be compared to the cheap Chinese Abu 6500S models that actually cost about $15 more than the KastKing. But those two aren't really comparable because the KastKing Rover 60 beats the 6500S hands down in every way. I actually like the full thumb bar on the KastKing over the Abu's small thumb push button. The only thing I don't care for on the KastKing Rover is the grips on the retrieving handle are EVA foam. I personally would have preferred just a basic hard plastic but that can be fixed later if they wear out. Now tuning this reel seems complicated to those that are new to conventional reels but its actually very easy. Assuming you already have the reel mounted and spooled with line (hopefully of decent quality), this is all you have to do. 1. Rig the rod with whatever weight/lure you intend to cast. 2. Tighten the spool tensioner knob pretty tight (this is the silver knob on the same side as the retrieving handle). 3. Tighten down the brake knob somewhere around half way, maybe a little more tight than halfway. (This is the knob on the opposite side of the reel.) 4. Hold rod up at a 45 degree angle with your weight/lure hanging down about 12-15 inches from the rod tip. 5. Press thumb bar to release the line. The weight/lure should fall to the ground in a controlled manner and you shouldn't have any backlash or very little. If it has a lot of backlash tighten the brake knob more. Repeat this step till you get a controlled drop with little to no backlash.once you achieve this you are ready to cast. When casting press the thumb bar release and press your thumb against the spool to hold the line in place. When you cast just pull your thumb off the spool slightly. Just before the weight/lure hits the water apply pressure to the spool with your thumb again. If it backlashes tighten your brake a little more. Don't try to sling the lure/weight too aggressively. I was able to acveive 60 yard casts with a smooth throw. ***note*** a reviewer had claimed his reel wasn't working. When he tried to reel it the spool wouldn't turn. Mine did the same and scared me when I first received it. Tighten the star drag so.e and it should start retrieving/spinning the spool. Hope this helps. This is a great reel. Cat fisherman spread the word!

Bought a Rover 90 figuring to use it for musky fishing by throwing big heavy lures. The 90 is HUGE, meant more for ocean fishing. I held it in both hands with a hand on either side and my finger tips couldn’t touch. Definitely not for inland waters. I returned it and ordered a 50. The 50 is great. Loaded it with 80lb braid, mounted it on a 7’ medium action Ugly Stick and used a 1/2” combination wrench as a practice lure. It casts that wrench every bit of 150’. What I like is the line guide moves with the line on the cast. I paid over $300 for reels that weren’t as nice as this. I have 8 different makes of round bait casting reels and this is one of the best, and it costs the least. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Sorry, KastKing, I do hate doing this, but you're selling really deficient equipment and not being truthful about your description. For those of you who have never proven the saying "too good to be true" feel free to buy this and consider the saying proven. Despite the telltale signs that this is not a legitimate item (no instructions in box or on their website, phone # buried in the internet, about 4 youtube videos, etc.) I pulled the trigger and bought one of these earlier this year. I took it to Canada on a fishing trip last week, spooled with KastKing braided fishing line. Thanks to my perpetual state of paranoia, I also brought my much smaller AG Revo STX reel, just in case the KastKing failed. The KK Rover didn't fail to disappoint, regrettably. I wanted a $59 reel from an off-brand mfr to work as well as my other reel, but it didn't. It does look nice and gets a lot of attention, until the admirers saw it perform. Besides being noisy (yes, with clicker off), the reel kept locking up during casts. Not back lashing, but locking up due to poor line spooling during bait recovery. Regardless of the bait I was throwing (all lures between 3/4 oz to 3 oz), and multiple magnetic spool settings, this thing just failed on nearly every cast. It was so bad that at some point my fishing guide offered to work with it a while so that I can use his reel and get some decent casting in. You may argue that my 40LB KK braided line was too much for the reel to handle. Given the size of the reel, and the fact that there are no instructions available, I'd say this rebuttal is invalid. I really wanted this to work, but it didn't. I really want to give KastKing the benefit of the doubt, but I can't. I'm guessing they get more of these back in returns than remain sold, and most, if not all, of the returns are from anglers that cast more than jig and troll. This is not a casting reel folks. Heed my advice and don't buy this for casting, or bring a second name brand reel to fall back to when it fails.

This is an OK reel. Yes it is significantly cheaper than an abu. BUT, my abu also doesn't have play in the gears. I have had problems with the rover not wanting to keep the spool lock down unless the handle is in perfect position because of loose gears. It will also, occasionally on a hard cast, release the spool lock on its own. Potentially causing backlash and a "birds nest". And even more rarely it would disable itself just off a light bump while waiting for a catfish to hit. I have missed only a few cats to this as circle hooks will often set themselves under the tension. While it hasn't been a serious problem. it is frustrating. I also purchased an abu garcia catfish special around the same time and the differences between the two are *VERY* noticeable. However it is reliable under pressure. The rate that it brings in line is impressive, and it easily keeps the 6-8oz weights I use in the river for large live bait up off the bottom and out of the rocks on retrieve. The play in the gears is only noticeable when you aren't bringing something in. I caught many large catfish this year. From 8lb to 20lb channel cats and flatheads over 30lbs. The bait clicker is very loud, which is nice when you need to walk away for a moment. I mostly bought it for its drag discs. The zebco 888 it replaced just couldn't handle the big ones properly. If you want a decent reel to see if you enjoy catching very large catfish but are on a bit of a budget, I do recommend the kastking rover. If I get 2 decent years out of it before it falls apart, then it did ok. That being said, the abu replaced another abu that I got 15 great years of heavy use out of. But it was 2x the price of the rover.... Also these large reels are overkill if all you do is fish for 2-5lb channels. The rover40 with 15lb braid and a 10lb lead would be absolutely fine for that.
