  • ... Rover 60R Reel Review The reel arrived in a nice box and a nice cloth bag for storage
Color: A: Right-Rover60
KastKing Rover 60R Reel Review The reel arrived in a nice box and a nice cloth bag for storage. Inside the box was a schematic and parts list. This is very good as parts wear out and often need replacement. The schematic was small but readable. The reel was larger and heavier than I expected but very sturdy. Size wise it is larger than an Abu Garcia Ambassador 6500 but not as large or heavy as a 7000. The line spool is solid and a nice gold color. It is wider and of larger diameter than the Abu 6500. I was thinking it would hold more line but I was wrong. The spool release button is larger and over hangs more on the KastKing. Attempting to fill the spool all the way up to its max results in the line hitting the spool release button. Both reels hold about 240 to 250 yards of 15lb Berkley Big Game Monofilament Line. I noticed that the level wind assembly was all metal and appeared durable. This compares to both the Abu 6500 C4 approx. $135 and The Abu 7000 approx. $149. Both run smoothly and track well although the Abu Garcia Reels lay the line a little more evenly across the spool. Comparing the level wind to a Abu Garcia 6500-S approx. $60 the Abu also lays down the line smoother but it has a nylon drive tooth that will not wear as well as the $52 KastKing 60. Then I decided to get down to business and get inside the reels. The good news is most of the drive gears and bearings are metal and strong on the KastKing Rover 60 and the Abu 6500 C4. I noticed the spindle size on the C4 to a little thicker but it appeared only a mm or so. I did not take the time to micrometer them. Comparing it to the Abu 6500-S there was more metal and the construction was much better. Comparing the KastKing Rover 60 to the Abu 7000 is like comparing a Ford F150 to an F350 Super Duty. There is no real comparison. It will not stand up to a 150lb bull shark on the other end like the 7000 could (at max). However I would have no reservations taking on a 25lb redfish with this reel. A spin test of just the spool on the spindle outside the reel body revealed that all three reels: KastKing Rover 60, Abu Garcia 6500 C4 and the Abu 6500-S could be made to spin 40 to 60 sec and appeared equivalent in speed. I ran this test to see how pimp able they were to modifications like installing ceramic bearings, removing the level wind assembly, and adding a magnetic brake cast control. The three reels mentioned above are all equivalent here. (The Abu 7000 spins longer because the spool is significantly heavier) Still inside the reels all of the Abu Garcia Reels come with six set able centrifugal brakes as well as one or two spool tensions knobs. The KastKing has only two and they are on whether you like it or not. The Abu 6500 reels come with 4 of the brakes set to the on position at the factory. I changed this to two for my cast test later in the review. Getting back to cast control the KastKing has two spool tension knobs like the Abu 7000. This is an advantage as the star drag gets in the way of your fingers on the Abu Garcia with only one on the right side. The clicker assemblies on all three reels were similar with neither really out shining the other. All were adequate to leave the spool in free spool and let the sound alert you on a quiet night bait fishing. None was loud enough to do this on the beach with the waves coming in. I put the reels back together and filled them with 15lb Big Game Monofilament Line. I mounted them on a Diawa Acculite 9ft Salmon/Steelhead Medium Action Rod. Attaching a fish scale to a loop tied in the line I tightened the drag all the way down and did three pull tests of one foot. The Abu 6500 claim 15lbs of drag but he C4 only delivered 14.6. The 6500-S claimed 15 but only delivered 11.3. The KastKing Rover Claimed 13.5 and delivered 13.8. The Abu 7000 claims 20 but delivered 27.7. The Abu 6500 reels and the KastKing were then set to 5lbs and pulled through a 20ft walk away. The KastKing and the Abu 6500 C4 had less than 0.5lb variance during the walk. The Abu 6500-S failed this test on the third walk.(The line broke) All three were pull tested three times over 20ft. Now we get down to the casting part: Three cast were made with the Abu 6500 C4, the Abu 6500-S and the KastKing Rover 60 using a 1oz pyramid sinker with a one foot drop down from the rod tip. This was repeated with a 7ft drop down and a Brighton Surf Cast and finally with a full blown Tournament Type of Pendulum Cast. All three reels were within the margin of individual variance for a single reel. The one foot drop casts went 70 to 75 yards. The Brighton Casts went 85 to 95 yards The Pendulum Casts went 95 to 125 yards. You will note that as I went to the more difficult surf and tournament casts the variance widened. This is due to my own operator error as I am not a tournament caster and the angle of release is not as consistent between each individual cast with these tournament techniques. The Abu 6500 C4 was quieter on the cast and the KastKing Rover made more spool noise but both beat the Abu 6500-S here. My final conclusion is that the KastKing Rover 60 at $52 compares very favorable to the Abu 6500 C4 at $135 and is a real bargain. Don’t waist your money on the Abu 6500-S at $60 it’s a turkey. I plan on using his reel of spotted sea trout, redfish, flounder, and other near shore species. I am happy with it. ... show more

  • 5 Star Reel / 1 Star Delivery
Color: B: Left-Rover40
This is my second Rover and it’s a great reel. The reel came through ok in the Kastking box but it was delivered in a packing ENVELOPE so the box was trashed when it got here. I guess it speaks to the quality of Kastking products and their factory packaging, it also speaks to how sloppy it was shipped ... show more

Got this for my son and he loves it. He fishes for catfish. and it has done really well. I will most likely buy him another one for his birthday. He has caught a 45 pounder on it so far. He said it cast really smooth.

  • Not 6 bearings!
Color: A: Right-Rover40
Nice reel for the money. I have taken apart the reel and this is what I found. It does not have 6 shielded ball bearings as advertised. It has only 4 ball bearings that I can find. One on each side plate for the control knob. One on the pinion gear. And one non replaceable bearing on the worm shaft. One anti-reverse roller bearing is found on the crankshaft. Also the schematic does not match the reel. Some parts are missing on the schematic and other parts are shown on the schematic that are not on the reel itself. The actual spool assembly is entirely different than the schematic. The schematic shows 2 bearings that are not present. Maybe this is where the 6 total bearings came from? If so then Kastking needs to really change the schematic to match what a customer really has. The spool has a fixed shaft with fixed gear, not separate pieces with bearings as shown on the schematic. With all this said it is still a good value. Just be aware of the bearing quantities and the incorrect schematic. ... show more

  • Great price, but at what cost? Kastking make this right!
Color: B: Left-Rover50
I'm not here to bash this reel, just notes to consider. I received the Kastking Rover 50 LH retrieve and overall, it's a really nice reel and it comes packaged just as nicely for the price. The reel has a metal full body, and easy to take apart of maintenance. The bait feed clicker could be louder as line is pulled out, it's more of a lower click noise (some reviews agree). When you reel the handle with the bait feeder engaged, the "clicking" indicator when reeling it in is exactly the noise level and sound it should be which is audibly louder and higher pitched, but overall not a deal breaker. Also it's super nice to have a line leveler. Okay so here is where honestly my only true issue is with this reel- The clearance between the spool lip and the body of the reel is truly unacceptable, and I say this more so disappointed. I have 3 Kastking reels in my collection that do get used almost every outing, however this one will not be going out. It has been mentioned in other reviews that users are having line caught up in the spool/body and the only way that truly works to get the reel fixed is to take it apart and remove the line that gets lodged. This is NOT normal with other manufactures from low-pro bait cast reels, or traditional ones like this style, you just don't have interference issues like this with line getting caught on backlash or slack situations. Just to reference my images, when i received this reel, I couldn't help but notice that while i was spooling it up with 20lb fluorocarbon, the spool was a bit hard to spin, no matter the tension that I set it at, so I took the reel apart. Low and behold I found a bit of what I would consider somebody's mono line wrapped around one of the sides of the spool. So not only was I disappointed I received somebody's return, but its clear that whomever did so experienced the same issues that I'm enclosing. The last pic I circled the clearance between the spool and reel body to show just how easy it is to get line caught up. No matter the adjustment of the spool tension on either side, I could not successfully find a "sweet spot" to even be remotely satisfied with chance that this could happen again, and of course it did as of a week ago as I was casting out. I hope that this helps some while shopping for that big fish type set up. Overall, this may be a shot in the dark and a Hail Mary, but I hope that Kastking would make this right. I use my Kastking reels right next to my Shimano's, Lews and Abu's, I think for the money they are good work horses that have helped me boat some nice fish. ... show more
