I can understand people wanting affordable quality gear. I just can’t get away from shimano. Their products are top notch. And will last years.
I have Shimano, KastKing, Piscifun and Garcia Black Max casting reels. The real test of a reel is how well it stands up over thousands of casts/retrieves and fish caught that test the drag. ALL reels need occasional cleaning/maintenance if used in freshwater and cleaning/maintenance after EVERY TRIP to the salt! I've really not given enough time on my reels to determine big differences in performance. I'd wager the Shimano would outlast the cheapo reels over time, but I've been very happy with the cheapo reels' performance in hand. Casting distance, to me, is very low on my list of performance characteristics. All of these reels cast my lures far enough!
I have some shimano stuff and a lot Kastking stuff as well and I love both. The Speed Demon Pro rods are amazing. Also, for what your paying you get some cool options. Rods and reels are like tools. Sometimes it’s fun using higher end stuff, but your often suprised by “cheaper” options.
Bro, thanks sooo much. I’m wanting a KastKing, I’ve asked my IG friend & followers and they gave me a bunch of mixed emotions!! Im actually looking at the one you’re using haha!! Thanks bro I guess I’ll be buying the KastKing there’s nothing majorly wrong with it from what you’ve shown.. I have the Shimano as well, it’s a freakin work horse lol!! Thanks bro, keep em coming my man
Dude much appreciated just snagged a Kastking bait cast and rod off Amazon for prime day. Super excited!!!!!
I use a Kastking Royal Legend for wacky worm fishing. 20lb power pro braid, hook, worm and the RL does fine. I'm not really concerned about the distances of my casts only if does what I want it to do. Got 2 of the RL reels, both pretty good.
Shimano and Kastking are good reels. One you are paying for the name more than the other. People like to say stuff like you don't need 11 bearings or it is a gimmick but if their Shimano had it it would be a technological marvel all of the sudden. There is no doubt the profit margins on Shimanos and Daiwas are 3 to 4x higher than Kastking. You pay the extra money to the company for the name.
Somewhat agree, but when it comes to bearings, a cheap reel can have 10+, but are cheap bearings, a quality reel can have less bearings, but the bearings are high quality with other quality components which will function and last longer, obviously, it comes down to you get what you pay for, a friend of mine swears by KK, he's burned through 3 reels in 2 years,he got his money worth considering he fishes numerous times a week, but to turn around and replace them every couple of years obviously adds up!!!
@@benjihilliard1755 I upgraded all of my cheaper reels with spool hi speed bearings. I still feel like I came out ahead cost wise.
@davidstone3780 where can I buy those bearings and how to know which size to get?
You're crazy. With the shimano you're paying for quality. A reel thats going to last a LONG time unless its a rare occasion that it fails quickly. While the Kastking wont last as long unless its a rare occasion that it lasts a long time. I have 4 Kast king reels and 1 shimano 1 Daiwa. Saying you're only paying for a name with shimano is like using a 201 blackberry phone and saying you dont want to pay for the iphone 15 because you're just paying for the name.
I'm thinking of getting the Kastking. I've got one of their spinning reels and I really like it, but I just got a nice 7ft berkley rod and I'm planning on throwing this kastking bait caster on it. this was a good review good video. Thanks for putting it up
I have seven Kastking reels have not had any trouble with them at all.They are going on three years old.
Great vid my dude! I just bought a Kistler 7’ Medium Action casting rod, I’m going to put the Shimano SLX reel on it.
Colby Hester can't go wrong with a kisler and that slx is the best reel in the 100 buck range but the slx xt is the best reel in the slx line
Good choice!
NO DOUBT ON KASTKING CRIXUS.. by next week my orders arrive.. I''m excited already.. kastking crixus darkstar and kastking blackhawk II.. thnx for the honest reviews! more uploads!
i disagree with the negatives on the Kastking. I own a lot of their gear and I have never been disappointed with any of it. Most people would be better off having 2 completely different setups say for topwater vs jig/worm fishing at the same price as the one more expensive setup. Good video but you should justify better than “it might” be more prone to anything. That is not objective.
Appreciate that! Thank you for the feed back!
Even me im a kastking fan 100% they perform just like a high end Shimano etc....Shimano needs to get the speed demon pro that reel out performs any Shimano any day
It’s who is casting that controls the spool spin more fishing less back lash
Great video! People get intimidated by dudes with DCs and Metaniums, glad to see you rocking an entry setup.
Yes! Thank you!
I love kingkast equipment it’s great quality. I was an abu/ lew’s guy. I went on vacation and decided to fish bought a cheep kingkast combo now it’s my favorite.
I have 2 Kastking spinning reels. They're great. I have a Kastking Zephyr BFS baitcaster. I need to spend more time with. I've never had a birds nest that I couldn't get out. The Perigee rod you're using is nice. I have a ultralight one. You probably should have compared 2 more similar reels.
Fun Fact: I’ve never cleaned a reel 😂
same rip my curado dc
I’m guilty
Same 😂
When the better half goes away for the weekend I put my reels in the dishwasher but have never taken one apart . I have a bottle of reel oil from 2012 that I've never broken the seal on
Just do a quick rinse and regrease. Takes 2 mins.
Question: is your guys room and car always dirty inside?
I award you the best charismatic stylish mustache kastking caster 2021!
I went with a cheap Shimano spinning combo but I have my eye on a Kastking reel for my Ugly Stick.
I still have both reels and they still both work! Kastking needed a deep cleaning, and I had to change the drag disc in my Curado. Other than that both work fine!
Good review .. i was planning to get one kastking reel.. so am looking for some review.. this one is good review for meh
7' rod should cast farther
Im going to test these 2 reels and rods
Everything is completely different except the types of rod and reel.
Different lines, different sized rods and if you think grabbing a flatter handle is different than grabbing a rounder handle...
You caught me getting ready for work , a lil late but here 🤘..lets see what they are about. I've never used ,kastking or less but love shimano and Abu
I only always wonder what the teal color reel was... n boom there now i no.... Ya no i learned to cast overhand from u do to we both cast with left handed reels.....
Great vid. Perhaps you should compare apples to apples. Same size, ratio, line size, etc.
yes and no on Shimano. my curado mgl 151 bearings failed after seven months of daily used. They may be better but definitely not 5 times more of the price tag. cheers
Most baitcasting reels are relatively effective out of the box. The big difference between high quality equipment and low budget shows up when with the warranties are put to the test, the availability of parts are hard to find or very costly, or the company has gone out of business. Next we will see the post-Covid business sustainability models put into practice and prices drop even more.
For Kastkings ,it's so cheap, just buy a new ones !
Prices dropping, man this comment didnt age well!
For a cheaper brand I found Kastking to have really good products and never any issues with any of their lines, rods and reels I use from them. I have 2 Crixus reels and they both work great. I didn't even dial them in totally because got them right at the end of the season but looking forward to a full year of fishing with them in 2021.
how did they hold up last yr?
@@zipzip8239 I haven't had any problems with any of my baitcasterx spinning and spincast I have from them. Happy with all my reels from Kastking at this time.
@@brianreigle7905 thx good to hear
Got a few kingkast rods and baitcaster reels the royal I find does a better job then Shimano any day
Double R love this cause I’m a dad/husband that balls on a budget lol 😂🔥🔥🤟🏽🤙🏽💯
Smooth, well crafted fishing reel
No doubt shimanos will last 20 years plus for me. I sold my curado K. And my curado 70xg.. yes they are solid smooth reels. But i i love the look of the other brands like kastking, 13 fishing, pscifun and they even cast better than my 2 shimanos. Even my abu black max and okuma serano casted further than my shimanos.. maybe i was unlucky but for me who fish maybe 10 15 times a year. I will buy these cheaper awesome reels. And rather give them to someone if im tired of it and i wana test a new one without feeling bad. Its just not worth double or tripple the price for me
I'm also not bashing on kastking I love their products they are all great products and the price is amazing.
Kastking reels very good reels if you get a kastking mega jows elite is very good have one and one shimano curado and the different is shimano big prices
Well said! I agree, they work very well!
Low quality? KASTKING has no backlash and casts smoothly and for a fraction of the price of Shimano. Great drag and function is what quality is all about. Feel? Well that is a personal thing. KASTKING will be the go to reel now that the AMB auto spool control is now available exclusively on KASTKING reels. No thumb control is necessary! KASTKING is now King of the bait casting market! How do I buy stock in this?
Whats better the spartucus 2 or crixus?
Crixus! Hands down one of their best affordable reel.
The SOOLF Baitcasting Fishing Reel are like $40 and they r amazing ! Better then my Abu Garcia. I was shocked
Nice review. Thumbs up!
What the setting on the internal breaking on your Curado?
KASTKING with their patented AMB spool control system has eliminated backlashes! It has never been done before! KASTKING is about to be KING of the bait casting reels! Shimano eat your heart out!
Are you soft in the head? Dawia and shimano will always be king of fishing
Sooooo different length rods with different kinds of line..l am done already.
Great video I fish mainly kastking because I fish out of a kayak and if I dump a few over board lol.
about kasking have drag sound?
I'm glad they sent me the wrong color reel when I ordered mine that green is ugly when it gets dirty and worn
KK customer relations are spot on..Have been for me anyways.
KastKing definitely value
You’re at Ashford I used to work there lol
Oooo this should be good!
Let me know what you think!
Which cast king is that you’re not telling us you know they have different models
Kastking any day
I absolutely love this review 😍
What rod would recommend on the last king circus because I just got one and I’m looking for a budget and good quality rod
Walmart Lewis hank parker rod 7 medium heavy
Storm adventure extreme medium
Seriously??? You comparing a 40 bugs reel with 200 dollars reel. How is that fair? 🤦🤦🤦
Shimano is made so much better. See where there at in 3 years. They also use crappy bearings. Shimano makes there own in house. Your comparing a 60 dollar reel to 180 dollar reel so that's 3times the cost. The new Curado Ks are even smoother with micro modular gears.Still solid after 4 years
@peter kerns I've had a Stradic handle break off before they were one piece handles and a Symetre lock up.but I also burned the gears as well as my cousin burn the gears out of our Speed demons in less than 6 months. I can say Kast king gave us our money back. All I threw with my speed demon was Hollow bellied frogz,buzz baits and jigs, my Shimanos both broke with fish on and I lost both fish. A Striper around 30 inches in the mouth of the Merrimack in NH and A snook around 10 to 12 lbs. I've burned out 3 Abu Garcia 2 black max one Pro max 2 Quantum tours one spinning one Baitcaster, . They can all break. I have a Kast King 300 Kapstan I really like, but I Mainly use Curado K 2 200s and I ordered a 300k because I.the last 3 years I mainly throw Swimbaits. The 200s are on there 3rd season throwing 2 to 4 oz baits, both still work amazing and the micro modular gears are rugged, super smooth and just flat out hold up to my abuse. I live in Massachusetts now and mainly largemouth fish, but I would throw it in a second for a big Red, Snook, or Striper.The Curado K is the best bait caster for my main purpose of throwing Swimbaits. I also have a Calcutta I use and they all hold up to throwing big baits like 9 in Slammer's, Spro 59 rats, as well as 8, and Huddleston Trout. By far, my favorite reels. Kapstan 300 to throw bigger baits like 10 inch triple trout, Depa 250s, and Hinkle shad. I'll do a full side by side with the Kapstan 300 vs the Curado K 300 and tell you my honest feelings. So far, I don't have to many complaints about the Kapstan but its too bulky. Most Swimbait guys don't use 200 size reels but I get 120 yards of 65 braid on my Curado K 200s, and I usually pair it with a 795 or 806 Dobyns. Awesome set ups. If you're with Kast King,, just giving some honest feedback. Kast king needs to makes an 8ft 1 to 5 or 6 ounce parabolic Swim bait rod.I would definitely be on board.
@peter kerns If you want to see a Kast King breakdown video as well as alot of reels Unmentioned, go on Taller Advisors and look at the difference between how they've made
Can I put a kast king baitcaster on my uglystick? Total noob sorry 😄
Depending if it is a baitcaster rod or a spinning rod
If it is a baitcaster rod them most likely
I want a castking
MOUSTAAAAAACHEEEE
Cool
The cast king reel on Amazon is like 20$?
They go for $50-$60
$20 ? I see it for $60
I just bought it,36$
Fc From Thailand your very good vdo
Nice brother 👍👍🤝
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It ain’t a Fishing Video with out Googan Baits
LOL COMPARING TEMU REELS WITH FERARI ENGINEERED REELS
Kastking make way better reel like mega jows elite
Fun fact we are comparing a rolls Royse to Geelly (reels) oo ok we are also going to compare an NBL pro to a preschool beginner basketball player( rods) very big difference between the two combos being used
👍👍
👍
Don't overestimate cheap reels or they'll surprise you;)
So... I recently purchased Curado DC. I've always bought budget or lower priced models like the SLX mgl.. etc. Up until the Curado DC my most expensive reel was my first one ever, Zebco Bullet. FYI Bullet is an awesome spincast reel. Casts a mile and super fast retrieve.... My actual reason for commenting is this. Stop fooling yourselves into buying lame reel after lamer reel. I was like many of you on here now doing mental gymnastics trying to convince yourself that the $60 KK is just as good as the $200 Curado. Maybe it is but I seriously doubt it. The Curado DC I purchased for little over 3 bills after line spooling is badass. No joke. I use to have 2 or 3 rods with me for faster lure/bait switches. Nah, I will take the time to tie a new lure or hook. The distance, line control, and zero backlash threat has made it worth every penny.
You get what you pay for as they say
$300 reel...i'll pass. cheep reels work just fine for me, im catching 5lb bass not sharks lol.
@@zipzip8239 True they all catch Bass
kastking AMB is so much better than DC
That is over 100 dollars diferent
Give away om 😁
👍👍👍👍🙏
Its very goods recomended. Hy am from indonesia like you fihing. Welcome to join to indonesian
That's like comparing a mustang to a push bike lol
Krap king are disposable razor grade reels using cheap Chinese materials and labor costs.
They are not for everyone but great for beginners
@@RyanRigged The # of 1 and 2 star reviews nation wise spread out over many months says plenty about kast king's inconsistent quality and poor dependability . On the other hand when you see loads of 5 star reviews raving a product within the same week its highly suspicious of phony reviews and marketing hype. Crixus reel wise many had the reel's spool come off center and the reel broke on a first trip. For a beginner it might be good as they learn the kast king scam at a cheap price.
Kast king is trash
lol homie mad prolly using Bass pro brand
@RyanRigged it's ok you got yours for free. I'm gonna tell everyone who gotta pay for theirs to save their money
you compare a 100 $ to a 300$ reel!!!! 🤣
Its a $60 and $130 reel, and yes. The purpose is a comparison
When i see a noname brand such as CastKing being compared to the top three in the video title, there's no need to guess, you know the person filming would be praising the noname brand. You buy a Daiwa/Shima/Abu when you respect yourself. You buy a noname brand such as CastKing/Piscifun or any of the Chinesium brands when you don't care about your experience while fishing.
Abu Garcia and KastKing are made in the same Chinese factory 😆💀. KastKing is not a "no name" brand. It's actually the fastest growing fishing company in the world right now. People always say "You get what you pay for" and while that's often the case, with Shimano and Daiwa you're paying extra for a name, expensive marketing campaigns, and store markup. KastKing has a direct to consumer model which saves 20-30% on average. But, if being in big box stores is important to you then head over to Academy Sports and check out KastKing for yourself as they are now carried in store. Until then, check your unsubstantiated opinion at the door 😜
@@WorldsOkayestFisherman agree
You're totally wrong. I own Shimano and Okuma reels and rods. The Kastking Sharky Baitfeeder spinning reel beats both Shimano and Okuma baitfeeder reels. I sold the name brand baitfeeders, because the Kastking version is better 🤦🏽♂️🤣 The fishing industry is changing bro. You can buy $50 rods now that are actually good. Lews has a nice $60 baitcaster that's similar to the Crixus. All this shit is made in China 🇨🇳 💀
@@thesonorandesertangler Hi. Are you from Jupiter? Imagine even putting noname brands like KastWhatever with Shimano🤭 And you begin your paragraph with "you're totally wrong" lol. We on Earth here. You can keep your Jupiter standards.
KastKing is nothing else but a Chinesium reel from Aliexpress rebranded by some folks from the US to sell to the clueless fisherman that doesn't know any better... you and the teeners that have never used a Shimano reel worth more than $99 and assume this is as good as it gets from Shimano.
And you're wrong with all the shit made in China. All Shimano high end is made in Japan, their mid end is made in Malaysia and their Walmart grade end (still light years away from bottom of the barrel kastking shit) is made in China. Shit brands are making their reels in China, not the quality ones.
@@L_A_C_K_I_N_G I'm from the Sonoran Desert biatch! I have Shimano, Okuma, and Lews reels and rods. I also own Kastking reels and their baitfeeder is the best one on the market. I'm sure you wouldn't know this, because you've never used a baitfeeder in your life. It is what it is. Sorry that it makes your butt hurt!
KastKing is gross and u can’t change my mind
I like how every time you point out the major differences you say there shouldn't be too much of a difference and then played out another difference.... You're supposed to remove variable fish tank the same rod with the same line and same lure and be the same gear ratio and different brands....
