KastKingMegatron Spinning Reel,Size 4000 Fishing Reel

I been buying kastking products lately and they are the best for the price the smoothness, the built quality can only be surpassed by much expensive reels so if you are looking for a good set kastking is what I recommend

I was really worried not seeing the size before buying. I love the smoothness and works great. Brought in gator trout and over 30" black drums with it and didn't strip the gears.

Looks nice light weight. So far it has not been working properly.

I purchased a few Megatrons for use on the boat, thinking that if one of my kids (or inebriated friends) banged it up or worse...sent it into the ocean...it wouldn't be that big of a loss.I should note that these reels see a lot of use - on average twice a week for about 8 months out of the year.Over the past two years the reels have held up fairly well. While I am consistent with rinsing the reels after each use, I typically disassemble/clean/re-grease the reels only once a year (between seasons). With this last pre-season maintenance, I noticed that some of the internal parts had salt build-up and a few were starting to corrode. There is some light pitting on one of the outside of one of the reel housings as well.I think realistically I'll get one more season out of the reels before I see a failure of some sort. If it's reasonable to replace the failed part, then I'll do so. Given the price point, I would certainly consider buying a new Megatron and using the hypothetical broken one for spare parts.For three solid years of hoisting sea bass, bluefish, fluke, and mackerel over the railing - I can't complain.To that end - it would be nice if the reel was sealed a bit better. For ~$50 (as of this writing), I'll keep my expectations in line.If you're considering a Megatron for freshwater use and/or occasional saltwater use - I think this is a solid reel for the money.

My only problem with this reel is the bail sometimes refuses to open fully resulting in a severely bad cast. Other than that solid reel. Just watch the bail.
