KastKingMg12 Elite Baitcasting Fishing Reel, Only 4.8 oz, Magnesium Frame, Patented AMB System Eliminating Backlashes, Easily Cast Lures Down to 1/8 oz, 11+1 Double Shielded BBS, 7.5:1 Gear Ratio

Just received the new KastKing Mg12 Elite right handed bait casting reel. First impression was "man this thing is light". I spooled it up and tied on some different weighted lures to test out the casting. Man, what versatile reel. Casting is very smooth and I always worry about nesting with lighter lures on my other bait casters. The MG12 Elite is spot on the best bait casting reel I own and well worth the price tag. The braking system allowed me to throw a lighter lure that I can normally cast with a bait caster. This opens up the possibilities for my personal fishing. This is another fantastic product by KastKing. Why are you still reading this? Add it to your cart now.

The KastKing MG12 Elite is an outstanding fishing reel that has exceeded my expectations. Its solid construction and sleek design give it a premium feel, while the 12-bearing system ensures smooth and reliable performance with every cast and retrieval. This reel handles it all with ease, thanks to its excellent line capacity and adjustable drag system. The ergonomic handle and comfortable grip make it a pleasure to use for extended periods, and the precise gear ratio ensures quick and efficient line retrieval. Overall, the KastKing MG12 Elite is a top-notch reel that I highly recommend to anglers of all skill levels.

Used the reel for the first time today. It's light weight, and smooth casting after I figured out how to use the different adjustments on it. Also, it's a very cool design, plus the purple on it makes it look stylish too.

This will make my 6th Kastking reel purchase. I paid the full asking price and KK hasn't ever solicited my opinion on any of the purchases I've made. I bought this reel wanting a 7 ft rig that would cast and handle light weight jigs worms and plastics. The Crixus combos just couldn't cast a small Rebel grasshopper, or a 1/16oz jig more than 30 ft without being adjusted right on the edge of nesting, and if anything was off just a little bit with my cast I was reaching for a backup.I had trusted KK with a little of my money and been pretty happy with the products so naturally when I started looking for a upgrade I looked at KKs offerings first. Not sure why I made such a big leap but I'm happy so far.This thing is smooth as silk. 1/16 jig heads on a ML 7' rod go out to 50 feet effortlessly. Overhead casting has been my Achilles heel, but no problems with the MG12. So far I've only had 1 minor tangle with a snag on a high weed behind me while bank fishing. If I were using any other baitcaster I own a knife would have been the remedy. I was able to sort it out in less than a minute and have yet to restring it in 4 trips.Will update if I find a negative, but at this point the only negative is lack of reviews by independent creditable reviewers and price, but if I get 3 years out of it that negitve will be a positive.

This reel is very light in the hand and fits nicely in the palm, very compact. Smooth with good amount of line capacity. Excited to try this reel out when the snow melts in the Midwest! The brake system is what I’m most looking forward to! Thanks KastKing for getting into the high end bait casting market!

I don’t dislike the reel but i think there is room for improvement. I originally bot this reel and paired it with a 7’11 heavy rod for glide baits and it missed the mark so I swapped it it with a curado 200 and put it with a 7’6” med heavy I use for shallow divers and it works. The only thing is I feel like at the price point it makes more sense to go with a bit cheaper reel ie curado 200 or Jonny morris sig series that is more versatile. I feel like the other 2 reels no matter what I have wanted to do with them they were able to handle the job a bit better. If you have a set plan for the reel and it’s lighter more precise cast i think it’s great for the job.

Love the reel casts great light and feels great on my duckett micro magic pro

This reel is extremely light, it almost feels like it is not there but is has all the power and drag of larger reel. The controls are well placed and well engineered. Long casts are smooth as butter. You need to add this to your arsenal, you won't be disappointed!
