Q:

Does this reel work for saltwater?

Answer: All I use my reel for is SALTWATER fishing!!

Answer: I've use my 5000 in Saltwater. To be honest last year I even submerged it while surf fishing with it, freshwater rinse after each use and stored for the winter. I figured being a very inexpensive reel, I'll just beat on it. Serviced it 2 weeks ago for schoolie fishing, opened it up, 1 tiny tiny spec of rust, on the spool shaft besides. Still had grease in it, no salt, or sand. A quick wipe down, oiled and greased and it's back in service. So I'd say for the money it will certainly work salt applications, had no problem taking down some 20lbs blues.

Answer: I own 2 of the 2000 series reels and have used them both for a year in fresh and saltwater with zero issues.

Answer: I've used a couple of my 2000 reels for inshore stuff. I've dunked them a few times. Just make sure you rinse them off after use, and re-up the oil and grease on the reel and you should be fine. But, honestly for the 20-25$ price point, if they only last me a season or two, I wouldn't care at all.

Answer: Do not use the Summer 2000 (assuming other models too) for saltwater. Rinsed thoroughly after one saltwater use and seized after a couple months of sitting in the garage. Prior to that worked great for many lake and stream visits.

Answer: I forgot to clean mine after a saltwater outing and it seized up over the winter and is now unusable. So definitely clean it if you use it for saltwater fishing.

Answer: No, this is only a freshwater fishing reel.

Answer: I've had a Summer 4000 for over 2 years now. It's been to the beach, dunked and dropped in the sand. It was a $20 purchase and I didn't take care of it one reason or another. It's been packed, shipped across the country and left in my shed for months. I got it out the other day to fit it to a new rod and it's good to go. It had a chopped paint job when I got it, and those spots aren't even corroded. The thing is a tank.

Answer: The Summer is not rated for saltwater. The Kodiak, though, is, and it's a great reel!

Answer: I had both bearings freeze up after 3 shore fishing trips and proper rinsing after. The company did not offer to repair or replace the reel. To be safe I would clean and grease the bearings after every salt exposure.

Q:

Does this bring an extra spool

Answer: This reel does not include and extra spool.

Answer: No. If you want extra spool then go for Mela model.

Answer: No extra spools in either of my 2 orders.

Answer: Unfortunately no. To be honest just buy two. For the price this reel can't be beat.

Answer: Nope!

Answer: Neither one of mine did. So I would say no.

Answer: Yes

Q:

I got the 3000. Would that be allright for my 7 ft med action rod?

Answer: The 3000, size wise is on par with most 2500 series reels(Shimano)! A 6ft to 7ft Rod would not be an issue for this reel. Just consider what rod would fit your fishing requirements.

Answer: Yes I have two 3000 and one is on a 7ft rod it's whatever feels right for you. Your the one fishing its your preference.

Q:

Will the summer 3000 work with the shakespeare ugly stick gx2? or the ugly stick elite?

Answer: Yes. I use the CastKing Summer 3000 with an Ugly Stick GX2.

Answer: I would match it to a 6' or 6 1/2' medium or light action ugly stick with no problem. If you are going with a heavy or medium heavy rod you should go up in reel size.

Answer: Yes it’s an Excellent choice as I have the same set up GX2 pair with either a 7’ GX2 or the Medium 9’ GX2 you will not be disappointed ????????????

Answer: I don't see why not I have it on my ugly stik lite pro and cirrus both work great for bass,catfish, and carp depends on the type of line u use I like to spool mine with braid to fluro leader

Answer: Yep. I have a Centron on my 6'6" MH gx2

Answer: I have a 4'6" ugly stick elite and the kast king fits it

Answer: I believe so, both rods should have standard reel seats so they should work just fine.

Q:

How do I send reel back to amazon

Answer: By contacting Amazon customer service, not asking people that bought it

Q:

Ugly stick 6 ft medium. Which reel should I get?

Answer: 2000 should be fine I have that on my ugly stick medium they don’t seem to have an in between for the 500 to the 2000

Answer: 1500-3000 definitely wouldn’t go bigger than that

Answer: A 3000 series

Q:

Would the 2000 work on an ultralight rod?

Answer: The 2000 model is just a little large for an ultra light rod. I use it on a 7 ft m action with 8 to 12 lb line.

Answer: No it won't, reel would be too big and powerful. This is a nice reel but it's more for light to light medium rods

Q:

Okay to put 4 lb. line on Summer 2000?

Answer: Yes 4 lb test would be fine on the Summer 2000.

Answer: I would think so, I have used 6lb on mine with no trouble.......Fish On !

Answer: yes

Q:

What size and lenth of braid should be used for the 500 reel with the calumus 4ft 6 in ultra light rod?

Answer: Pending on what your fishing. I use this for catfish.. I use 40 & 50 braid. Which I am surprised it works perfectly fine. Has not failed me yet....

Answer: I would use 8-10 lb braid for a ultralight set up

Q:

Which of these is best for bass fishing?

Answer: Depending on the type of fishing you are doing the 2000 to 4000 are perfect for bass fishing.

Answer: The 3000 will be a good all around choice for bass fishing.

Q:

I have a 5'6'' rod. which reel should i buy centron 500 or centron 2000? why?

Answer: It matters more the size of the fish you’re fishing for than the rod size. I would recommend the 2000 so you at least have the option to go bigger if you want to.

Answer: It all depends on what you are fishing for. Also depends on what size line you will be putting on it. The hire the lb line the bigger the reel your going to need. The heavier the action of the rod will also influence the size reel that you need. A lot of variable's

Answer: I have a 6ft ul with the 500 and 10lb braid

Answer: Skip this reel. It wont last that long. Used it once and it fell apart. Their customer service is terrible to non existent. Go with a Shimano. Less problems and better perfromance. Can get a Sierra for 30 bucks and its really good.

Q:

Is the centron 4000 good for saltwater fishing?

Answer: Def should be as I personally have the 3000 & 5000 and useboth for Saltwater Fishing ???? Super Smooth and they Bring in the Fish.

Answer: The KastKing Centron is not saltwater approved.

Answer: not saltwater approved

Answer: If you rinse it in fresh water and take it apart to make sure no salt water got inside.

Answer: Yes.. perfect for it..

Q:

They got rid of the blue paddle knob, thank you KastKing ! ?

Answer: To me, the color would not take away from the ruggedness of the reel. Mine held up fine catching huge reds along the east coast and also in Canada catching huge walleye and 10lb plus pike.

Q:

I'm reading the specs on the Summer 500. It says it holds 240 yards of 4lb test. A 500 size reel is typically tiny,anyone know the specs?

Answer: First the other answer is incorrect that it is not a bait cast it is a spin cast. It is not "tiny" but small. 5.2:1 gear ratio, that is correct on the 4lb test, 6lb is 155 yrds. I don't know what the drag specs are, sorry.

Answer: It is a regular size bait casting reel that I used for large mouth bass fishing. I've only used it a few times thus far but it has worked very well each time.

Q:

What size reel should I use for a 6' 6" ultralight rod that can help me cast far?

Answer: Id say the best all around reel would be the 2-3000 model (i have the 2000 series). If going to be fishing for pan fish mostly, go with the smaller 500. If going for bigger weight fish or tough fighters like carp/cats go with the 4-5k model. Anything in between those the 2-3000 series should be ideal. I've really enjoyed the reel after about 6months or so of use.

Answer: I personally put the 500 on a 5'6" ultra light that I use for crappie and it gives me great casts, even with 1/16 oz lures. I personally wouldn't go bigger than the 2000 for an ultra light setup.

Answer: Typically you want a smaller reel with lighter weight line. If you want to cast really far, use a split shot sinker either above or below your hook. Hope this helps.

Answer: I would buy the 2000

Q:

Summer difference

Answer: Nice color , perfect size for my rod

Answer: Color, that's it as far as I'm aware

Q:

Is the 4000 too big for a 6’6 medium rod for bass fishing?

Answer: For me is not too big for a 6'6" medium rod for bass fishing. I have not use the one I purchased, I have it spare for in case I need it.

Answer: no

Q:

Can I get replacement inner parts drag parts to the spool? I lost them the last time I tried to remove the line that got stuck in the reel.

Answer: You’ll have to contact kastking for parts

Answer: Yes you can. Just contact kastking.

Q:

what is the bigest size reel

Q:

I can’t find the size 500 reel

Answer: I will look to see if I can find it.

Q:

Do i need a spinning rod if i already own 2 kastking baitcasters (5:4 & 7:0)? if so what's best size/speed for crappie, perch, panfish??

Answer: A spinning rod under 6ft is always a good choice for creek fishing. I have a 5',5"6, and a 6' rod all are great. Even used them on lakes and in the river but for small creek fishing my 5' kastking is my favorite.

Answer: No, if using bait caster style reels spinning reels don’t really work for that application. The Kast king Summer and Centron reels are spinning style and have a gear ration of 5.2 :1. I purchased 2 of the 3000 series for trout and perch and work very well paired with 7’ poles.

Q:

Which one would be good for a 6ft rod? I’m gonna be using it for panfish and stocked trout.

Answer: 500 or 2000 would be perfect. My brother bought the 2000 for trout fishing and he has said it is the best rod he has ever bough and he uses it for trout fishing on a lake in Arizona.

Answer: This would be perfect. It's compact, light and with 2 to 4 pound test should be able to case very far. It's smooth and the drag is constant and works well. I would strongly recommend. I love mine a lot and bought a second one.

Answer: Great little reel. WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

Answer: I like the smallest one

Q:

Which reel is best for trout in creeks? Up to 14"

Answer: Hi max,

Answer: I just use a small ultra light reel, nothing real big. Trout have small a smaller mouth and take smaller hooks, big reels will just me more prone to pulling hooks.

Answer: The 500 will more than Handle any trout

Answer: 500 works for me

Q:

Is the handle grib rubber or plastic on the Centron?

Answer: Thanks for your inquiry, however, the KastKing, which I purchased for my son, is the KastKing Summer 3000, 5:2:1 and the grip is very smooth black rubber. Not sure if this will help, but that's about all the information I am able to provide. Tony

Answer: The handle grip is plastic.

Answer: Rubber

Answer: Nice Smoth reel 2000 &3000 are great for. Walleye and. Bass

Q:

what is the beifets and differences of the diff sizes???

Answer: Hi

Q:

How do you think this reel would do with a Plusinno 7ft spinning rod?

Answer: I pared with 10’ tsunami medium.,,

Answer: "IF" the reel worked properly it would work with the rod but not ideally. I would recommend a larger rod for the size of the reel. It is pretty large and would pair better with a 9' rod.

Answer: it might work for a little while, mine only lasted three fishing trips, the handle broke off , and now it is useless.

Q:

Is the 4000 good size for. 7ft ugly stick

Answer: I have a 3000 & 5000 Series and they both work great on the 7' or 9' Ugly sticks, so the 4000 should work fine.

Answer: Ugly Sticks are built like a tank, it should serve you well! Got a six footer on a Cabelas bait caster and it's a good combo for all kinds of fish...

Answer: Yes, the 4000 would be a good fit for that rod.

Answer: Perfect!

Q:

Which model will hold more line and best for catfishing. I'm using a 8ft pole.

Answer: Get summer 5000 or centron 5000 if you want to hold the max length of line. However they are going to be big. Other than the color and minor details there is no big difference between summer and centron. They are very smooth reels. Worth well above $25-$30

Answer: The 5000 size on both the Centron and Summer have the highest line capacity.

Answer: what size for 10ft surf casting rod

Q:

will 8 pound test be okay for the summer 500 ultra light?

Answer: According to the specifications it says for mono line 4lb/240yrds and 6lb/155yrs. Braid is 15lbs/240 and 20lbs/155. I’m sure you can use 8lb mono but you won’t be able to put much line on the reel since it is the 500 series. I’d recommend going with the 2000 series for 8lbs line. Hope this help with your question.

Answer: Me personally, I would never use 8 pound test line on a ultra light reel.

Q:

can you put 100 lb line braid on the 4000?

Answer: You could put it on by why would you? Are you targeting 100# fish? Anything in that range would certainly test the limits of the reel.

Answer: i would say that is overkill,maybe 30 would be good 40 at the most,i have one and use 28lb gliss line and i like it.

Q:

Do they have a carbon fiber drag? Which Kastking reels have a carbon fiber drag?

Answer: Check the kastking website. It's what it is for, answers to questions about their reels...

Q:

Would this reel be okay for surf fishing bait casting?

Q:

What reel is good for steelhead fishing?

Answer: For Steelhead you may need a tougher reel. We would suggest the Kodiak or the Sharky III.

Answer: Don’t know, I live in Florida.

Q:

Can somebody please explain the different models, and which one to recommend for just lake fishing...everything from catfish, drum, perch?

Answer: 3000

Q:

What are the different sizes and summer things for

Q:

i have a 6 foot light action rod what reel would work best on my rod?

Answer: I would use a 500 or a 2000 reels, depends on what you fish for. The 500 reel has 4 to 6LB capacity and the 2000 reel has 6 to 8LB capacity, these are mono line recommendations both reels are great for light rods. Now if you use braided line you can easily use at least 4 pounds more on either reels since they are much thinner then mono lines. I think the 500 is plenty for light action.

Answer: I have the 500 on my 6 foot rod that I use for trout and pan fish. If you need more line capacity I also have the 3000 size that holds plenty of line for catfish and inshore saltwater use.

Answer: The Summer 500 should work good on it.

Answer: I have the centron 500 on my 6 ft ultralight and really like it ,I

Q:

Is it a 500 or a 2000? Description shows 2000

Answer: I got a summer 3000.

Q:

What size for a 6'6" MA used mostly for flounder and anything else that may accidently bite(skate,sand shark, etc) in the back bays?

Answer: Hello,

Answer: the 4000 is a large reel suitable for skate,sand shark but for flounder i would go with a 2000 or 3000.

Q:

What do the sizes mean

Q:

Can I return the 5000 for the 3000”

Answer: If still in the return period you probably can.

Q:

Is this reel suited for large cat fishing in fresh water on a 12 or 16 foot rod cats in 50 plus class

Answer: definitely not the 3000 series would go with 5000+... 3000 ideally suited for large mouth bass/ smaller game fish.. im sure you could do it but would probably recommend going with the bigger reel for bigger game fish.

Answer: Hello,

Answer: I would probably step up to the 3000

Answer: No I would check into getting a heavier real for that

Q:

does this reel made for saltwater?

Answer: The reel itself can be used for both...however the reel needs to match what your after.. i use it for bass,catfish,and carp works great. I would imagine it working as long as your fishing similar sized species.

Answer: It can be used for salt or fresh water.

Q:

I have an almost unused spool of 20# mono, how many yards (approximately) of 20# mono can/will the size 3000 spool hold?

Answer: The Kastking centron 3000 will hold approximately 125-130 yards of 20 pound mono depending on the diameter of the line.

Answer: The amount it holds is available though a google search. It list the diameter of line and corresponding amount it will hold, so mono braid what ever can be figured out. I can tell you it can probably hold plenty of 20# line for an inland fishing situation.

Q:

How much 12 pound monofilament will the summer 3000 hold?

Answer: 260 yd of 12lb mono. Will hold more with 20 lb braid. Kastking makes a great braid line.

Q:

Can't the drag adjustment from another model, like this one, fit my blade 4000? i also need a replace screw for the blade 4000 handle, which fell off?

Answer: The spool size on each model is different meaning some are smaller some are bigger same with the drag screw. For the price I would say just get another reel.

Q:

What about a blue rod that match the reel

Answer: It depends on your taste. I would recommend the KastKing Centron for a blue rod since its darker and still has blue accents. The Summer reel is too light. But then again if you like the white with blue combination then the Summer works also. It's really up to what you like. I would recommend looking at both reels.

Answer: Whatever floats your boat. Bwahahaha

Q:

What reel is it attached to?

Answer: This is the reel so I assume you are asking what rod it attaches to. The rod I use is an ugly stic medium light 7' rod. I hope this helps.

Q:

Do they have a saltwater version ?

Answer: Yes the Valiant Eagle is offered as freshwater and saltwater reel

Q:

Do you guys sell an extra spool separately to swap braid and mono?

Q:

What size braid is recommended for centron 2000 bass fishing?

Answer: I personally would'nt use it for bass. It's a bit on the light side. It really depends on the size of bass you catch. I like to keep a few bass for dinner if the size will allow it.

Jesse : UnREEL reel!

This is an awesome reel! It is unbelievable how great this reel feels in your hand. Super comfortable, very light weight and durable. I bought this reel specifically for trout fishing in the upper peninsula. I wanted to try Kast Kings line of the summer centron series and I’m sure glad I did. If you are like me and want a tee that’s going to handle the kick and fight of fish that pack a punch like brook trout, then you need this reel! Not only did I like it so much, everyone I have showed it to has been amazed and especially by the price! Felt like it was show and tell brining this reel into work and showing it off to 63 people! Even had to buy one for family members for Christmas. I hope this helps anyone I then femce with this great product. Kast King has done it again!

reggie diaz : ... looking for a high quality low price reel that's easy to use then this is the reel for you

If you are looking for a high quality low price reel that's easy to use then this is the reel for you. not only does it look and feel like high quality but with up to 20lbs of drag it also high performance. If fishing is your passion then this reel is a must have

RJ : Decent reel if in a pinch

It's ok. It's pretty smooth, drag works well, but like others have mentioned a very plastic feel. I must laugh however and question the authenticity of those comparing this reel to Shimanos and other higher end reels. I own a high end Shimano and it casts light years farther. My Shimano also weighs much more (which is a good thing) due to denser materials and more metal parts. The kastking is actually so light it's difficult to engage the spool after a cast. But in a pinch or as a temporary backup this reel is fine. I will use it until I replace it with another Shimano. It gets 3 stars because of the price, which I think is fair for what you get. If it costed more I'd honestly give it a 2.

Reggie : Superb Quality ! Reviews tell the facts ! Base your opinion on them !

A Great Reel for the money , well built , smooth operation ! I used the 2000 model for trout fishing in the mountains of NC. and caught several 1 lb 6oz Rainbows including one Nice 2lb 2oz Rainbow on this Reel , it worked like a clock ! Thanks KingCast for a well made Reel ! Hopefully with proper cleaning and maintenance it will last for years to come !

Kindle Customer : Unbelievable value. Really surprised.

This reel is amazing. Reminds me of my former favorite brand sh**ano. This is silky smooth and quiet. Looks sharp and is built more durably than I expected. Unfortunately, I bought the 500 when I thought I was ordering the 5000. I will be keeping the 500 for my stream trout rod. I also ordered the 5000 for pier fishing this fall for salmon. 4 stars instead of 5 because I haven't actually used it yet but I can tell quality when I see it. This reel could sell for 20$ more easily. Get them before they come to their senses!!

A. Carvell : inconsistent quality

I previously purchased and used a Centron 2000 for several months and was overall pleased with the quality of the reel. Spooled it with 6 lb mono and used it on a med.light trout rod. Very smooth, no drag issues even with big brown trout. Based on that reel, I purchased an additional Centron in the 3000 size. Its like a totally different reel (for the worse). The reel out-of-box required lubrication, which probably should have gotten it returned immediately, but I greased it and put it to use. The bail wire protrudes very far from the reel and will knock knuckles when reeling. It's like they used the bail from a 4000 reel but the stem isn't longer to compensate. Thought it might be due to the rod's reel seat design, but I switched it to a different rod and still had the same issue. The anti-reverse also has significant play compared to the previous 2000 size. It also managed to do something I've never experienced with a reel before : the bail opened while fighting a fish (possibly due to the bail wire knocking my knuckles on a retrieve?). Usually Kast King reels are a good value, but with these sorts of issues, I could have gotten a less expensive Walmart reel and gotten better results.

Willy T. : Inoperative worm gear

I bought this reel knowing it wasn't expensive, but without worm gear engaged-useless. I took the reel apart, (like many, before using,) and, from what I can tell, there has to be a piece missing or something. I bought two. One works well, the other a paper weight. I guess I will keep the spool for a spare and toss the rest of reel in the trash. Buyers beware, and test thoroughly right out of the box, and make necessary contacts with shipper/seller/maker.

Virginia Customer : Can't go wrong here, Well Built!

It will be a few months before I can put this to use but I am not disappointed with the buy one bit. A little heavier than expected, but the way it is built it will last. Will be using on an 8' light for white perch and crappie. I may get another rod but 7' next time and will most likely get the 500 again but in blue. I think this will do the job just fine on either.
I believe KastKing is striving to put out good products they way they should in keeping the name up at the top. I wish they didn't have to start having product made overseas to stay competitive.

I have a Rover 40 conventional that I love and will be buying another as I do more trolling and cat fishing than I will be for crappie and white perch.

sonlds2002 : Cheap quality with short durability

I bought it for my 8 yr old girl after reading all the positive reviews. The reel stopped working after two fishing excursion. I made sure to wash it off with water after both time since I live in Hawaii and fish in saltwater. I would never buy this brand. It feels like a cheap plastic Chinese stuff.

Tj Smith : Mediocre at best

It’s “ok”, expected better from kast king but you get what you paid for. It looks good but I paid $10 more for a tight line “ cabelas brand “ and it feels way more secure and feels better made then the Kast King. I bought the 4000 and it can definitely cast far with a 12 ft rod and 50lb braid, but it feels like it struggles on bigger fish, and the “handle grip” on the arm feels cheap and flimsy when trying to reel in a 2oz sinker

DJ : Awesome! Haven’t even made one cast yet but just the feel alone I already ordered another!

Just got my centron 2000. Feels real smooth. In fact it feels smoother then my pflueger pres 30. Both brand new. I almost want to return the pres and get a centron 3000 instead. I’ve already ordered another centron. Size 500 for a micro UL setup.
Visually it looks great. The black and blue color combo work well together. Appears solidly constructed. Has a nice tall spool.
Really want to rate this five stars, have to see how it performs in action. I’m almost positive I won’t be disappointed. Will update review end of April after the trip I bought this for. Hoping it brings in some slabs. Have good expectations of this reel. Time being four stars.

Weather Warrior : Buy it!

This reel, which is my second KastKing, is a blast! Light, good line capacity, high speed retrieve, and comfortable to use. Smooth as butter and will cast a country mile with a light lure. Drag is premium to boot! The only thing that gives me a problem is that they bail arm is hard to close if it gets out of position and the bail has to be closed by hand. That being said, most anglers close the bail by hand as a normal operation. Being old school and raised on internal bail closing reels this can be disconcerting.
But don't let that stop you from buying this reel! I have been thoroughly impressed by both of my KastKing reels and they have brought in quite a number of fish!

Sven : Amazing reel for the price

This reel has been amazing for the price. After using Penn reels for years costing x3-x4 times as much I decided to give the KastKing reel a try. I've used their line for years and have been generally happy with it. Picked up the 2000 for about 40 bucks and had low expectations but figured it would be good enough for basic panfish. It turns out this reel has taken the place of my other spinning reels. Casts extremely smooth and the retrieve rate is quick. Amazing value for the price. Had such a good experience I'm going to try their baitcaster next.

Lord Farquaad : Seized up after a saltwater trip

Thing was smooth as butter for the few times I took it to freshwater. Over the weekend I took it salt water fishing, came home, gave it a good rinse with a power hose nozzle just to have it seize up. I greased the hell out of it and with some forcing got the reel to spin again. It doesn't move like it once did though which is a bummer. Even bigger bummer is my return window closed 3 days ago. Great reel for freshwater but after every salt water trip I'd definitely make sure to rinse it for a while, then use some compressed air or something to make sure all the water is dried out. Or just don't take it salt water fishing. Lesson learned!

Dr. Mahmoud Al Aasar : AN AMAZING reel for its price

AN AMAZING reel for its price .... i got this as a starting reel for my 6 year old son.. he loves it !! and he even caught 2 fish on his first ever time using a reel:) you will be amazed at how good this reel is !!! i bought the 2000 series .. the drag was good for its size ... i will for sure try the rest of the reels made by this company... feels like $90 reel :) for one third the price .

Darrell W Taylor : Not Smooth at ALL!

Save some coins and go with (China Brands) Thekuai 1000 or Himalayaplus 1000. You can shop them as cheap ad $7-15. They are smooth. I paired the Kastking with my St Croix Panfish Rod. Great rod - Shixy reel. I paid $7 for a Himalayaplus 1000. It's all metal gears and copper shaft. This Kastking has gear teeth that are off/busted right out of the box. I've got to waste my time returning it...

tom : not worth it even if you get it for free

Did not like the reel, just didn't work right, took forever to retrieve my bait on the 2000, had broken lines with drag being too tight, lost fish on the hookset for the drag being too loose, never had problem with any reel. Pay a few bucks more and stick with Quantum and Shimano reels. Had to return product and get refund, I will stick with my Quantum and Shimano reels, best in the world. And even their cheapest ones are waaaaaaaaaay better then the most expensive one here.

Tony : Heavy reel, slow retrieve, good for starting reel

Here's an honest review. For a 500 size reel, it is the heaviest thing. They chose to go with fairly robust build quality but using dense materials and cheap castings. This is a great beginners reel and you won't feel bad if you break it. A lot of it doesnt make sense though, gear ratios are too slow so reeling slack line of large fish is hard and can lose them, but it's heavy so it's uncomfortable fishing pan fish all day.

Don Harris : Smooth, Strong Reel

I ordered this reel thinking it would a little smaller than it is. I should have ordered the 3000. However, I have turned it into a catfish reel and it has met the challenge well. A week ago, I caught several 2 lbs - 4 lbs channel cats and it was great for the task. I had loaded it with 10 lbs test line thinking I would use it for bass. With the lighter line, I had to use a looser drag setting. It was smooth and strong. I enjoyed fishing with it. I bet the 5000 would be even better for cats and other large, harder fighting fish. For under $30, you can't beat it!

I highly recommend this reel to anyone considering it.

Tony : Excellent lightweight reel but needs a lower cost for a second spool. I just bought a second reel.

Loved the first one so much i just bought a second one. Liked the quality, finish, smoothness and the solid feel. Only thing i disliked is the cost for an extra spool. I loaded it with 6 lb braid for small fish but i also want to load it with maybe 10 or 12 lb test for bigger fish. I called customer service for another spool and the price was $12. The price for the reel was only $22. Why can't Kastking add a second spool and raise the cost a little? Just not more than half...

Aaron Nelson : Will catch fish.... for a day. Then into the trash

This reel landed me a couple of nice snook. I thought I got myself a bargain.

After a thorough wash when I got home I packed it away until my next fishing trip. Unfortunately the reel is clearly made out of the cheapest components (not surprised due to low cost) and was unusable after just one fishing trip.

If you are fresh water fishing I guess you are fine, but if not, might be best to look elsewhere.

C.W. : Too long

I use a lot of Kastking products and generally like them,but the 4000 spinning reel I recently bought was very disappointing as to ergonomics. The body of the reel is too far forward of the reel seat. If you put the reel between your fingers, you cannot reach the bail easily. Yes,you can change your grip but is not intuitive or comfortable. If you are going to use the reel for bait fishing I’m sure it will be fine,but it will not be comfortable for chunking lures.

Crash001 : Great value reel for the $

Great freshwater reel for the $

Drags smooth, many aspects of this reel makes it feel like it’s more expensive then what you pay for.

This reel feels heavy for its size, even considering the metal that’s cut out around the spool this reel feels a bit heavy.

If kastking would have put a better quality knob on the handle and to adjust the drag this reel would be perfect I’d gladly pay an extra 5$ for that. And these two places are the only parts of the reel that feel cheap.

I would only recommend this reel for shore fishing. Due to the design any water splashing on the reel can get inside very easily so I don’t use this reel on my Kayak, or very much on the boat even in fresh water.

I use this reel on a telescopic pole with 8# yo zuri hybrid line and have caught 20+ striped bass on it. I got this to leave in my car

For the price I feel this is a good value, I would imagine that the 5000 would be an excellent catfish reel.

Dave : Line never spools evenly, even after respooling.

Everything looked good out of the box, but as soon as I started loading line on, I noticed why this is sooooo cheap. The line does not spool evenly. It is spooled in a cone shape concentrating the line toward the top of the spool. When you go to the cast, the line gets stuck under each other and stops your bait in mid-air. I even respooled new line and the exact same problems occurred. Date night sucked as she got frustrated because of this reel.

joseph dimatteo : Great finess UL reel.

I’m really enjoying this reel. I have it paired with a 7’ UL ugly stick Elite. Very smooth. Using 4lb test Fluor. It seems a tad heavy seems well constructed. Maybe slightly off balance with my rod combo and a bit tight where I grip my hand so again that could be my combo choice or design flaw, meaning maybe the reel needs a wider gap between the reel and rod. Great for the price and will buy more and interested in other sizes.

Kindle Customer : Unbelievable value. Really surprised.

This reel is amazing. Reminds me of my former favorite brand sh**ano. This is silky smooth and quiet. Looks sharp and is built more durably than I expected. Unfortunately, I bought the 500 when I thought I was ordering the 5000. I will be keeping the 500 for my stream trout rod. I also ordered the 5000 for pier fishing this fall for salmon. 4 stars instead of 5 because I haven't actually used it yet but I can tell quality when I see it. This reel could sell for 20$ more easily. Get them before they come to their senses!!

NM : 500 Series - GREAT for panfish and brook trout

I got the little 500-series version of this reel to go on 3-piece 5' ultra-light backpacking rod. Took it to CA into the Sierras for some hiking and fishing. Worked great with 4lb test on it for the streams and small lakes. Caught several decent sizes rainbows and brookies with no issues. Then took it along on a bass trip and just through a small jig with it. TORE UP the bream on two different lakes. Reel runs dead quiet and ultra smooth. Amazing value for a $25 reel. Decided to get the 2000-series to put on a 6'-6" Medium Diawa Laguna as a general purpose lake set up. Really amazed at the quality for the price. Time will tell how it holds up I guess.

Jose : ... going to be fishing from shore you will be fine. I was fishing from the surf and a ...

If you're going to be fishing from shore you will be fine. I was fishing from the surf and a small wave hit my reel and nothing happened until a few days later that I realized that it did not want to turn. I added some lube and cleaned it really well with WD-40 and it sort of helped but it was not as smooth as when I bought it. When you wind the handle down it'll feel like you're pulling something very heavy.

Extremely disappointed in that this reel didn't last long for me. Most reels I have get splashed with salt water and will still work. This does not.

Dan : Great bang for the buck!

I've been fishing for over 20 years. I've tried a bunch of name brand reels. If you want bang for your buck, this is your winner! Definitely an upgraded over the lower end name brands that go for more.

Pros:
It is super smooth! I can definitely feel the 9 ball bearings. Drag feels real smooth as well. 6 washers in the drag. Spool is metal with a good lip. Bail is sturdy and feels solid on open and closes. Instant anti-reverse. Reel feels durable.

Cons:
The reel is a bit the heavy side. The bail can be a bit hard to flip over at times using the handle. It only came with just one spool.

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm excited to fish with it.

SLFARM : Durable, spend days submerged in saltwater.

Had the 2000 series for over a year now, it's been great. Use it in salt and freshwater, caught everything from Striped Bass to Rainbow Trout. Very smoothe reel. So 3 days ago my rod/reel fell overboard in a saltwater tidal creek. I went out today and retrieved it. Reel, after cleaning, is operating as if nothing happened. Bearings still look good and function like they were new. Some of the "chrome" finish got tarnished but the aluminum anodized parts are unscathed. This is a phenomenal reel for the price. I have not been paid for this review, I bought this with my own money after reading reviews. You will not be disappointed with this reel. Thank you Kastking.

Justin : Great way to lose lures

Only have one gripe with this reel, and it's a big gripe. When you open the bale to cast, there is a good chance that your line will be pulled down around the bale and snag as you cast. I've had many spinning reels, and this is my first time encountering this problem. I've lost many of my lures due to this flaw. I miss my rectangles n stinkers.

jared : I don’t think I can write enough good things about this reel

I don’t think I can write enough good things about this reel. I put it on a Berkley rod and took it out fishing to see what it would hold up to. Started off catching nice snapper and this reel performed flawlessly. I set the drag a little low just in case I caught something bigger. Drag is smooth and easy to change on the fly. Later in the day I caught 2 really nice redfish with this reel. Reel is so amazingly smooth when catching bigger fish. I have 20lb braid on this reel which has made for the perfect combo. His is hands down one of the best reels I have ever owned.

Justin M : Frozen bearings!

The bearings froze after use in salt water and a proper rinse with fresh water. These bearings are not stainless steel. They appear to be mild steel. My reel is now useless.

D. J. Montemayor : Love my Centron 3000!

So far, I am VERY impressed with my new Centron 3000 on also my new KastKing Perigee II 7'Med 2-piece FA rod. On just my second cast with the new setup, I caught a nice 2lb bass using 20lb Spiderwire Moss Green braid and a 10lb Berkley Vanish Flurocarbon leader. Lure used was a Owner Ultrahead shaky type 3/32oz shakyhead with a Googan Baits drag-n-drop 4" Brown Gill. Can't wait to see what else I can catch with it.

Lindsay Taylor : Not bad, not great

I purchased this to use on my drop shot rod (St. Croix Legend Tournament). I know, I know, why put a cheap reel on an expensive rod?! Well, I just never really saw the need for a high dollar spinning reel. Baitcasting is another story, I go quality. For spinning, I usually use Plueger Presidente or Shimano Sahara (budget quality). I decided to give KastKing a try. This reel did not cast well on this particular rod (this was most likely the fit on my rod. The eyes protrude on this rod and I think it was made for a 2000 size reel). I also use 15lb braid with a leader. The line does not spool up even on this reel. All the line bunched towards the bottom of the spool. I was getting terrible wind knots. Again, this is not as big of a problem with straight mono, but it didn't work for me. The drag is not very smooth either. It works, but not very smooth.
Now, I know it sounds like I'm beating up on this product, but that's not my intention. It didn't work well with my initial setup, but overall it's not too bad. I switched it to my ultralight rod with straight 4lb line for panfish, and it works better on that setup. Line still isn't even on the spool, but it's not as much of an issue with straight mono. For the price, it's not bad at all. However, I need a pretty smooth drag on a drop shot reel, because I really play out the fish. All in all, I'd buy this reel again, just not for an application that needs a super smooth drag. If you're looking for a budget option that will catch fish, this will work. I did catch quite a few fish in the 1-3lb class, and didn't lose any because of the drag, I just prefer a smoother drag. I would consider trying one of the higher end KastKing reels, so I'm not turned off by the brand. Honestly, for the price, I couldn't really ask for more.

Dom Duncan : Great value

I've fished this reel heavily in rivers for salmon over the last few months. No problems with large coho and chinook, down to small native trout. Spooled with 30lb braided line and a 12lb leader and it runs great. I fish in the rain and the reel has been dunked in the river a few times during crossings and still running smoothly and catching fish. Very impressed with how smooth this reel is for the price. I will be looking at higher quality models from KastKing in the future.

Seth : Great reels!!

I’ve bought and used all sorts of different spinning reels over the years. Expensive name brands and off-brand cheapo stuff etc.. the centron reels are hard to beat! For the price and value they are awesome. I love the 500 size for my panfish rods. I own 3 of the 500’s, 2 of the 2000, and a 5000 size. I love them all. The 5000 size makes a perfect catfish reel when paired with any basic medium-heavy 7 or 8 ft rod.

I had a 500 size summer (white one) that fell apart rather quickly, but I’ve had great luck with the centron line (blue/black). A couple of mine have seen a ton of use. They do wear out.. one of my 2000 size reels has 2 hard years on it (I fish a lot) and it’s just now starting to feel a bit worn out, but still going strong. For the price I call that a win!

For someone who only fishes 4 or 5 times a year these reels will last a long time. I highly recommend them! It’s a spinning reel at an entry level price point, that handles and feels like a nicer mid-level reel. It’s no shimano, but it’s a fraction of the cost! For the average freshwater angler these are fine. Don’t hesitate to order one and give kastking a try!

EDinWAState : VERY SATISFIED

Love the reel! It's smooth action and tight, firm bail make this a go-to reel for light to medium trout, crappie, bass, and lake perch fishing.
I rated it only four stars because I haven't used it long enough to judge the durability.
I suspect, that with proper maintenance, this reel will be handed down to my great, grandkids someday to the chagrin of my grandkids today.

ronald flood : Amazing reels

Have both the 500 and the 2000 guess they made the 500 a lil larger than an ultra light reel (able to hold more line) well needless to say I loved the 2000 so I bought the 500 and also bought the kast king resolute rod and it’s an amazing combo for the price both reels seem really solid I mean I used to burn through Walmart reels about every year with ultra light setups and this has a 1 year warranty then also signing up for there vip program which is free they extend that warranty another year I think kast king is my go to company for now on

jeff morris : Awesome Budget Reel !!!

Just received the 2000 model... from first impressions it seems like a well built reel for the money... should be perfect for fishing the local creeks for smallmouth... always looking to save money and not skimp on quality.. so if this reel turns out to be a winner... I may be a KastKing believer... I've been using Penn and Diawa for years and have owned pretty much every brand of reels over the past 25 years that I've been fishing.. high hopes for this reel and this company...

UPDATE : Had this reel out a few times in the local creek... so far this reel has been great.... caught numerous smallies of good size... had no problem managing with this reel... it's super light weight for repetitive casting.... seems to cast very well.... the only two complaints that I have are that I wish there was a larger more substantial handle.... the handle and knob feel kind of small and unsubstantial... also the drag is slightly sticky... not when you have a fish on... but when letting out line by hand to re-tie lures, etc.... those are minimal complaints for an otherwise awesome budget real... those two issues are not deal breakers at this price point... if the reel cost twice as much... then I'd have an issue... but for less than $25... a fantastic reel... even if it only lasts one season...
