Natalie Kilpatrick : Kalex 1499519 XL2 Low Profile RH Bait Casting Fishing Reel

Durable and well manufactured. Definitely not a cheap piece of equipment. Works as intended.

Max Orde : good product

Amazon Customer : Good reel

This is a nice reel as described, good magnet action, low profile. good craftsmanship.

Amazon Customer : Scam, Had though time,got money back ????????????????????.

???????????????????? Kalex bearings lasted only a week,test with plug. Gave benefit of dought ????. Let's be real, pay extra, get a Abu Garcia reel ????. Takes money and time to play ????????.

Christopher : Reel feels light and cheap

The reel does feel light and cheap, however the specs are really great on this reel. I own alot of baitcasting reels for fresh and saltwater. I bought 2 of this specific reels, because you can't beat the normal price. Using it for Bass Fishing, I've already pulled out 2 without any problems. If your looking for a bait casting reel without spending alot of money. I would highly recommend it. Of course the reel is no comparison to the Lew's or Diawa bait casting brands I own.

Nathan Laveroni : Garbage

Drag broke on day 2

YCastro : Great reels! Specs are well thought out

I have all the series of the Kalex baitcast reels and love them all. This one in particular is one of my favorites and one of the first I purchased. The colors on it are pretty cool. Excellent casting, smooth drag. Catches more fish than my Kast king reel!

Christopher : Reel feels light and cheap

Mr. notsure : Great for the price

I got calamus bait casting for $24. It looks and feels like a lot more expensive.

Rahni : Worth the money..!!!!!!

My son is left handed and he chose this one bc of the colors!
The colors were spot on..!!! Awesome!
Smooth casting and easy to reel in..!!!

Bojangles : Poorly made

Poorly made

Mr. notsure : Great for the price

I got calamus bait casting for $24. It looks and feels like a lot more expensive.

Josh : Junk

Drag stripped out first day using it on 3rd fish

Amazon Customer : Waste of money

Terrible don't use braided line can't hold more than about 100yds of line

bfs : !(Penn Sargus Baitcast reel)

UPDATE: These do not last more than a season. Go with a low-end Daiwa or Blackmax instead.

I was hoping this was Pure Fishing’s way of rereleasing the Penn Sargus SAR64LP Baitcast reel but I don’t think it is. If you are looking for a beater reel and lucky enough to find this on Amazon for under $20, do it.

Eugene L. Youngs : Stylish design

The reel came in a nice box and it worked ok during a tournament. Smooth and easy to use with little backslash and Its light weight which is good but also bad because it felt really cheap and would break. Its not a bad reel but not a great reel either. It would be a good choice for someone who is fishing a baitcast reel for the first time.

R. Tom : A Reel Grinder

When this reel was new it was smooth as butter and a pleasure to cast and retrieve. 2 weeks later it became a grinder. Rough casting and retrieval, felt like gears were grinding...sounded like an old movie projector. I returned it to Kastking (excellent customer support) and they sent me a new one. Again smooth like butter. One month later it was a grinder just like the first one. Both reels we're never taken apart. Interestingly both reels without the spool was smooth like butter. When the spool is put in place it starts grinding. I set the spool and the removable cap in place multiple times to ensure it was set right but to no avail. I bought a Picsifun Torrent about the same time as the 2nd Legend 2 for about the same price and it still casts and retrieves like butter. Kastking let me know if I'm doing something wrong, otherwise the Legend 2 will be put with my pile of lost lures never to be seen again. (I'll buy another Picsifun Torrent to replace it).

Sarbopey4 : For beginner baitcasting fishermen

Does not work well with 20lb. Fluro. Nice looking reel though. I'm gonna try 10lb mono.

Clifford Brown : Amazing for the Price!

Bought the reel for $12 about a month ago and absolutely love it! Came in nice packaging is surprising smooth and cast great, it’s held up great haven’t noticed any wear. I’d definitely recommend picking one up if your looking for cheap reel to beat up on and have some fun I’ll be picking some more up! ????

Christopher : Reel feels light and cheap

Gabi's Dad : Quality reel with very good adjustable braking system

Great value....works as well as my more expensive baitcasters.
