Answer: You get a free spool of top quality braid line after you write a comment about reel.

Answer: It takes like maybe a week or two after doing the survey before they send it to you. I'm not quite sure how good it is though. I'd have to ask him since it was gifted to him with the Kast King.

Answer: No! It only has magnetic braking.

Answer: Yes this reel has magnetic braking system

Answer: Yes

What Rod would be great for this Baitcaster?

Answer: Yes you can use 15 lb mono, I actually use 40 lb braided line on my reel

Answer: Wouldn't be my choice but yes it will work. Braid to fluero leader is best

Did anybody get the fishing line free how long does it take to ship

Answer: Onve you go to the link and fill out all of the necessary things you will recieve a free spool of either 15lb or 25lb braid in the mail in about 4 days time.

Can you use flourocarbon line??

Answer: Yes! I use 12 pound line. It doesn’t matter what kind you use. I’ve had braid, mono, and fluro on this reel. This is a great baitcaster if this is your first, just have the brakes turned on high to start with.

Answer: yes I have this on mine and it works GREAT!!!

Product reviews of KastKing Brutus Baitcasting Fishing Reel, Low Profile, Graphite Frame, 6.3:1 Gear Ratio, 4+1 Shielded Stainless-Steel Ball Bearings, Magnetic Braking, Smooth Disc Drag System, Aluminum Handle.

jim : Nice reel

Smooth operation

Jarf : Noice

Have the Spartacus Plus and love it. Love this one too.

Bills : Great reel

Very smooth casting. Easy to adjust . Well worth the price.

Mike : OMG!

My whole life I’ve been fishing with spinning reels. Tride one very popular bait casting reel few years ago, got a bird's nest and returned it. This reel took me 20min. of practice and I started casting it with no problem. The onlyvproblem now: I have to by a bigger better rod.
Great product, I dint thing you'll find anything better at this price.
Tank yoy, KastKing!

Update:
Paired with a Kastking Rod - works great.

Marilyn Lindsey : KASTKING-- PROBLEMS-=-

IVE HAD 4 OF THEIR REELS-- PROBLEMS WITH ALL OF THEM-- IM THROUGH WASTING MY MONEY

Kindle Customer : Great reel

I was reluctant to buy a baitcaster as I haven't had one for over 30 years, and my memories of them weren't good. I was very pleasantly surprised, the Brutus was very easy to use and casts like a dream. Overall using it is a great experience.

Amado Trinidad : would highly recommend

kast king is amazing.

andy : Great Baitcaster!@!

Very happy with this reel. It casts very smoothly with little or no backlashes. I'm going to buy another one soon. Great value and beats my Bass Pro brand reels hands down.

Amado Trinidad : would highly recommend

kast king is amazing.

Gabriel : Great quality

Just an all around great reel, my first bait caster and boy is there a learning curve, but I’m getting the hang of it. Looks, feels, and works at a higher level of quality then the reels I have.

Richard Dinkins : My first kastking and baitcaseter reel.

I bought two reels a spinning brutus reel and this baitcaster. I haven't had a chance to fish yet with it because of the weather but it feels like a well made reel and was at a great price.

Mike : Works well for a noob

This bait caster performs well. I am a novice when it comes to bait casters and this one is easy to use and it works well for me.

Hector Rodriguez : Fell apart after 1 week of normal use.

I bought this from amazon and didnt use it after almost a month. FInally took out of the box and was happy to use it at the lake. Literally the 2nd cast, i could hear either gears or bearings rattling inside the baitcaster.

Badass Bob : Affordable baitcaster to learn on

This is my first baitcasting reel so I didn't want to spend much money on one and find out I didn't want to use it after the first few tries. Read the reviews on many reels in this price range and decided on KastKing. I picked it up to use mostly as a frog setup for bass fishing. I liked the red and black color scheme as it matches the rod I have it on. So far it has performed well considering my lack of experience. I have only done one birds nest so far which took about 15 minutes to clear. My fault as I started to reduce the drag and went a little too far that time. I am sure once I get more comfortable with using it and some more experience I will be able to cast farther and more accurately. For the money I would say this is a good value. How long it will hold up? I am not sure as I only have it a short time as of this review.

E Brilhart : Simple and efficient

This reel was exactly what I needed to replace an old reel. It's easy to use and the spool doesn't "run" like crazy when casting. I highly recommend this for those who are bait casting and don't want the hassle of intricate and sensitive reels.

Kindle Customer : Great Basic Baitcaster!

Got this reel as a "Happy Father's Day to me" present. Mounted it on a super cheap 7' 2pc MH rod, spooled it up with Trilene XL 17lb mono and tied on a 3/4oz Jig head hook with a 5" Senko. This thing rips! Got it dialed in and I'm doing no thumb casts way way out there. The first dozen or so casts were way further than I gauged based on the reel I replaced. Once I got used to the new distance I can land this thing on a dime. Love it! So worth every penny even if longevity proves to be an issue. Can't beat it for the money :)

AG : Reel

Bought one of these for my husband to try out and he loved it. Bought 3 more. Great reels for the price.

Kelli S. : Backlash

Adjustments don’t tighten down enough to prevent backlash when casting.

Gimpy 137 : Workability & value

I only crappie fish this time of year. Caught this hog on a 12” crappie before I could get crappie in boat. I’m hard on my gear and need quality that doesn’t break the bank account. 8 Lb test and light action rod made this real sporty????

aw : Great reel, unbeatable price!

Smooth casting, once you dial everything in and get the thumb control down its great! Impressive

Richard Dinkins : My first kastking and baitcaseter reel.

I bought two reels a spinning brutus reel and this baitcaster. I haven't had a chance to fish yet with it because of the weather but it feels like a well made reel and was at a great price.

Juan Soto : Unbeatable price and good quality

Great little reel simple design but strong and reliable,pleasantly impressed never expect this quality in such a good price.

MurFam12 : Great value!

A great deal for the money! Once you get the reel calibrated it does a great job for weighted bass lures. I don’t think it’ll be great for lighter lures, but it excels in fishing spinnerbaits and chatterbait.

Kindle Customer : Great reel

SHANNON : Good value.

Good value.

SHANNON : Good value.

Good value.

Teresa Olson : Smooth and really affordable

I really like the price of this reel nd the size fits in my hand really good.I have lots of reels in this gear ratio but I think you cant ever have enough fishing gear. Its smooth easy to open to see the spool magnets and it will match all my other reels with the black and red colors.

DES : Very smooth

Very smooth reel and light weight as advertised. I had a middle of the rode rod and I wanted a quality reel, but didn't want to pay 4 x more than the rod cost. Kids use it, but I have started to as well, when we are all on the boat. Smooth, good drag from your basic bass fishing and adjusts nicely to prevent back lashes. Worth the money. Good price, solid reel. Can't go wrong.

JB Broaddus : My First KastKing

I just got this reel in but so far I'm impressed. The reel is extremely compact and for the sale price, you can't beat the quality. I wish it had dual braking and if it weren't on sale I would have gone with the Royale Legend that does offer dual braking but his fit my need in the 6:3:1 category.

This is my first KastKing reel and its quality is comparable to my BPS I have currently that I paid triple the price for. I'm excited to get some line on it and give it a real-world test but so far I don't think there is anything better at the price point.

Patrick H. : Factory defects out of the box.

Update: This reel isn't great at all the spool release pops back up for no reason mid cast I assumed it was me but after letting a buddy use it for a bit it happens to him also and all he uses is baitcasters. I've used it 3 times and I had the same issue everytime.

Seems to be a great reel, it cast great so far. It seems to be a decent value for the price.

Dis. Vet : Great reel for price

Own a lot of top baitcast reels and bought this one for my kids to learn and practice surprised on the quality and durability going to buy more for all my kids

Aaron : Superb reel!!

I waited a while before I wrote a review, and I have nothing but good things to say about this reel!!
My plan was to buy a cheap baitcaster and see how I like it before dropping money on a pricey one. Someday I may buy another reel, but not for long. This reel is awesome!!
You do need to practice if you’ve never used a baitcaster. I spent some time in a parking lot casting and casting. Then untangling a birds nest, then casting again. It does take some skill to use this type of reel, but when you get it down, it is so nice! I’ve never been able to place a cast like I can with this reel.
I like this brand so much I bought a KastKing spinner too, but I hardly use it! Lol
This was starting off to see if I wanted to change my reel, now this KastKing baitcaster is my first choice when I go fishing.
Pair this baitcaster and my Berkeley rod, and using a H&H double spinner, I almost feel bad for the bass in my area... almost.

R.D. : Quality reel. Affordable price!

For starters, I was a little hesitant purchasing a reel off of Amazon. I usually like to see what I'm getting in person when it comes to my rods/reels. For the price, I just couldn't say no and...I am so happy I did! I figured I would be getting a cheap, disposable reel but I couldn't have been more wrong! It has such a solid feel and smooth retrieve. It honestly feels like the reels that are 5-6+ times the price.

Brandon B. : Looks really nice and feels good

It my son Christmas present but I took it out and way spinning it and checking it out and it really nice it would be my 2nd one from Kastking not a better deal out there...

rick tavares : Looks great, can’t wait to try

This is just my initial review after unboxing and comparing to my many different abu and quantum reels:

The reel came packaged really nice, you can tell KastKing has put a lot of effort and money into marketing and their products. The reel itself looks great and is very smooth, the drag adjustments, brake, and tension knob all operate as they should. The finish of the product is very well done and my reel did not have any dings or damage whatsoever. This is just the first of many KastKing reels I will buy as I have purchased and used a lot of their braided line and have not had a single issue as of yet.

Ash : A gift

He loved it

Brian : Great Value

I wasn't expecting much for $32, but this reel is just as good as reels that I own that cost almost twice as much.

SHANNON : Good value.

Good value.

Good ol' boy 1776 : Really good for the price.

Good reel for the price. Nice for beginners to intermediate anglers.

Kindle Customer : Great reel

Amazon Customer : Solid product, easy to setup.

Never used a bait caster and wanted to start but didn’t want to waste money on a fling that would lead me back into the arms of my traditional spinning reel. This product is very easy to set, visually appealing and seems durable. I’ll be testing it out on bass and some light inshore salt water fishing.

Gimpy 137 : Workability & value

Vern W. : The Brutus at this price point is a no-brainer

I love kastking baitcast reels I'm mainly a bass fisherman and they are absolutely wonderful high quality cast very well I have three other kastking reels all are absolutely wonderful highly recommended top quality product

Teresa Olson : Smooth and really affordable

Brian : Great Value

I wasn't expecting much for $32, but this reel is just as good as reels that I own that cost almost twice as much.

RA : Smooth fast reel, easy to use for beginners.

This reel is awesome, this is my first baitcaster. I’ve used spinning reels for most of yrs I have fished. It is a learning curve though, but on my first time goin fishing with it I had a lot of good casts and the only time it backlashed was when I didn’t use my thumb consistently throughout the cast. I even casted quite a few times 30 yards or so and got it into some tight spaces under tree branches. This reel has good brakes an you definitely can fine tune this enough to go from a beginner to an experienced angler. I own quite a bit of stuff by kastking and they have good quality products for the price. This reel is no different, whether your new to baitcasters or experienced you should definitely buy one of these.

Matt : This thing was only $33!?

Wow! I was not expecting a reel of this quality for $33! very well built, solid reel. Cast super far, and very smooth. 3 adjustable brakes to dial in your lure weight. You normally only see these kind of adjustments on higher end reels. I cant believe this only cost $33!! Best bang for your back that I can think of for bait casting reels!

rick tavares : Looks great, can’t wait to try

Amado Trinidad : would highly recommend

kast king is amazing.

RatingMan : Kastking reels, what more can you ask for?

Kastking reels have always felt well-made and given me a reliable and excellent performance. I got this just in time for the spring time spawn and I hope to get the most use out of this with the big fish!
