KastKingCrixus Baitcasting Reels, 6.5:1/7.2:1 Gear Ratio Fishing Reels, 17.6lbs Carbon Disc Drag, Super Polymer Grips,Carbon Infused Nylon Frame,8-pc Magnetic Brake, Low Profile Reel.

This reel is buttery smooth, casts way out into the water, feels stout and looks awesome too. For the money, you can't go wrong. I've bought 2 because I loved them so much. I always struggled to find the "sweet spot" on adjusting a baitcasting reel but this Crixus reel is super easy to dial in. Drag feels strong on it. Braking system feels great on it also. I've threw a couple birds nests with it but nothing insane. They were easily picked out and I was back to fishing fast. Once you get your thumbing rhythm down with it, you won't throw birds nests. It's super easy to use and cast with as long as you practice some with it. This reel made me fall in love with baitcasting reels and feel more confident as a fisherman. It's just fun to fish with and I love that. Having fun with great equipment and out enjoying life amongst nature. Nothing better. Totally worth every penny. Thank you KastKing.

Die Rolle ist richtig gut für barsch und Zander macht richtig Spaß damit zu angeln und preis Leistung ist super

I love the KK crixus. I now own 3 of them. I have higher name brand reels that cost 3x as much and these perform just as well across the board. Only test now is to see how long they hold up. Absolutley cant beat them for under $60. They cast far and retrieve smooth and do well bringing in nice bass. For the price I dont think anyone that uses casting reels would be disappointed but you cant please everyone. As fast as for beginners , you have to practice and have it set up and adjusted properly and you will be fine. I taught my 7 year old how to cast one in the front yard in about 20 min now he goes out and practices a couple times a week in the front yard with a senko on it and casts as good as me. The accuracy of casting will come with time.Ok update I had 4 KK crixus bc reels 2 white ones 6.1 ratio amd 2 black ones 7.1 ratio and now I’m down to 1 of each because the other 2 failed and crapped out. If you fish at least once a week year round as I do then spend a little more and buy you a quality reel. If you only fish spring n summer they will last you several years but they will eventually fail. They work great and smooth casting and retrieving until they don’t.

First off I'd like to say that Kastking did an amazing job on this reel. It is a very nice, smooth, cheap but durable, and reliable reel. One my first time out with it I paired it with 30lb braid and on my first cast, I got a backlash. I was kind of confused because I had set my tension control knob to the correct position but was still getting a bird's nest. I unscrewed the tension control knob, cleaned out the gears, and put it back on. For the rest of the day, the reel worked amazingly! If you seem to have this problem, or any other problem with your tension control knob just try unscrewing it and then screwing it on again, should solve your problem. Overall this is an amazing reel and I will definitely be buying more KastKing products, again well done KastKing.

As an experienced angler, I can say with confidence that this reel is certainly worth the money and in my opinion a steal. I’ve had it for a few months now and fished it heavily, and it has gone above and beyond my hopes in terms of performance. I chose the glacier white reel and paired with the KastKing Crixus rod it looks as well as it fishes. Not just blowing smoke here, if you’re looking for an honest opinion; here it is. I’ve tried several budget reels, and trust me you don’t want a cheap made reel from a company you can’t even pronounce, they fall apart if they work right to begin with. This reel casts like a dream, better than a lot of my more expensive setups and it’s smooth on the way out and the way in. Drag has been smooth with no slipping. Adjusts great to get it tuned just right to put your bait where you want it, spool tensioner knob clicks when adjusted so you can judge exactly the amount you’re loosing/tightening the spool. Pretty much has impressed me in all aspects of a reel this affordable so far. If you take care of this reel I don’t see how you won’t be satisfied with its performance.
