KastKing Centron & Centron Lite Spinning Fishing Reels, Collapsible Handle

My new KastKing fishing reel has completely exceeded my expectations. The drag is super smooth, the retrieval feels effortless, and the overall build quality is impressive for the price. It handles bigger fish with no problem and performs just as well as reels that cost twice as much. Lightweight, durable, and comfortable to use all day—this reel has quickly become my go-to setup. If you want performance and value in one package, KastKing is the way to go. Highly recommend!

I've been fishing for close to 50 years. I've fished for bass, bream, catfish, crappie, redfish, sheeps head, speckled trout, sharks, crevalle jack, African pompano, tarpon, snook and a few others. I have had spinning, baitcast and fly rigs and everything from the cheapest thing that a poor kid could get his hands on to some fine Penn, Diawa, Quantum, Orvis and Shimano reels. As far as spinning reels, this thing, right out of the box, feels like a really high end reel. It feels so smooth and balanced, the fit and finish is excellent! I've been looking at the Kastking brand for a while now but not really willing to "take a chance" on some Chinese brand. Then I realized that almost all the top brands are made there anyway, and the 500 was only $23 so I ordered it. I also love the direct sales model. I get as many things as I can from companies that sell that way, you aren't paying a middle man and everything I get has better quality and performance per dollar than their competitors.......I think Kastking is the same way. Now, I haven't had the time to spool the reel up yet but I live on a lake so it won't be long before I get some line on it and go for some blue gills off the dock. When I get some time in on the reel I'll check back in and edit this review accordingly. As for now, it looks like this was a great purchase and there will be some baitcasters from Kastking in my very near future! **update** After fishing this reel a half dozen times I have a more complete review. I have caught a number of bluegill and red-ear bream as well as a few small bass. It has been a fantastic reel. It has met the expectations I had, this reel is worth twice what it costs and then some. It fits the need for a ultralight reel for out on our lake as well as being tucked into my pack for mountain stream trout fishing! If you're on the fence about the KastKing brand, I would not hesitate any longer! Just order one, go, do it now.

The only review you need to read. This is for freshwater review. NOT FOR SALTWATER!!! These are amazing reels for the price. For anyone who is starting out or is avid fishermen. I been using these 4 to 5 times a week on the biggest lake in PNW. I fish Lake Washington. With 30 different types of fish. And different sizes and weight. With great success. I currently own 3 of these Piscifun Flame reels. On 3 different setups, from pan fish to large mouth and cat fish. My setups are all less then $60 including the line I put on the reel. I I get the smooth cast everytime. From my 5" to 7" pole. Using all size lures and just to a split shot and bober set up for some panfish. You wont be disappointed in this reel. This isn't your cheap plastic walmart reel or reel and combo, you get at walmart. This reel does compete with the Penn or even other high end reels. But for a more affordable price tag. I have mine for a year now. And still cast smooth like day one. I don't keep up with the oiling and other maintenance, becuase I wanted to see how long it will last with neglect, also less $30 I can buy a new one if needed to be. So far over a year of use. And still going strong. I will recommend this to any fresh water fisherman or fisherman. It's a great reel for the beginner or the advance. Would I use this for a bass competition, probably. Lol. So here my setup for pan fish and basic bass fishing. If you are new to fishing or just wanting a nice cheap freshwater setup. Panfish - Bluegill,sunfish, pumpkin seeds, perch, white or black crappie, etc. I use a shakespeare micro series rod. This is my 5" rod. Ultra light. Great to feel even the smallest bites. Around $20 on amazon. Bigger fish - Trout, Bass, Walleye, etc. Berkley Cherry Wood HD This is a full wood rod. Coming in around 6'6 and also a 7" rod. Medium/heavy. Now before you say why would you want a Medium/heavy for trout or even walleye. This has a tip of a light rod (meaning you can fill small bites), but the back bone of a heavy rod. I pulled 13lbs fish in on 8lbs test thanks to this rod. This is like the name says. Made of cherry wood, so the tip is easily breakable. But wont break from weight of bigger fish. It's great rod. I been using them for 15+ years now. And own multiple sizes. Around $20 on amazon. I use berkely invisible line on all my reels. Just personal choice.

Excellent lightweight spinning reel, smooth and rugged… great price

Small lightweight and perfect for the fishing I do

I have had this reel for over a month now. I have been using 10 pound mono on it and its worked fantastic! It casts beautifully and reels in very smoothly. The drag works quite well when getting caught up on snags. Its also nice to have the reverse switch on the bottom when needed. I have this reel on a light action rod for catching smaller fish. When I have got a bigger one, it feels like its a monster! I am very happy with this purchase.

Works as well as my previous $100 reel which gave up after a year of mixed fresh and salt water use. If I get even a single season out of this I'm ahead. Smooth action, easy to use, no notes.

I was looking for a good reel that I could camping but not a big one so it would fit. This fit what I wanted. I never had a KastKing before so I was skeptical. It was small enough, smooth casting, handled nicely, looked good, and had all of the add ons that you would need. Well, it worked on the trip and the price was good. For camping and especially for beginners this is a good reel. I would recommend this.

Costo calidad, excelente, ya hasta saco lobinas con jig finess

Superb Reel for the Money. Good strong/solid Clutch. Ideal for lure fishing UK. Very light.

Es un poco más grande de lo que esperaba, pero adecuado para lo que lo necesitaba que era pesca ultraligera. Buenas calidad en sus componentes.

Excelente molinete pelo custo benefício. Foi alem da minha expectativa muito suave
