KastKing Megatron 100&200 Baitcasting Reels, Low Profile, High Capacity | Max Drag: 28.6 lb, 7+1 BB, 6.9 oz, Graphite Frame, CNC Aluminum Spool, 8-Button Magnetic Brakes, 3A Cork Handles

These Megatron 200 reels are very good, high quality reels at a very reasonable price. I own 2 now, and have a third in my cart! I really appreciate the single black color and cork knobs. They match up well with my Fenwick HMX casting rods. They are lightweight, smooth, user friendly, and problem-free. Both of mine sling great distances without backlash. The star drag, tension knob, and brake dial all provide audible and tactile clicks. They are really easy to dial in, whether throwing a half ounce spinner or 3-4 ounces of spawn sac, sinker, and float....as I mentioned, they are very user friendly. The drag system has a wide range and very powerful top end capable of stopping big fish. I have one loaded with approximately 110 yards of 80 lb. Power Pro braid, which successfully battled 3 King salmon this summer in rivers, with the other loaded up with 30 lb. Kastking Extremus braid which will be going after Kenai River coho salmon in a couple weeks.I can't speak for long-term durability yet, but I also own/use a few Kastking Royale Legend II 200-series bait cast reels which have been problem-free for 3 seasons. These Megatron 200 reels are the real deal, and from a functionality perspective, are the equals of my Lew's and Abu Garcia bait casters!

Only used it once but it worked well, didn't take long to adjust to avoid backlash. Brought in heavy lures, musky sized, without issue, has a lot of torque based on larger size. Great price for this sized reel but time will tell on durability.

I just rec'd this real and it is really nice. So far I have only set it up and thrown it around my yard some. The spool has a larger line capacity than my other casting reals, it was easy to dial in, and it casts pretty smoothly. I have several freshwater casting reels, but I wanted a casting setup for inshore saltwater & brackish water fishing. Trying to find a saltwater capable baitcasting reel in left hand (I am a righty who uses a left handed baitcaster, because it just makes more sense) crank is not easy. This reel (per KastKing's website) is rated for saltwater & freshwater and has 28.6lb drag; which is quite strong for baitcasting reel. The price was pretty good since I caught it on a little sale. If this reel proves to be durable and long lasting, I'll come upgrade my rating to five stars.

Light weight, great drag and easy to setup. As far as baitcasters go setting really was a cinch. So far 300 + casts in and only nested once. Pulled in an 18 pound catfish on a mh rod and the reel didn't struggle at all

Very nice bait caster, it is a little big, but it’s well worth it, very smooth, I tested it out pretty rough trying to see if it would bird nest on me by casting hard, but it didn’t birds nest once, it’s also very quiet, first day messing around and testing it, I hooked up on a 30 inch halibut, was a fighter but didn’t stand a chance against this reel, definitely would recommend, but like I said it is a little big so if you’re looking for a small one get the 100

Great reel caught a bass with it using a glide bait and held up great. Pretty smooth casting and is definitely worth it.

In case you were wondering if this would catch Coho salmon in the Kenai river the answer is yes. It will unequivocally test the drag and your 50 pound braided line to the limit. Most importantly, it won't drag your pocketbook to no end, which was dragged the whole way getting to Alaska to fish in the first place. Additionally, I wanted to be the outcast fishing with a bait-cast not a spinning reel. If you get this for the trip, rather than the KastKing Kapstan Elite Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel, you'll be a loner amongst thousands who instantly know you came from Texas, perhaps it was the hat or the fishing shirt that gave me away, but you'll have a hundred dollars in your pocket. God bless and safe travels.

Seems like a decent reel for the money. It does have more plastic and composite parts in it than I would like to see at this price point. The handle, main frame, drive gears, drag star, some drag components, bearings, level worm gear, cross pins and spool are metal. The bearings are smooth running and look good. The spool tensioner has audible clicks. The finish has sparkling metal flakes and seems like it will be durable. The spool casting release bar is plastic or composite, not sure. The side cover with the magnetic brakes has a simple to operate release button. There is a little rubber flip open port for greasing the primary drive gear. It has drainage ports too. This only has a magnetic brake system and does not have an audible click ratchet. If an optional audible clicker and also centrifugal brakes were added this reel would be the do everything reel. However, in it's current version it is still pretty capable. I loaded it with KastKing 40 pound camo braid, which will be over kill for the 35 pound Tiger Muskie we have here in WA, but I rather winch them in, than lose expensive musky baits.

Great reel
