I went fishing with my sharky 3 baitfeeder and my Daiwa BG in a lake. I was wade fishing with the reels both reels got dunked in the lake. The Daiwa started to make a noise coming out of the roller bail bearing. Meanwhile the sharky 3 kept it's smoothness. I had to open the Daiwa and greased it again back to normal. I am very impressed with my sharky 3 baitfeeder. Thanks for the video.
I have purchased and used several Kastking rods and reels! I have been totally satisfied with my purchases! Heck, I learned how to fish with a bait caster reel on a Kastking!!! Their videos are crazy good!! I am a retired disabled veteran and I fish often and I absolutely love the affordable dependability of Kastking products, including the braided line! ❤️🤗
My first baitcaster, and my main reel is the same reel, a Kastking Royale Legend. I have had it 2 or 3 years now, and it works like it did the day I got it. I will be adding a couple more reels soon, hopefully, and those will be Kastking as well.
Excellent video Brian. I think a lot of people have concerns about switching from a big name reel or rod manufacture and taking a chance on a company that they aren’t familiar with. I would say a full time salt water guide’s opinion and experience lend a ton of credibility to the KastKing brand. When you couple that with the affordability of the gear, it makes the switch a whole lot easier.
I’ve had a snarky 3 4000 for 2 years it’s been in the rain and snow and it’s still has had absolutely no issues what so ever I’ve even pulled in a 39” striper on it and it’s a beast. I just got a 6000 bait runner that I cannot wait to use I was definitely back you up by saying they are THE BEST bang for your buck reels on the market period
I was flounder fishing and caught a Sharky 3 combo off the bottom of the bay I Fish the reel had no corrosion and I took it home cleaned the inside put some oil and grease and 2 years later it still feels brand new these reels are the real deal
When you hear a commercial captain rating daily heavily abused rental gear you should really pay attention, great informative video, thank you for sharing.
I bought. Kastking 6000 Baitrunner. The drag knob from the get go didn’t tighten down. I complained to Kastking directly. They offered me a 5% discount. They asked me to force the spool off. I did this and could not see any damage to male and female threads. Obviously a manufacturing tolerance issue. They told me spares were not available. In the end they gave my money back. I am really disappointed as I bough it based on your recommendation. The 6000 is not available on line now. So product variation is obviously an issue.
Grate to see a company come along and give the big guys a wake up call. I remember the old penn's my god they were tough old school but bulletproof! the new ones are just disappointing
@KastKing you would make a killing selling these and the non baitfeeder version in the UK market. There's a big freshwater fishing scene here and the baitfeeder could be used for Pike, Barbel and Carp fishing. The non baitfeeder could be used for feeder fishing. You really should open up a UK website, you'd make lots of money over here :)
Mine lasted 3 weeks. After 15 freshwater drum ranging from 3 pounds to 15 pounds it started winding with resistance. I found 3 of the six gear lugs on the handle sheared off. I called Kastking and was told it was a common issue. The rep said he owned 3 of them and they all did the same thing. I was told this bait feeder is about at the end of its run. He told me it was a weak design and anything other than pond catfish that roll and this reel will brake in the same spot every time.
I have a Gx2 medium rod equip with a KastKing sharky baitfeeder 4000 reel and it WORKS GREAT TOGETHER ! . I can't believe how strong the ugly stick is ! Plus that reel ! I've caught fishes bigger then my pitbull !!
@@KastKing Would you say the 4000 reel is big enough to handle bull reds and small sharks? Im new to saltwater fishing so Im not sure. I would like to use as light as possible but still get the job done if that makes any sense :)
I don't get to fish much these days, but my KastKing gear is so dependable there are no worries when I grab the rods and reels to get out on the kayak.
CAN YOU MAKE A COMPARISON REVIEW WITH KastKing Sharky III Baitfeeder AND THE KastKing Sharky III INNOVATIVE, WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES AND WHICH IS BETTER IN TERMS OF SHORELINE CASTING AND LIGHT JIGGING? THNX
Is that Megatron a Baitfeeder Sharky 3?? You Might Like The Sharky 3 6000 series, due to Great Price, BUT..... What is really nice, With any Baitfeeder , is the Rear Lever. You never have to Flip the Bail over to pull line to yourself, to tie on another hook or Leader. That feature alone makes them Worth it. Note: Line Rollers on Reels can be upgraded if you want ; such as Titanium Nitride , or I believe Ceramic Rollers. Research is Needed.
Good video, like yours sunglasses... Haven't used the kastking's reel yet but using the kastking braid. Your video forced me to think about sharky lll. Again....
My brand new sharky 111 bait feeder sure doesn’t spin freely like your does. They must have packed it with to much grease. It also makes noise when winding….not a quiet reel by any means. I’m sure it will get the job done for $34
Hi Tripplebeards, you can contact customer service by email: service@kastking.com or call 1-855-830-7430 ext 1001, I'm sure they will help you with this problem.
The only competition Kastking really has is Piscifun. Very hard to beat the quality without even speaking about price of both brands. Never had either fail or fall apart.
Sadly No costumer service, or any service from Kastking on AliExpress. The seller from the AliExpress warehouse in France just made the prices go up with 30%. On messages they don't response. I hope that Kastking did something about there staff. Cuzz many people are complaining about it. Be aware!
Dude you said, and i quote “this reel is two years old commercially used and it still spins like the day I bought it”…… Dude, properly service ALL your reels very regularly especially given the fact that you fish 7 days a week and every brand you mentioned (ok maybe not the Shakespeare) will last you and perform every time! Enough said.
@@KastKing my only question is I ordered the biggest heavy action spinning catfish rod you offer, and the reel doesn't seat well. It's not big enough. Would have liked to have known that prior.
Now that's an honest to goodness test. Nothing goes through more abuse than a charter reel. Great vid!
No doubt about it. Thank you

I have had my sharky baitfeeders literally since they came out! They're working fine!
Same! I have the first generation and I'm still pulling in lunkers with them🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s so awesome!

Good review. I have recently became a KastKing man. They are a fabulous catfishermans reel.
What is the best size for catfishing?
If there's anyone out there that uses and abuses equipment enough to prove their Longevity, its you Captain!
Yes sir💪💪💪 Thank you!

Thank you kindly for the support
Great video captain Boxx👍👍

I'm trying to choose between the Sharky 3 and Megatron, 6000 size. It'll go on a 12 foot rod and used mostly for surf. Any advice?
Is that Megatron a Baitfeeder Sharky 3??

Think about buying a couple of these for my dad he does surf casting with a 12 rod down near you witch model you think would be best
Kastking Make Great Reels Top 3' Brand For Fishing
I got kastking Lancelot n kastking baitfeeder shark 3 n i think is quiet good
I hope it last longer than the Rover 60 first time takeing it out and on the second cast the click fell out of it and I bought two of them
A buddy of mine bought two sharky III 5000 reels, and they both broke. 1st one after a 60lb blue cat.
Thanks for the info!!
So happy it can help
What does the lever in the back do
Kastking braid is quality. I use the 80lb and it stands up to some abuse. I use the kastking mega 8.
Thanks for the feedback, info😀
Good video, like yours sunglasses... Haven't used the kastking's reel yet but using the kastking braid. Your video forced me to think about sharky lll. Again....
Thanks for watching
You will NOT be disappointed
Sunglasses are the Kastking Iditarod with blue mirror saltwater coating
So when are these back in Stock? Or are you guys coming out with a new reel soon? Would really like the try the bait feeder here in Hawaii!
Hi there. They should be back soon.
💯

Anybody know the best heavy fast action 2 piece spinning rod 7 foot or smaller kast king sells..looking to buy. Thanks ..

That reel is great except the frame is made out of plastic. My 5000 frame snapped when I bumped it on a hand rail
Hi there. Sorry you had issues. Maybe you can contact our customer service
Best customer service in the industry. Give them a call.
Just a random question, are there any plans to build a 4th generation sharky?
Hmmmm maybe 🤔
@@KastKing oh i'll definitely take that as a yes lol

Hi Jonathan, you can contact customer service by email: service@kastking.com or call 1-855-830-7430 ext 1001.
Is it ok if i use baitfeeder for jigging?
Hi there. Yes it’s ok to use
Lasted about 2 minutes with me. That's how long it took me to realize this reel is a pos!!! Body flexes like a yoga guru!
Any chance kastking can make upf clothes and accessories that dont make it look like your trying to be camouflaged in a fish tank?
Hi there. We have some awesome apparel and more to come
Dude you said, and i quote “this reel is two years old commercially used and it still spins like the day I bought it”…… Dude, properly service ALL your reels very regularly especially given the fact that you fish 7 days a week and every brand you mentioned (ok maybe not the Shakespeare) will last you and perform every time!

All reels will last a reasonable time, for what they are, if looked after properly!

Hi bro I am India Karnataka state Bangalore I like casting brand I like new series by trainer rail
Why do you call the non-baitfeeder reels 'baitfeeders'? I've just ordered a couple of actual baitfeeders but the reel shown here is not one.
Hi there. Thank you for watching
Moral of this story is this guy doesn’t take care of his reels!
Hi there. Thanks for watching
Yes sir
That's why I rely on gear that takes care of me instead.
To bad the 6000 is out of stock every where.
Sorry 😐
Any ideas on when it might be back.
I bought one last year and it broke the next week.. SMH I'll pass on this POS COMPANY
