For anyone who was born yesterday, always, ALWAYS check the description of these videos before considering the information. Case in point (and you see this a lot nowadays), there’s a link here with a coupon for the kast king reel which means that even if it isn’t directly sponsored, the poster is only going to benefit from you buying one of these reels. I don’t care who it is or how honest they are, it’s not a review or an instructional, it’s an infomercial....period. No matter how you try to jive it off...trust me, I’ve done them before. Only consider comparisons in videos who have nothing to gain or lose from the information they’re presenting you.
Dan Ray Yup, there it is. I don’t mind people hawking their stuff. I don’t mind commercials or whatever, it’s fine. But when it’s framed as an objective comparison, that bothers me. Especially when people start talking about things like “ball bearings counts = smoothness” and all that noise.
I'm a shimano guy as well. However I do own some KK. Here's my take on this. When you compare these(KK) to your typical $40-$50 reels out there, there is NO comparison. It's a no brainer on which reel to choose. I can't sit here and say either one is bad bc I've had no issues with the KK. these reels are perfect for your budget friendly fisherman looking to start adding 4-5 more reels to there arsenal. Either way you can't go wrong. (And in no way am I being payed or anything to say one thing or another)
Same here been using Shimano for almost 30 years it's been my favorite fishing reel brand hands down I'm just tired of paying the price for them! A few years back I purchased a couple of Okuma spinning reels for like 35 bucks each because I love the way they looked and heard nothing but good things about them 5 years of hard use later I gave them away to a teenage kid still in perfect working condition! I had never even oiled then that's when I realized China is not making Just Junk anymore! I now own 3 cast Kings the stealth the white Max and Royal Legend Elite red so far I'm totally happy with them. I guess what I'm saying is... we'll see you around Shimano...?
My only problem with this review is you just pulled the kast king reel out of the box and compared it just by what the kast king has on paper. And that’s not nearly as important as taking it on the water and testing it and putting it through it’s paces
People posting negative opinions about kastking being junk, if you dont own both reels or haven't atleast tried the kastking reel to see if it is junk then you have no say in this so just shut your pie hole until you have proof, and yes I own both and there is nothing wrong with any of the kastking reels I own and I'm not an affiliate just someone that likes to fish and sometimes on a budget.
It not the number of bearings that matter but where they are in the reel. The casitis has three quality bearings in the axle of the spool which give it a ridiculously long free spool. Six bearings in the handle doesn't help with casting. Also the dial is designed in such a way as to make it hard to accidentally change the setting as their are no hard stops on the dial to allow for the infinity adjustment, and the drag star is graphite. Also the drag disks are basically the same as with most decent reels, their both carbon drags.
exactly. BUT these reels are for newbies who don't know much. The Casitas will be around in 10yrs. The Kast King will be in the trash for about 8yrs before that.
you guys remind me of those audiophiles who think $1000 speaker cables make their stereos sound better you can go ahead and pay all that money for reels if you want to but the fact is unless your a pro bass fisherman you dont need high end reels.personaly i would get this kastking and spend a little more on a better rod.
Im a fan of both name brands, in fact I have both reels as well. LOVE THEM!! But got to be honest by my own experience and say that the Spartacus became my favorite one, the Cork handle knobs are incredibly comfortable and The handle is 94mm versus 90mm for the Casitas, big difference for me. Paid almost $100 for the Casitas and paid....wait for it.... only $34.49 for the Spartacus, that’s a ridiculous price for such great reel. Great Video and also great comparison between them. Tight Lines!!
The way I look at it is, from my experience and from what I have seen/heard, KK products are worth way more than they actually cost. Their spinning reels are actually insane for what they cost. In my opinion, KK is a brand of the future. Huge fan. However, I've never had a better bait-caster than my Shimano CuradoHG. It's all a matter of opinion. Both great reels, but I've got my money on Shimano when it comes to bait-casters.
Comparing new reels is easy. Try to honestly compare just after 6 months - all those "11bb. sealed etc." bs will show up in form of broken drags, extra noise etc. My 20yo Shimano baitrunner 4500 is still working well, and all cheap reels I bought at the same time are long, long gone! KatKing reel brand is famous for fast deterioration of their products - that's the hard fact.
Have both reels. Casitas is much better tbh. Just actually bought the kast king today and took both of them out. The kast king is much heavier and wasn’t as comfortable as the casitas. But for 40 bucks it’s definitely worth it. Took me a while to finally adjust it to cast it without bird nest unlike the casitas only two to three cast and I had it set up and ready already.
I used to be a big fan of shimano, but after discovering Kastking.... I am a diehard fan of kastking. Since I have owned them, they have preformed quite well for me.
how more bearings will make reel cast farther? all baitcasting reel spools sit on 2 bearings, some of them have third one on spool which its kinda a necessary and dont make any big diffirence. and why u didint mention that casitas have lighter spool that is huge when casting far and light lures btw casitas will last u very long with proper care how bout kastking?
Bro thanks for making a review on the kastking spartacus plus, after seen your video I ordered one and it's an awesome and a smooth reel. Keep up with those videos.
I literally had to choose between these two. I’m a shimano guy but after this I guess I’m a shimano/kastking guy. Think I made the right pick and saved 50 bucks! Great review!
Bro i got nothing against kastking i owned one kastking reel i can tell you right now that shimano casitas is way better way smoother cast better the whole 9 yrds an everyone knows that by the way i own a casitas also you must be sponsored by kast king there is no way you are gonna sit there an say kast king is better shimano kills kastking
Andrew Wolf actually man I’ve set my brakes at 2 on and never changed them on these high end shimano reels you just set the brakes and forget about it to change the burst nest or fast I just use the tuning knob and have no problem
The arguments in this comment section is like reading about who has the better boat comments on many fishing blogs. My Lund is the best, your Alumacraft sucks. My Lowe is better than your Tracker, my Tracker is better than your G5 etc etc etc. Hey, if it works for someone great. Their opinion is as good as anyone else's. I have 30 yr old Shimanio Bantams, Lews Speedspools, Mitchell 500's and they are great reels but the internals are more complicated than the modern reels. I also have 3 Kast King baitcasters, 2 Royal Legends, and a Spartacus. They, again in my opinion, are very nice reels for the price. I just retired my Shimano Bantam classic limited edition and replaced it with a Royal Legend. It started to have issues since its about 40 yrs old. The internals, again, are much more complicated than the newer KK reels. Nothing bad to say about the Shimano that now sits in a place of honor in the den, but I also have nothing bad to say about the KK reel that replaced it. I hit the water a lot and the reels get a good workout thru the year and right now the KK reels are getting most of the use. Much lighter and they are smooth but time will tell. Will they last 30/40 years? Don't know and I'm most likely not gonna be around that long but for now I'm happy with my choice. As a side note, my Alumacraft is better than your boat!
Can you start doing some bass pro and Johnny Morris testing too , I’ve never owned any but always thought about it since the old ones are made by Daiwa and Quantum and the new ones are made by Lews
I’ve used mine on the salt! I recommend one this. Re lube all bearings. Take the tensioning know off out a drop in there. Take the side plate off and put a drop in the side plate bearing. And one more in the bearing that come in contact with the spool arm on the opposite side of the side plate. I did that just because I feel like all reels out of the factory don’t always get greased the best. So I do that to be safe especially on the salt!
While I do agree with the user friendly part of the Spartacus braking system. The SVS Infinity found is most Shimano's is one of, if not the best braking system made.
I agree, the Shimano breaking system is tried and true. It's been around for a while. I still have a 20 yr old Curado that's just as smooth as the day I bought it. He shouldn't down the Shimano system at all just because he doesn't know how to use it. I just tried a KastKing Spartacus this week. It's not even close to any Shimano I've had. Maybe he should learn a bit more before trying to put up a fair reel review and comparison.
If you're a 15y old or an adult that fishes 10 times a year, KastKing and all the other noname companies are fine. If you're not a casual scrub, stick to daiwa/shimano.
I have 8 baitcasting combo wuith different reels abue Garcia revo so 4 have lews mach 1 mach 2 mach crush i have abue Garcia combo never have a kast king reels iam abut to get one
I personally own both of these reels and performance in the field hands-down the casitas wins much longer smoother casting and better overall preformance. CEO Kirby's custom lures.
Daniel Lopez - pretty sure Cutone has his reason for saying what his preference is.. I don’t think that makes him a “cheap ass” To each his own.. buying top of the line stuff doesn’t catch you fish bud.. didn’t your mom ever tell you if don’t have anything nice to say to not say anything at all? Your attempt at sounding big was kinda cute
Let us know what's inside! What's the drag stack made out of. I've seen kastking boast some pretty big numbers when it comes to drag. Love to see how it's accomplished! Is it a dual supported pinion? What material is the gear made out of. Thought I seen them advertise some type of micro gear teeth is that true?
I own a couple KK reels and I like them. But in no way would I ever say they were better than or equal to my Shimano reels. I own the KK Spartacus not the plus. Its done its job and still holding up. I also have the KK Mela spinning reel. I had a KK Stealth but it got stolen. KK makes good inexpensive reels. They are especially good for people trying a bait caster for the first time. Just stay away from the Stealth I think you need to have more advanced skills in bait casting to not get birds nest. Reel is fast and has a super light spool. So you have to dial it in to get the best performance out of it. The Stealth is my favorite of the bunch. So for Budget conscious anglers you cant beat KASTKING.
My kast king start getting noise after 4 months of light use. No matter how I add oil on it. I wish I didn't spent that $45 on kast king because of there are thousands of reviews from amazon, and purchased a $145 Shimano only have hundreds of reviews from Amazon from the beginning.
KK is a great reel brand but there’s no way one of those could hold up to a hard day of jetty fishing. If your an amateur or don’t fish that much, cast king is the way to go. If your fishing weekly and need a reel that will stand up to saltwater and last a life time, spend the extra money on Shimano
good morning and thank you for video! I come I am French and I love the peach. Your video is great and very interesting. je takes out a subscription for me. Warmly, Alain.
The myth about ball bearings still gets spread around. AlthoughI agree putting bearings in handles gives you the feeling of smoothness. However, quality bearings and less I’ll take everyday. See Shimano and Daiwa. I also found it interesting how you say the casting is better without using it on water. I’m all for objectivity but this video was not even close.
No doubt kastking is a cheaper buy for the quality you get but it’s hard to beat shimano. I have both and don’t see it outlasting shimano. Granted I fish mostly saltwater.
Mike Dobijanski I also fish with kast king and shimano I have the kastking speed demon and it's a beast fishing for them big specks in the surf or in the sound I have had zero problems with my kast king reels BUT!!!! I have with my shimano curado and bantam the salt seems to eat on them more and I by all means clean my reels after every use I have replaced my bearings with better ones in my curado but not one time in my kast king speed demon even the distance of the cast is better than what I can get out of my shimano 😒
Go look at the dudes vids so much kastking stuff. He uses kastking stuff only so what do you expect him to say. Why don't you talk about what is it made out of instead of this and that
I haven’t had that problem yet. How big of a lure are we talking? I’ve thrown 1/2 ounce and even 1 once lures with the Spartacus and haven’t had that happen yet.
*I liked how smooth the reel spins with the 12 bearing system it is like butter. **allabout.wiki/y8n4** this is a somewhat easy reel to use but would not recommend starting on a bait caster. The reel is priced well and is great quality highly recommend*
You really need to do your research before you talk about and compare products and on top of it you need to use the products for at least a year before making any reviews on it ......you’re not alone there are a lot 13 year olds doing the same type of reviews as you.
"when you take that little door off" lol listen, i love KK. I have the stealth, speed demon, royale legend, and spartacus (for inshore) in baitcast (along with other spinning reels) however, none of those reels compare with my casitas or my old green machine curado bantam. KK is great for the budget fisherman.. but the reality is, you're getting better quality with shimano. i'm not saying don't buy KK. I'm just saying, at some point you graduate from KK and upgrade. That's what I'm doing now. KK is great for beginners who need to be careful taking off the little door. but after a while you grow out of KK.
Just reading off numbers. Not sayig its a bad reel but they exaggerate the numbers and put bearings in places that don't matter. .the Shimano breaks are gonna be better also
pretty sure he was paid also shimano is light years ahead of last king or whatever its called shimano anything is better then most expensive last king out there
These Kast King reviews are pure nonsense. Hopefully people can see that these guys are all affiliates and marketing. This will be the demise of Kast King. Its the same product as like 20 other Chinese crap just different branding. Look it up. Alibaba Reels.

Is the shimano casitas good for casting light weight lures and popping corks
Dylan Garcia yes
Which one casts farther?
I would have to say the Kastking but I have never done an actual test to validate that

Truth
I Agree 100% There NO Cheap China Made Plastic Reel That's Better Then a SHIMANO
Thanks for this video, unfortunately I don’t like the dual breaking system. Very detailed review regardless!
That is the only reason I’ve never pulled the trigger on a Shimano is how impossible that breaking system is to turn

Great question, still trying to figure that out for myself! I’m new to the area! Let’s go find some!
Why doesnt the 10% off code work? Ive tried it doesnt go thru
It was a limited time! Let me see if I can find an additional one
Ok. Actualy want to order 2 today but 10% off sounds good right about now.
they don't have any promo codes currently :/ sorry man!
All good thanks for looking.. ordering 2 anyways. Test its durability on salt water.. FISH ON...

Casitas only have 1 break system not dual break. Second, Banax centrifugal brake on your Kastking doesn't last long
the kid is the real MVP
I personally own both of these reels and performance in the field hands-down the casitas wins much longer smoother casting and better overall preformance. CEO Kirby's custom lures.
Great job and it looks like you have a fishing buddy in the near future. Is the Spartacus saltwater friendly? Thanks.

Kastking are great for the money but the suck at casting medium to slightly heavy lure making noise from the wheels tha holds the fishing line

The wheels that hold the fishing line ...
*I liked how smooth the reel spins with the 12 bearing system it is like butter. **allabout.wiki/y8n4** this is a somewhat easy reel to use but would not recommend starting on a bait caster. The reel is priced well and is great quality highly recommend*
Very one sided the casitas is made up of better materials and easier to tune
Awesome review brother , Spartacus is a sweet reel .
Yeah man! I used to think to get s good reel you have to spend a lot of money definitely not the case
The Spartacus is the worst reel I’ve ever used honestly
You really need to do your research before you talk about and compare products and on top of it you need to use the products for at least a year before making any reviews on it ......you’re not alone there are a lot 13 year olds doing the same type of reviews as you.
Lol sure thing bud!
haha.. go go take the reel kids😂
"when you take that little door off" lol listen, i love KK. I have the stealth, speed demon, royale legend, and spartacus (for inshore) in baitcast (along with other spinning reels) however, none of those reels compare with my casitas or my old green machine curado bantam. KK is great for the budget fisherman.. but the reality is, you're getting better quality with shimano. i'm not saying don't buy KK. I'm just saying, at some point you graduate from KK and upgrade. That's what I'm doing now. KK is great for beginners who need to be careful taking off the little door. but after a while you grow out of KK.
Richard Ilog agreed
Hahaha good one!
Nyong ben nganggo,, tsummmm,,,,
Notification gang!
Love it! Thanks for the support!!!
Its less than half the price, not more than half the price.
This guy ain’t got a clue to what he’s talking about..
Your grammar hurts my brain.
Just reading off numbers. Not sayig its a bad reel but they exaggerate the numbers and put bearings in places that don't matter. .the Shimano breaks are gonna be better also
@@Spartankidoutdoors as nick say, you ain't got a clue for what you talking about........
Vas a comparar, no hay color kastking es una basura .
You're going to compare, no kastking color is rubbish.
pretty sure he was paid also shimano is light years ahead of last king or whatever its called shimano anything is better then most expensive last king out there
*KASTKING
Definitely not paid that would be awesome if I did lol
Not paid, how about a brand ambassador??
These Kast King reviews are pure nonsense. Hopefully people can see that these guys are all affiliates and marketing. This will be the demise of Kast King. Its the same product as like 20 other Chinese crap just different branding. Look it up. Alibaba Reels.
Kastking is gonna fall apart
It’s yet to give me any problems
Spartan kid outdoors really because all Ive seen and heard of is them coming apart
Kastking👎
i own a shimano slx 150 and a kk spartacus . and the kast king is garbage. just give it a month or so u will understand
Please show us how to use 17lbs of drag using 10lb line and 8lb leader that the Casitas fishes excellent with far longer than the Spartacus
