Bang for the dollar Kastking is hard to beat. I really like my Spartacus (original version with the dual brake system). For the $35 bucks I spent it works as good as my $100 baitcasters I have. Has excellent casting distance and out of all my baitcasters I can cast this one the best.
Kastking is great if u ask me. I own a Sharky 3 and its just as nice as my SLX. Best bang for the buck. Im thinking about getting a Spartacus2 baitcaster combo brand new for $100 (best part)😂
The thing about Kastking reels including the Spartacus 2, which I own and don't use is that their quality control isn't great. Mine is defective. My Mega Jaws now sounds like a coffee grinder after a year's use. You get what you pay for. Save your money and buy a Diawa Tatula, AB RevoX Shimano or Lews. In the long run you'll be much happier.
@@davidstone3780 I have the abu Garcia black Max and I also have this reel . Id say the black max does feel and cast better . Although , I would say the handles on the kastking do feel better .. waaayyy better .
Could you please do a teardown of the reel and show us what is inside? I don't get it why this reel have a Spartacus name, all the features are worse than previous generation
Nice SLX by the way.....lol but yo for reals.... U no that bass told the homies watch this i'm pull this guy into the water..... and did it died LOL with the homie bass about yo he out there saying he slipped lmfao.... I mean i no ya got some big bass in texas and beyond aggressive to lol....
Belongs as a kids toy in a box of crackerjack. Run a deep diving crank bait with no actual fish hitting just the stress of running a deep diving crank bait and the reel is toast
After two of my reels from kastking malfunction I stop buy from them, I bought the parts from their website and fixed it. Then the same reel one of them the crixus had bearing problems and made raspy noise I msg them to have them send me parts for free but they just simply ask me to buy it. I don’t abuse my reels infact I do maintenance on them. So fixing the same reel twice when I have to buy parts cost almost half the price of the reel I think I’ll pass.
@@KeatsKeats was out today and one of my royal legend elite reel had the problem again with the one way clutch bearing, I really want to like kastking but this is getting kind of ridiculous, I know oh maybe I’m just using it wrong…trust me when I say I’m not. Using for jerkbait found myself with a backlash spool while jerkbaiting I said to myself not again…….I know it’s the one way clutch bearing because I’ve had this before. 100% certified! If I were u stay away from royal legend elite. Get a different model. Strike 3 for me. Blue reel now is also making raspy noise when casting that means one more thing it’s the other bearings I’ve also fixed. Now to mention I service my own reel, and I don’t throw in on the ground on the dirt. Needless to say kk royal legend elite is bad reel.
Hey, great content and Amazing products! I've just discovered this and noticed you all have been around for some years now. I just started a Fishing RUclips Channel and would LOVE to review and feature some of your greatest products. Is it possible to contact your company directly?
The Amazon listing says this is rated for saltwater also, anyone using it in saltwater? Curious to know how it holds up. $35 is impossible to beat for a saltwater bc.
You falling in the water then saying “that’s for another video” 😅😂😂..what kind of video? What not to do while bank fishing? How to royally f*** up a review video. Why didn’t you just take that part out dude?? Who cares about the crappy hookset on a 1lber- that whipped your butt. Lmao😂
Thanks for the full commitment. I give the dive an 8! Like the full review and test parameters.

Haha!!! did not see that dive coming! Just ordered this reel. Thanks!
Thanks for the great review man. That’s actually the setup I’m probably gonna run also so thanks again =]
please hit like. this dude dove into the pond for your entertainment.
Awesome video! What’s the app called you used to measure distance in the video?
Dude u fell in the water. WTF?
Worth the watch just for that
Keep up the great work. Always dropping🔥🔥🔥 content. Keep em comin bro

Great job sir, greatly appreciate the info and the effort for trying to get that darn fish :)
Thanks for watching. LOL yeah the one that pulled me in!
As you reviewed both , do you think crixus or spartacus 2 is better ?
Hi ryan.thanx for the video.is the Spartacus two one of the smaller baitcasters out there?ty.

Have you taken it apart and cleaned it?
Awesome video
Whats the name of that app that you are using. Thanks for the great videos
What is best reel kastking royal legend 2 or kastking royal legend gt
For an inexpensive reel, would you recommend this over a Shimano Black Max? Nice review.
ABU makes the black max and this is way better than that. The black max is not bad just not the same specs.
@@davidstone3780 I have the abu Garcia black Max and I also have this reel . Id say the black max does feel and cast better . Although , I would say the handles on the kastking do feel better .. waaayyy better .
Abu Garcia Black Max. Not shimano😊
🗣Double R is back with 🔥🔥🤟🏽 needed this, u got me liking them 🔥🔥🤙🏽🤟🏽💪🏽
That color is 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Ryan, what is the name of the app. to measure distance you were using?
good video, just cut back on the music so we don't have to adjust the volume. When I want music I listen to a radio. Good video tho.
Thanks for the tip
Could you please do a teardown of the reel and show us what is inside? I don't get it why this reel have a Spartacus name, all the features are worse than previous generation
Bro is dedicated with that fish
That fish caught me! lol
Why do you only have half the reel spooled? Or is that just the way it looks?
I need a budget friendly baitcast setup , this looks good for under $100 🤑🤑
this reel is working very well with 7ft rod with 25g to 30g lure...pls try it
bruh don't feel bad I fell about a week ago in the water ill post it soon on another page Iam starting
Nice SLX by the way.....lol but yo for reals.... U no that bass told the homies watch this i'm pull this guy into the water..... and did it died LOL with the homie bass about yo he out there saying he slipped lmfao.... I mean i no ya got some big bass in texas and beyond aggressive to lol....
what rod would be a good with this (bass fishing)
Plastic frame?!?! Love to see how long it lasts if you get a few good sized fish on & start torquing on it pulling them outta thick cover.

@@jimbo4612 Have you used them? I've been using a spartacus for 3 years with no problems at all
@@zacksalmon65 For same $50.00 you an get a Abu Garcia Black max .
@@jimbo4612 black max has a plastic frame too...and its a slower reel that isnt very great either.
it lasts just fine, there are $100 reels with graphite aka plastic frames
whats the app you used called?
Oh man. You should do a Tik Tok from that dive into the water!
Is it still good?
Sure is!
lol, the save unsuccessful, gotta give it to you nice try, btw this reel is 38$ on aliexpress rite now. 3/29/21
You’re left handed ? Does that mean you can’t do anything right ? .. hehehe
a reel does not work correctly if not filled with line to less than 1/8 inch to top of spool..
Yes it does. The rate of retrieve changes but he reel works fine. That rate changes depending on how far you casted as well.

@@CrunkyOMan83 what reel do you recommend
@@KeatsKeats so far I haven’t had any problems with Spartacus, you can try the Spartacus 2 for 45-50$ on amazon.
Or if u want to go off brand I recommend shimano, daiwa

I guess you won't reply to what the app is for measuring distance
Im not sure to be honest.It was just a free one from the App Store
Bro is it made of graphite or wot
Why you jump on water man ?

Anything can fish salt if you don't get it wet lol
I use. Legend2 for squid jigging. No jamming. Cast good.
ive been using the OG spartacus on saltwater for years. splash it under tap water after every use and no sign of corrosion nor rust.
How to buy this reel in India sir
Amazon if possible
My beginner friends want to buy themselves $200+ rods and reels that are around $250……😑😑
LMAO 13:12
Garbage...bought two units and both were bad out of the box...cheap materials. Went back to Lew's...never had an issue.
12:49 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
We need the whole story!!!!
7+1 pfff
It also has a supercharged V8...
Can't take a casting review seriously from someone who only fills the reel half way with line
