Yeah when I got this reel there's was no any info about it... On the water reel is pretty good... I've got the new Speed Demon 3000 for only 45 $ from official AliExpress KastKing store and it's also very good reel but price it's again like 90$.... For that price they will have a lots competition with Daiwa BG and Penn reels... I really miss that KastKing don't have a offshore version reels because even 5000 sizes are small vs others brands in size 4000 up to 10000... But after testing and use of GOLD version I can say that is much better than regular RED one so just follow the aliexpress or KastKing facebook pages for extra deals.... Last time I've got 40$ off discount on Gold Sharky lll and Speed Demon...
@@SnjurCro i just ordered the gold , got it for $50USD on sale 56% off got the 5000 size cause im used to 4000 size shimano's. will be able to take 200m of 9 strand .28 braid. same as a nasci 4000 almost. except probably better reel if u ask me. lets see =)
I need size 3000 reel (100 or 150m of 0,30 or 0,35mm) and by producers specs I think kastking kodiak and sharky 3 are one size smaller, so if I decide to buy one of this two do I need to buy size 4000 by Kastking?
KastKing build generally smaller reels than others but they have great drag system. You will be good with 4000 Sharky lll but you can go even for 5000 series without problem. They are all pretty light even 5000
@@SnjurCro thanks for the respond👍🏻 I need this reel for general spin fishing from the river bank. Usual targets are zander, asp and pike. I have stronger combo for pike with 4500 reel when I need to cast larger lures. Are you somewhere from ex-Yugoslavia?
Hi. I want to know that reel is superior in quality and resistance to salt water. Sharky III Gold, is it sealed so that no water is introduced, K.I.S.S.? I can buy one or the other. Which is better? Which one do you recommend me buy? Thank you
Yes sure... I was using ebay.de www.ebay.com/itm/KastKing-Sharky-III-Spinning-Fishing-Reel-Saltwater-Sea-Fishing-Reel-Red-Gold-/182982418096 price is in Australian dollars... But next 3 days you have great deal aliexpress with 40$ on Sharky Gold and Speed Demon 2000 or 3000....

Hi. I want to know that reel is superior in quality and resistance to salt water. Sharky III Gold, is it sealed so that no water is introduced, K.I.S.S.? I can buy one or the other. Which is better? Which one do you recommend me buy? Thank you
Gold is better than regular version. But it's not that much better to cost 2x more. 80$vs40$ go for normal or if you want 80$ reel look for Daiwa BG.
How about stem flex of sharky iii? I love kodiak because it has minimum stem flex.
This is probably the answer why sharky iii gold is better than sharky iii red. Because sharky iii gold uses kodiak frame therefore no stem flex
@@jairusaudwin2605 yeah agree, and new price on Aliexpress for 65$ is fair price :)
@@SnjurCro for next 6 days its $50 for 5000 size
@@Ready_Fire_Aim that is very good price for this reel
Is it possible to change the knob of sharky III gold to a bigger knob?
yes it is but handle is to short again. The only problem with my sharky III is to small handle and knob after reels like Penn and Daiwa
