Megatron Spinning Reel, Freshwater and Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel, Rigid Aluminum Frame 7+1 Double-Shielded Stainless-Steel BB, Over 30 lbs. Carbon Drag, CNC Aluminum Spool & Handle

Hard to beat for its affordability and quality construction. The reel I used before this was Kastking Spartacus, another quality reel. Upon taking this reel out of the box, I immediately notice how light and smooth it is. When mounted on the rod, the clearance is plenty and that the spool doesn't hit my fingers. Thanks to its spool design, any knot you use to line this reel, your line won't slip around. Haven't fought a decent fish with this reel yet, but first impressions are highly positive. From it's sleek and light design, smooth action and just good general feeling when holding it.

Awesome reels love kastking products! It's the best bang for the buck. The Only issue I have with a kastking Megatron 5000 and 6000, I wish the handle arm metal and shaft that slides into to the body of the reel, was 2 gauges more in thickness, making it a bit more sturdy. But otherwise it's definitely my go to fishing reel.

Very good reel!!...the drag is amazing and it holds up to the challenge!!..I have used KastKing for many years and have one on almost all my polls!!..

Great. Very convenient, fits good, works smooth

Used 2 of these for crab snaring. 6000 size. While a bit smaller than other brand 6000 size reels, these held their own just fine. If anything I appreciate the smaller size and lighter weight reel. Smooth reeling, easy to use, holds a lot of line to size, casts without issue, all in a smaller size than typical. Even with 2-3 crabs on one snare, they don’t hold me back reeling them in from 60-80 yards of surf and beach. Only thing I have to wait for is their longevity, surf casting has killed everything I have used in the past. Only time and rust will tell if these were a worthy purchase. I do my best to maintain my equipment, but most reels last 3-4 seasons max before the bearings rust through and they die! I’m hoping these two 6000s last! So far I’m impressed.

Great reels smooth and cast a mile!

I needed a good budget reel for guests on my boat, so I purchased this reel after reading a bunch of reviews on it and visiting the KastKing website. I must say, so far it is living up to everything I read about it. The fit and finish on the reel seems to be of good quality and is comparable to some of my much more expensive reels. I have not yet fished with it so there will likely be a follow to this review in the near future. As of now, I can confirm that the build quality is good, the materials seem to be of decent quality and the reel feels smooth and casts well. It is of course the 6000 size and I've spooled it with 300 yards of 30lb braid and there is ample room for more line if needed! I'll be using this one for a combination of inshore and offshore fishing here in the gulf, primarily targeting Redfish, Cobia, Snapper and maybe the occasional small blacktip or spinner shark. I have it mounted on a 6'6" fast action, heavy spinning rod with plenty of backbone for the larger catches! Now I just need the weather to cooperate! I'll update this review a bit later, but for now, based on first impressions, I would definitely buy again and would recommend this reel to anyone looking for a good quality budget reel. Thanks for reading!

I'm using this reel on my catfish rod. Previously I've broken several reels fishing flathead. Body flex from fighting 40lbs+ cats will wreck a reel quickly. This 6000 Megatron reel has a full aluminum body with absolutely no flex. It's a far better reel for the money than you'd assume from the price. I've had this reel on 5 trips so far and caught a significant number of good size fish as well as a few over 40lbs and even one 90lbs alligator gar. So far this reel is handling the fish as well as the abuse from backpacking the river banks. I certainly abuse the reel but I also wash oil and grease it after use. Hope this review helps.
