KastKing Spartacus II Spinning Reel – Sealed Carbon Fiber 22LBs Max Drag – 7+1 Stainless BB for Saltwater&Freshwater – 5.2:1 Gear Ratio – Size 500&1000 Perfect for Ice Fishing

This fishing reel has been a great addition to my gear. It performs smoothly and consistently, making each cast feel effortless. The retrieve is steady with no jerking or slipping, and it handles line really well without tangling or bunching. I also appreciate how sturdy and well-built it feels—it holds up nicely even after multiple uses and doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, it’s reliable and gets the job done without any issues. Overall, a solid reel that works exactly as it should.

Paired with a Fuji Panfish Ultralight rod and SOS Trout Magnet 2lb test, I’m very happy with this reel. I was using a Shimano Sienna 500 reel previously, but wanted to upgrade to a 1000 reel with a stronger bail and more line capacity. The drag is fantastic, and you don’t have to make large adjustments to dial in the feel. I will go by 1/4 turns in or out. The bail flip is solid and gives a good “pop feedback. Lastly, the matte finish looks nice but also feels nice when handled. I’m not a fan of chrome and glossy reels. Definitely an A++. Good value considering features vs. price.

Why have I not found this guy before now!?? I am telling you this reel could go for much much more. I spooled it with about 200 yrds of .24mm, 20lb, braid. Mounted it on a KastKing Hercules 7' rod. I put a 1/2 oz weight on it and with just a flick of the wrist it cast well over 80yrds. Extremely smooth retrieval, body is very light weight Great durability. Its a great looking reel. Great material feel, easily adjustable and the drag is quick turns to dial it in. Im putting lines n the water this next weekend and will update with some live results. For now though, this is my new favorite reel!

This spinning reel is worth every dime I paid for it. Good quality, looks well made and smooth rewind action. I thought I’d use a braided blend fishing line ( 8 lbs test ) and can’t wait to try it out. These reels ( I bought two ) are well made.

i absolutely love this spinning reel i believe that its very worth the money i have been using it for while and it has been working really good it holds a lot of line i have a green and dark green line for it and it looks really clean and nice. it works really good with almost no noise at all. its built to last a long time.

Great reel. Very smooth and affordable. As social media continues to promote these reels they will be going up in price. Get them now while you can.

Smooth as butter, I am going smaller with the Bass in the ponds near me, and spinning is just so much easier over bait casting setup. KastKing is great!

I picked this reel up to pair with my KastKing Spartacus Passage travel rod (which I received through Vine), and the combo works really well together. At this point, I’ve tried a few KastKing products, and I’ve been consistently impressed — this reel continues that trend. The drag system stands out right away. It’s smooth and easy to fine-tune without needing big adjustments, which makes a difference when fighting fish. The reel itself feels solid, and the bail action is crisp and responsive, giving that nice positive feel when engaging. I also like the overall finish — clean, low-profile, and not overly flashy, which I personally prefer. For a compact reel like this, it feels capable and well built, whether you’re using it for freshwater or lighter setups. Pros Smooth and consistent drag system Solid, responsive bail action Pairs perfectly with KastKing travel rods Compact but capable design Great value for the performance Cons Smaller size may not suit all fishing styles Long-term durability still to be seen Overall, this is a great reel for anyone looking to build a lightweight, portable setup. Paired with the Spartacus rod, it makes for a really enjoyable combo on the water.

The product is as per the specifications and it's worth without any defects.
