Avalonjohn44 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Amazon deal of the day, about 50 bucks, not a bad price... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074WNVNRP/?tag=delt-20&m=A28JKQEAQXCBRF Quote
jtharris3 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I ordered one. It will be my first KK reel. I'm usually a Lews and Shimano guy. Quote
DKennedy Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I ordered one a few months ago and I have no complaints on it. Good reel that gets used a lot. 1 Quote

They had a problem with them being installed wrong for awhile, maybe it's been corrected now though. Mine weren't right and the drag was not nearly as strong as it should have been. It's an easy fix and made a huge difference for mine. How they were when I took the reel apart. How they should look. I didn't buy a Speed Demon, waiting on the new one to come out. I did buy a new Sharky III 2000 for $36. 1 Quote

Drew03cmc Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I'm looking at a Speed Demon for frogging and loading it with 50lb braid just for the task. I can't wait. Quote
jtharris3 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I received the reel today. At first inspection, the reel is a nice looking reel. It feels well put together. Very smooth. I’m pairing it up with a 7’ MH Carbonlite 2.0 rod for frogging! As an added bonus, BP had the Carbonlites on sale for $99 this weekend. 1 Quote
sully420 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 I didn't like mine at all had problems with big fish the gears grind when fighting fish. Then the reel seat broke made of cheap plastic is sent it back for the warranty and never geard from kast king after that. I'll stick with paying more and getting quality. Just experience with KK.
