Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has performed a dissection on a KastKing of any sort?  If so, what's it look like in there?

If not, I'm half temped to buy one just to see what they did. 

Regards,

Josh

You tube has a few...Put your money towards a proven reel in any brand. Unless your just messing around..IMO

Hello,

I'm Abu Garcia Made in Sweden only.  I do have an old Shimano Bantam 10 on the way, but it may just go to my wife.

I generally fix and upgrade old Quantum reels for family to use.  The 1310 is hard to beat in old Quantums.

The only reason I'm asking about the KastKing is curiosity.  From the little I can find online, the red reels, for example, look a LOT like the pre-UC Ambassadeurs.  I'm certain they're copying old (and maybe new) designs, and I'd like to know how well they're doing it.

Curiosity is all it is.

Regards,

Josh

I'm curious too.  Well for $40 they will at least make it in the boat as a backup reel.

I couldn't resist for about $35... I had to order one to satisfy my curiosity.   I know the odds are pretty low it will be a serviceable reel, but I had to try one.  A Kastking Royale Legend, 12-BB left-hand (RS1000HL) is on the way.  

I'll let everyone know what it looks like inside and how it performs (at least in the back yard on the snow; the water is hard here now).

Tight lines,

Bob
