I stick to daiwa and shimano
Sometimes Penn for saltwater, like conventional reels
Other companies make me nervous

I don’t have any advice, but I do love kastking. Nice and smooth and easy to use 🙂 I have this specific reel and I’m a big fan, haven’t had any issues

YouTuber its_hueyyyy just posted a video where he uses and reviews the rod and shows it in action. I believe he has the casting model.
Keep in mind he is sponsored by Kastking tho.

I have the rod in M that I use for a backup or when friends come(ive tested it myself as well)its not bad for the price,mine came with 2 tips as well which is a bonus,I bought it without the reel tho.its not a 100$ rod but its solid and certainly better then the cheapo stuff,the thing pulled up logs when I had it stuck,that would shatter my st Croix in a sec.As far as the reel i had the blue version in a 4k before, and even tho I used it only once or twice before gifting it to my friend who was starting out,it felt extremely smooth and solid with a good drag.

Not familiar with this rod in particular, but I’ve had several kast king rods over the years and they’re great rods. Responsive and durable, I even have a telescopic kast king thats held up for at least a decade while seeing a ton of travel and use.
This rod seems a little pricey but I looked it up and the reel seems pretty sweet. It. Packs a punch with 17-22 lbs of drag (depending on the size) and it isn’t too heavy at 9 ounces. It can also be used in salt water which is always a bonus if you’re near a coast.
I’d say it’s not a terrible price but you may be able to find comparable for cheaper, like the Penn wrath combo, for instance. Im not sure what is putting this combo over the rest of the market that they want $100.

The only 2 Chinese brands i “trust” are KastKing and Seasir.
