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.

Great reel. I have the 6000 on a Team Catfish Thundercat Rod and it's a great match. Reel is solid, smooth, everything you could ask for and with it being a Kastking, you know it's made well. Highly recommend.

Gear ratios range between 4.5:1 and 5:1, with the smaller reel spool sizes sporting a surprisingly impressive 33lbs of drag. They can tackle larger gamefish with a much lower price tag.\ Made from a durable, lightweight aluminum body, stainless steel shaft, and brass gears, this unit will survive the harsh saltwater fishing environments avoiding corrosion over years of serious use. Added to this the Kastking Megatron comes with 7+1 double shielded stainless steel bearings providing further protection against the elements. Retrieve feels smooth, albeit not as smooth as my Dawai BG Spinning Reel, but at this price point, it works admirably. Drag feels strong with the Megatron providing a triple disk carbon fiber drag system to do all the heavy lifting. With up to 46lbs of drag available on larger models this reel is home to all the stopping power you could ever require. Kastking has undoubtedly proven they know how to make high-quality equipment for low budget wallets with the Megatron ready to tackle large gamefish in any conditions. A perfect starting point for those new to saltwater fishing or on a tight budget. The market for saltwater fishing reels under $100 is fierce, and the Megatron not only competes well in that category but will perform alongside your higher budget reels too.

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.

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 real so far no issues or complaints

The KastKing Megatron reel is one of my new favorite. Everything works like a standard spinning reel. The feel is great, works nice and smooth. The handle is made out of polished aluminum, so it feels real stout. Works as well as big named competitors. It has no problems fishing above its weight class, and functions smooth under heavier fish. Never tried KastKing before, but it genuinely impressed me. Some say its "good for the price". Price aside, its just genuinely good. It outperforms more expensive competitor reels that I own. Definitely going to shop more KastKing in the futur.
