KastKing Centron & Centron Lite Spinning Reels, Freshwater and Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel, Up to 17.5Lbs Max Drag, 5.2:1 Gear Ratio, Ultra Smooth Powerful, CNC Aluminum Spool, 9+1 BB Light Weight

Bought this reel because it was on sale for super cheap. It is now one of my favorite kasking reels for crappie and pan fish. Using the 500 spin on a 5'6" kastking perigree rod is a great combo for some light duty fishing. Has a good cast and smooth reeling.

Love the quality of the reel and all kastking reels, the color scheme works great together, reel is very fast and silent, line capacity is also great, gonna pair it with kastking 10lb mono, have not had a chance to put in action yet, just got it yesterday.

The only review you need to read.This is for freshwater review. NOT FOR SALTWATER!!!These are amazing reels for the price. For anyone who is starting out or is avid fishermen. I been using these 4 to 5 times a week on the biggest lake in PNW. I fish Lake Washington. With 30 different types of fish. And different sizes and weight. With great success.I currently own 3 of these Piscifun Flame reels. On 3 different setups, from pan fish to large mouth and cat fish. My setups are all less then $60 including the line I put on the reel.I I get the smooth cast everytime. From my 5" to 7" pole. Using all size lures and just to a split shot and bober set up for some panfish. You wont be disappointed in this reel.This isn't your cheap plastic walmart reel or reel and combo, you get at walmart. This reel does compete with the Penn or even other high end reels. But for a more affordable price tag. I have mine for a year now. And still cast smooth like day one. I don't keep up with the oiling and other maintenance, becuase I wanted to see how long it will last with neglect, also less $30 I can buy a new one if needed to be. So far over a year of use. And still going strong. I will recommend this to any fresh water fisherman or fisherman. It's a great reel for the beginner or the advance. Would I use this for a bass competition, probably. Lol.So here my setup for pan fish and basic bass fishing. If you are new to fishing or just wanting a nice cheap freshwater setup.Panfish - Bluegill,sunfish, pumpkin seeds, perch, white or black crappie, etc.I use a shakespeare micro series rod. This is my 5" rod. Ultra light. Great to feel even the smallest bites.Around $20 on amazon.Bigger fish - Trout, Bass, Walleye, etc.Berkley Cherry Wood HDThis is a full wood rod. Coming in around 6'6 and also a 7" rod. Medium/heavy. Now before you say why would you want a Medium/heavy for trout or even walleye.This has a tip of a light rod (meaning you can fill small bites), but the back bone of a heavy rod. I pulled 13lbs fish in on 8lbs test thanks to this rod.This is like the name says. Made of cherry wood, so the tip is easily breakable. But wont break from weight of bigger fish. It's great rod. I been using them for 15+ years now. And own multiple sizes.Around $20 on amazon.I use berkely invisible line on all my reels. Just personal choice.

Love the Reel. Looks expensive •super smooth casting •for the price it’s unbelievable •buying another one for a gift …

Good Real @ a good Price

It is very difficult to judge size of the unit, without seeing it. This is a panfish or trout size rig.

Nice feel for the price. Great on a light 5 or 6 foot rod. This is the second one I purchased. Perfect for freshwater fishing for trout and bass

looks good feels great and smooth, hope it works and last ,haven't tried it yet
