Product Overview

I have recently had the pleasure of testing out the KastKing Spartacus II spinning reel. This is a lightweight yet tough fishing reel that can handle any fishing conditions, whether used for saltwater or freshwater. With its reinforced nylon body and rotor, this reel is designed to be incredibly smooth and reliable. I was impressed with how easy it was to use and the 22 lbs of triple disc carbon fiber drag that allowed me to use light fishing lines without compromising performance.

The KastKing Spartacus II has been built with KastKing s unique water resistant design for its spool, rotor, and body. This helps keep water and dirt out of your reel to ensure nonstop fishing action and long life. It also features Hamai cut precision gears, 7 1 stainless steel shielded ball bearings, brass pinion gear, ceramic line roller, stainless steel hardware, sealed spool, and built with KastKing s Affordable Innovation making the KastKing Spartacus II Spinning Reel an excellent choice for anglers of all levels.

In terms of looks, this reel really stands out with its sophisticated color scheme including stryker green, chartreuse and black with a sure grip EVA knob. The gear ratios are 5.2 for the 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 sizes with performance that you would expect from a much more expensive brand. I also noticed that this reel is quite lightweight which makes it easy to carry around without feeling too bulky or heavy in my hands.

Overall I am very impressed with what this reel has to offer! It is great for both beginner and experienced anglers alike as it provides smooth operation along with durability and high end performance that you would expect from a more expensive product. I would definitely recommend this reel to anyone looking for a quality spinning reel at an affordable price point!
