The Kastking Spartacus II is one of the most affordable reel on the market. So, I picked one up and decided to test it out for myself.
First with a casting / distance test and then on the water with multiple lure.
AND THEN I completely failed and ended my day in the water....
Thanks for watching!

Bang for the dollar Kastking is hard to beat. I really like my Spartacus (original version with the dual brake system). For the $35 bucks I spent it works as good as my $100 baitcasters I have. Has excellent casting distance and out of all my baitcasters I can cast this one the best.

The thing about Kastking reels including the Spartacus 2, which I own and don't use is that their quality control isn't great. Mine is defective. My Mega Jaws now sounds like a coffee grinder after a year's use. You get what you pay for. Save your money and buy a Diawa Tatula, AB RevoX Shimano or Lews. In the long run you'll be much happier.

After two of my reels from kastking malfunction I stop buy from them, I bought the parts from their website and fixed it. Then the same reel one of them the crixus had bearing problems and made raspy noise I msg them to have them send me parts for free but they just simply ask me to buy it. I don’t abuse my reels infact I do maintenance on them. So fixing the same reel twice when I have to buy parts cost almost half the price of the reel I think I’ll pass.

@@KeatsKeats was out today and one of my royal legend elite reel had the problem again with the one way clutch bearing, I really want to like kastking but this is getting kind of ridiculous, I know oh maybe I’m just using it wrong…trust me when I say I’m not. Using for jerkbait found myself with a backlash spool while jerkbaiting I said to myself not again…….I know it’s the one way clutch bearing because I’ve had this before. 100% certified! If I were u stay away from royal legend elite. Get a different model. Strike 3 for me. Blue reel now is also making raspy noise when casting that means one more thing it’s the other bearings I’ve also fixed. Now to mention I service my own reel, and I don’t throw in on the ground on the dirt. Needless to say kk royal legend elite is bad reel.
