There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The other problem was the reel would intermittently get stiff when cranking in the line. Upon disassembly, I found 2 reasons for this.
First, the gear grease inside was of poor quality and haphazardly applied when initially assembled. I did a through cleaning and relubed with quality Shimano grease and that was that.
Second, when initially assembled, they over tightened the nut that holds the rotor onto the pinion shaft. I backed the nut off ever so slightly and reinstalled the locking device..problem solved!
Now the reel preforms as it should, silky smooth with a powerful drag. The components and design are solid and heavy duty. These reels should last for some time. For the price, the reels are worth it but... only if you are capable and willing to give them a complete service right outta the box.
Edit-3 years later with moderate use in fresh and salt water. Aluminum is pitted and corroded. It has a very glitchy feel when spinning rotor. Anti reverse bearings needed overhaul, so much for the sealing they use. I won't be buying anymore Kastking spinning reels and suggest you look elsewhere
