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 WeightCarbonfree Certified

Really like these reels, they work great, are reliable and take a fair amount of abuse. Using 20/30lb braid, fishing bass, cats and even panfish with no problems. Repeat purchaser, five now, I think.

These are an incredible value. We've LITERALLY bought 4 now and continue to upgrade old rods with these reels.

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.

Smooth reel, I can’t wait to take it out!!

Reel arrived in good condition. It’s ready to use out of the box and fit perfectly on my rod. I got the 5000 model and used it with 15 lb plastic line. It works phenomenally, the drag settings are great, very smooth and well-built reel. Absolutely zero play in any of the moving parts, rock solid and is easy to use. Would recommend.

Reel feels super smooth for the price of $30 probably smoother then some of the expensive reels I own

Great transaction

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great, very smooth and slick operation.
