Overview
The KastKing KRLCSTRL2-72RBK is a compact spinning reel built from aluminum, carbon, graphite and stainless steel, listed with a 7.2:1 gear ratio and an adjustable braking system.
The listing mixes spinning and baitcasting terms and gives a right-hand 7.2:1 gear ratio, a ratio and braking feature more typical of a baitcasting reel than a traditional spinning reel, so buyers should confirm the reel style before ordering. The mixed-material build (aluminum, carbon, graphite, stainless steel) is standard for keeping a compact reel light while durable.
- Aluminum, carbon, graphite and stainless steel build
- 0.45 pound weight
- 7.2:1 right-hand retrieve
- Adjustable braking system
Who it's for
Fits anglers wanting a compact, lightweight reel with adjustable braking for faster retrieve fishing. Anyone needing a true open-face spinning reel should double check this listing's reel type first, since the spec data is inconsistent.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light 0.45 pound build
- Adjustable braking system
- Fast 7.2:1 gear ratio
- Listing mixes spinning and baitcasting terminology
Performance notes
An adjustable braking system lets anglers tune backlash control to lure weight and casting distance, a feature usually found on baitcasting reels. At 0.45 pounds, the aluminum and graphite mix keeps the reel light in hand over a long day of casting.
