I’ve been fishing with baitcasting ("open face") reels for years, and decided to take a chance on a new brand that I'm becoming familiar with, KastKing. This reel completely exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, value, and overall build quality!Right out of the box, the Centron Lite feels solid but impressively lightweight. The sleek black finish gives it a sharp, high-end look. The ergonomics are spot-on – it sits comfortably in the palm and feels well-balanced on my medium-heavy rod.The casting distance is FANTASTIC, and once I dialed in the user-friendly magnetic brake system, backlash was almost non-existent. (HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you're relatively new to baitcasters). The 7.1:1 gear ratio makes quick work of burning spinnerbaits or retrieving crankbaits efficiently. I’ve hauled in both small & largemouth bass of various sizes, and the drag system handled it with no issues – smooth and consistent pressure all the way through.This reel is incredibly smooth for the price point. The 7+1 ball bearings definitely make a difference, especially when retrieving. I haven’t noticed any grinding or stiffness even after several full days on the water.After a few weeks of heavy use, it’s held up remarkably well. No corrosion, and a quick rinse, wipe, and light oiling had it working like new. KastKing’s build quality here really shows – especially at this price point.I’d recommend this reel to both beginners looking for an easy-to-learn baitcaster and seasoned anglers who want a solid, reliable backup or budget-friendly primary reel. It’s perfect for anything freshwater, and I don't see why it wouldn't even handle some in-shore saltwater fishing with proper maintenance and know-how.For under $50, you’re getting a reel that feels and performs like something twice the price. KastKing knocked it out of the park with the Centron Lite. It’s now a staple in my tackle setup, and I’ll definitely be looking at more gear from them in the future. I've been working their products into my arsenal over the past year, but always stayed away from their rods & reels, simply because of loyalty to my "go to" brands. I can officially say that KastKing has made its way into my "go to" brands for every product I've used, and this Centron reel just might be the best reel setup I've used in a number of years!LIFETIME CUSTOMER!

Para el precio esta muy bien, ya que es un carrete económico y hace su trabajo. El material es resistente

El carrete se siente bien armado ó solido, no es muy suave. Pero se entiendo por su precio y la cantidad de baleros que tiene.

I'm far from a pro but very pleased with the reel first time out loaded it up with 30lb braid casts were very good distance was great im not a fan of braid so i got some 12lb momo loaded it up never changed any settings i had for braid or jig size casts were longer and no back lash on braid or mono i fished for 3 hours each day so you can guess how many casts i made break set at 3 tension you can adjust to your liking but a long story short great buy.
