$15.20 with coupon code UP20AFF. Insane deal on entry level baitcasting reel. Honestly, get it and spool it with 12-15 pound mono. Or throw the $5 braid (see other Kastking deals) on with a cheap leader. Great backup.

Dude, most of their stuff is budget gear. And second, they aren't any worse than other low budget gear of 'brand' names. I've bought a whole lot of fishing gear within the last 5 years. You get what you pay for, and with brand names, you pay extra for their names. Example, I bought a pflueger 'entry level baitcast reel for $50. It was total garbage. It was worse than unknown brand or even kastking costing less than half. Why? Side plate wouldn't close back up because there was a piece of defect, the level wind was completely plastic, and magnetic breaks were so weak they didn't make much of a difference.
I'm not a huge fan of kastking for various reasons, but to go into posts just to say that they're junk with no other info makes your post pointless and no one cares.
This will be fine for the average person who fishes here and there, so long as they understand this is intended for FW bass fishing. Don't take it out to try and catch a Tarpon.

Why?
It has 8 magnets for braking system (I don't know if any that has more than 5 at this price point) brass main gear, 30 micro adjustments for the braking system, pretty good aluminum spool, and mine was pretty smooth - not amazing, but for this price it's really good. Minor, but it also has a clicky tension knob. I don't remember if the drag star was clicky...
The one thing I didn't like was the adjustment for magnetic brakes - it's a different design and I didn't like it very much but not a huge deal.
