KastKing are 100% shills. Anyone saying they aren't is a shill. They are the biggest shills in fishing. Enjoy.

While I don't agree that every kastking post is a shill, take a look at this particular one as an example. You have someone who never posted anything else posting on their very first post stating that the pricing is reflected in cart, and the staff that posted this listing talking back to it like it's really someone else. someone who oddly has 10 reps with a single post. Pretty fishy. happens often with kastking posts.

Important to add that discount is shown in the cart not the landing page for the item.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank sinkingfeeling

Spartacus 2 goes for less on Amazon, and according to ccc average price has been even less in the past few months at $40.79

https://a.co/d/9DJuQri

And so does the royale legend glory after coupon on the page

https://a.co/d/18wQ8Sk

destron is only a couple of bucks off their normal price, and you can get it about the same price on Amazon too, not that their braid seems to be much better than alternatives at around the same price

So yeah, mediocre for their own 10th anniversary sale

Some users don't have a ton of activity but it doesn't make them a shill. I encourage you to MA anything you think is a shill so it can be investigated.


I've posted other Kastking deals that made it to the front page and you'll note different users commenting.

Krome rods? Seem very decent for the current pricing.
Experience with kastking in past is its just the worst garbage yet some items seem to be much better now like whatever their 200 something dollar bfs reel per youtube the reel test and others.. sounds like it's a very nice reel.
So I'm a little torn on thinking about ordering some kromes the nano resin toray banks with fuji alconite and large textured graphite grip rod for $50-$60 in some interesting lengths and actions seems a shame to pass up.
I'm wondering if the 12' casting would make a good surf rod despite its trolling designation.

I haven't used any intentionally specific salmon rods.. and wouldn't use them as such ant time soon would use for inshore fishing for snook, reds, black drum, snappers, maybe some grouper and a shark or three & miscellaneous other.
then thinking about that 12' casting for surf.

I was looking at the 12' too for surf but since moving to the west side of Florida, I haven't needed long surf rods since the best fishing is within 10 yards of the shoreline.

I love slick deals for everyone's input and knowledge. I did order 2 of the 9 for kastking rods for Salmon fishing in the fall in Michigan. Did I make a mistake? Any suggestions on other options. I have never been salmon fishing but it has always been on my bucket list and getting time to so it. Lol. Thank you everyone.

Companies that pump up posts and activity on SD get the reputation they deserve, and I appreciate the users that point out that reputation. It's hard to keep track of all of the "questionable" brands that come up here, but "Kast King" is a big offender. If you only went on SD for fishing info, you probably would assume that Kast King was the only brand that made fishing gear.

My rods showed up today and they are beautiful. I picked up 1 medium light 9ft and 1 medium fast 9ft. I yet to fish with them since it's hard water season up here still but the quality of these rods surprised me. It's not going to replace my Gloomis but it's right up there with my St Croix.

I would avoid Kast King. Stick to Shimano, Penn, Daiwa etc. Pick the right gears and maintain them they will last for a long time. When you go fishing, the cost of gear and tackle is relative small compare to travel cost and time.
