Cast Testing Review of KastKing MegaJaws Elite Shallow Spool Baitcasting Reel

Cast Testing Review of KastKing MegaJaws Elite Shallow Spool Baitcasting Reel. How well can it cast? I am exploring their AMB Braking system to see how it behaves and see if it's a good budget dynamic braking reel. Retailed at 129.99, will this be comparable to Daiwa Tatula 100, retailing at 179.99? Note the legacy Tatula 100 is being sold at 129.99 too, wink!

Reel was Purchased on Amazon (afil Link)

Jimbo from what all I’ve learned from you I owe you a major thank you. I was able to help someone today that was about to throw away a new Gekkibijin and the Kestrel BFS rod. He had messed with the side tension knob. I reset it for him and showed him how to cast it. And today was a great day on the water. We caught 67 Crappie on our BFS gear. Brother hope that you and the family are doing great and keep those lines tight.

Very good indepth info for that reel. Love the casting vids. But can't wait for the fishing to get into full swing for those vids cabin fever setting in. Be blessed. My friend.

Great review, you likely helped me avoid some headaches! What real combo do you recommend for an experienced 12 year old fisherkid but first introduction to baitcasting? Primarily fishing panfish and bass in MN... occasionally going for a larger pike. Is there a such thing as sub $100 baitcaster that is hard to birds-nest up?

That $250 can be better spent exploring another reel or upcoming release. The Mg12 has the same AMB braking system but they claim it has high speed spool bearings.

Got this reel 2 years ago. They were released at asia. and according to them, it is recommended to use heavy lures (8 grams to 40 grams from what i remember from the recommendations chart)for targeting giant snakehead and other asian game fishes.
To be honest, it was a good reel for its price at that time, I rarely got backlash from it. Another thing i like from this reel is that I can skip cast without a problem.

Just curious, their MegaJaws also advertised to have their AMB on there. Would you know if they are the same thing?

[justgregnow]

The MG12 is definitely the sweet spot if you’re tossing lighter lures. I own regular megajaws elite and can toss a 1/4oz lure just fine. With that said I prefer fishing my MG12 for any lure under 3/8oz. I’ll be picking this megaJaws up tho.

Thanks for the presentation. I watched 2-3 times with interest. However, I also have a motive for this. Birthday surprise Westin W4 2nd 10` MH .6/16 - 1 1/12 looking for a reel to cast long. I use PE 1-1.2 (Japan) ; Acme Kastmaster and pilkers 1/2-11/2. As for whether the MegaJaws Elite Baitcasting Reel can cast 100-110 yards with this combo, I didn't get a definitive answer? Can I rely on the brake system of this reel? 🤔🤔🤔
The alternative is Shimano, but 2x more expensive.
I have Kestrel bfs and Speed Demon Elite, I am happy with their work today.

Спасибо за обзор в действии катушки, теперь можно сделать определëнные выводы!👍🤝

Thanks for the reel i had been looking at that reel to put on my jig setup where i throw 3/8 and 1/4 oz jigs but for $129 i will pass

Hello I'm from India we fish mostly fish for snakehead fish with soft weedless frog in the lake and we use mostly 1/2 ounce frogs and we miss many strikes because the 1/2 ounce is to big for them we need to use like 1/4ounce but we can't able to cast further we use cheap Chinese bait casting reels can you suggest bearings or any tips to cast further for 1/4 ounce frogs please im using seasir megacuda reel its a deep spool because we need to use heavy line. Because we are frogging we cant go lighter line

[stewartburns]

Need to get the spool in the video so people can see.
