Why Are KastKing Products Inexpensive?

You can call them cheap fishing rods and cheap fishing reels if you want, but there’s a lot more to the story. Why are KastKing products inexpensive is an often asked question. Some may refer them as cheap fishing reels or cheap fishing rods, but that’s not the case. KastKing offers great value in all of their fishing tackle products. That’s to say, the most and best features at the lowest price. Here’s how KastKing offers the lowest price with top quality.

KastKing uses the same quality control and product testing as all of the other major fishing tackle manufacturers, and sometimes more so. For fishing rods, fishing reels, fishing line, fishing tools and everything else, KastKing uses the best materials possible that fit within a price bracket, so they are not cheap in and of themselves. And to show that lacking top quality with KastKing is not an issue, KastKing rods, KastKing reels, and KastKing fishing lines are used by fishing tournament pros and professional fishing guides across America. Is KastKing inexpensive compared to other top brands? Almost always, yes. Here’s why…

KastKing keeps cost down in several ways and passes the saving on to the consumer. The biggest saving is that KastKing does not use distributors for fishing tackle products. Most manufacturers of consumer good sell their products to a warehouse distributor that typically adds 20% to the cost. KastKing is direct to consumers. Further cost to consumer savings that KastKing passes along are eliminating export/ import agents and freight forwarders that charge fees.

Another area of tremendous cost saving is not using traditional advertising such as magazine ads. Those can cost thousands of dollars depending on the size of the ad and how often it is printed. All of those advertising costs are built into the selling price by other fishing tackle brands. There are no big corporate executive salaries or perks or salesmen’s commissions that are passed on to consumers in the product’s price by other brands. The company uses JIT (just in time) supply line tactics to keep a steady flow of inventory coming in, keeping inventory levels at an optimum, and operating costs down.

KastKing does not have retail or big box stores that have the costs of real estate, rent, heat and air conditioning, electric bills and a lot of employees to run those retail stores. As KastKing sometimes says, we put a fishing tackle shop in your mailbox.

In 2015 In a competition voted on by members of the fishing industry media and corporate buyers at ICAST (International Convention of Allied Sportsfishing Trades) the KastKing brand won a coveted ICAST Best of Show Award for its innovative products. That’s an award given by the fishing industry media for ingenuity, not the lowest price. So, once again, it addresses the value of KastKing presenting worthy products at an affordable price. We hope this answers your question about why are KastKing products inexpensive.


Did you know? KastKing fishing gear is being used by angling professionals on the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour, FLW, BFL, NWT National Walleye Tour and Bassmaster (B.A.S.S) bass tournament fishing trails.

KastKing is setting new standards in marketing that the consumers relate too. Examples are Amazon Customer Reviews, Voice of the Angler Program VOA, the KastKing Ambassador Program and now tournament tour pros... Thanks for keeping fishing affordable with innovative and quality fishing gear.

My clients fish with the brand combos and line all day, then are absolutely floored at the combo price. Alot if them order the same set up they used right at the dock. Kastking has helped keep my operating costs to an all time low. Thank you for keeping fishing fun!

Hello, unfortunately I have no experience with Kastking products because I come from Germany. I've been following you on Instagram for a long time. I think your products are great. Easy to clean, easy to maintain and repair. I would test or buy your products every time.

[Chilly-Cooks]

Just recently bought my first KastKing product and have been absolutley loving it. I have already ordered more and got one of my buddies hooked on em. Keep it up

[maxchesler]

This was honestly helpful, I'm glad you made this video.

Good job. I retired all my Garcia 65 and 7000's when I discovered the Kapstan 300 elite. I love them 💗. They are a cat fishermen's dream come true.

I got a Crixus spinning rod and I love it! I was absolutely surprised how nice it is, I love it!

[yakkensteinfishing]

I have several Kastking products. Rods, reels, braid, fishing tools. I really like the idea of keeping fishing fun and affordable. I would never be able to afford more than a couple setups otherwise.

I said it from the first time I picked up one of your reels(speed demon) and tried it for the first time, and I knew it then and told all my friends about you guy's reels and rods...high quality at a bargain price.
Thank you

Everytime I cast one of my Royal Legends I think I can't believe this costed so little.

[berobinson]

I bought a KastKing for the price point. Didn't need a new reel. Just a whim. I love it. It's up to the quality of every reel twice its cost. The value is incredible. I use it all the time and it's a long and accurate product. I have a DC Curado also. I'd rather buy 5 of your products than another 1 of theirs. Supply chain management is huge. A flat business stucture is huge. Thanks for the video. Suddenly my KastKing reel needs a mate. Cheers.

I love how durable the reels are. I have a few kastking reels, and they have been through a lot, but they still function pretty well

[haydenchaille]

I've had shimanos, favorites, diawas, and others but ever since I've gotten my first kastking reel which is a bassinator I've just been been in love with kastking

[tristonfishing]

I love how inexpensive the reels are 🙂

[robertdtimmerman]

I have 9 Kast King reels and two rods. I have NOT been disappointed in any of the gear. The reels work every time as expected. The rods are of super quality and work great and... they look nice!

[Break-N--Golf]

The quality in these reels are great! I love the prices of these reels. The casting ability is unbelievable. I can’t wait to get my hands on the elite reels!

[zhulfikar]

Im just starting to get into kastking products. So far im really liking them. Was kinda scared at first on the quality, but this vid really explains it all. Thanks

[ethanbyars]

Completely stoked every time I buy yalls products.. best in the game for the price hands down 🔥🔥🙏

[saltyfl-clowns]

I was looking for a quality baitcaster set up for months. Than I ran across this video in my YouTube suggestion feed. I checked them out all over the web. Everyone had their point of view. I decided to take the chance Ordered the Spartacus in the Seafoam green. I’ve been using that baby for weeks now. I can personally say I don’t want to put it down. For a college student who has a tight budget for none school objects; I couldn’t be happier with my setup. I recommend them to my friends looking to step up their reels from The Walmart reels.
