Brutus Spincast Fishing Reel,Easy to Use Push Button Casting Design,High Speed 4.0:1 Gear Ratio,5 MaxiDur Ball Bearings, Reversible Handle for Left/Right Retrieve, Includes Monofilament Line.

This is the 3rd best spincaster I've used in 30 years of fishing. Better quality than my second, though, overall. You won't get a better one for the price. Casts very smooth, very good distance with the right lures/ weight, and the build quality is great. A little heavy, but you can tell it's solid and will last. Very happy with this spincaster at this price, I'd pay more 😆

This is an update to my original review. I have purchased two of these reels and they are better than I expected. They are well designed and manufactured. They run as smoothly as advertised. I fished with one of the reels for a while and enjoyed it without exception. However I just used the second reel this week. The reel performs as well as the first but the fishing line that came installed was a disappointment. The line had so many nicks in it that it broke every place I checked it. I’m sure this is just a one off situation but I would check it out before I fished with it. I have to replace this line at my expense.

I've got some nerve damage that makes using a spinning reel a bit too difficult and I can only use baitcasters on "good days", which are few and far between. I've taken to using my little Dock Demon for pan fishing and a trusty Zebco 33 for pretty much anything else - but I wanted more. So I bought the Kastking Brutus. I received it 3 days ago. First day out, skunked. Casts like a dream (even weightless stickbaits, which my 33 had issues with) and retrieves so smoothly and quietly that I couldn't believe it at first. Yesterday, failed to set the hook twice because I wasn't paying enough attention. Today I hooked one of the biggest fish I've ever fought - and the drag held up. It held up so well that before I could lower it the hook bent out almost straight and I lost the fish. I'm very pleasantly surprised by that... yeah, the fish got away, but now I know the Brutus can hold on until the terminal tackle gives out. Also caught some nice crappie. Pros: Easy casting, smooth and buttery retrieve. Can easily cast weightless rigs. Cons: Has some odd 'catches' when casting every so often. I think this is due to the absolutely insane line twist that it shipped with. It's easily solved - take off the line, put new line on. I'll be doing that tomorrow. I'd say every twentieth cast or so was spoiled by that line twist and odd 'catch' in mid-cast that stopped it cold or brought it snapping back to me. If you don't want to take the line off and put new on, the snags and such are easily cleared, but you'll be doing it fairly often. That might seem like it's heavy on the cons, but honestly it's not. Pretty much every reel that comes pre-spooled is going to have this issue and you shouldn't let it be a deal-breaker for you. If you're in the market for a quality spincast reel at a mid-tier price you can not go wrong with the Brutus. I'm tempted to get a second one to spool with lighter line. Edit: After a few fishing excursions I've noticed the handle, even at its tightest, is a little loose. You will definitely feel it while reeling in. Also, the line catching while casting was not solved by respooling the reel - it still does it, though not as often. These things aren't enough to make me dock another star, but they're worth knowing about. Edit, November 18, 2020 : Well, determined that the line 'catching' or 'sticking' while casting was due to an issue with the spool. It was ever-so-slightly out of line, which was likely caused with how I was storing and carrying my reels at the time. It has since seen some maintenance on a couple occasions and it works like a dream now. I have a number of baitcasting and spinning reels but this is the one reel I always keep on a rod, ready to fish with. Quite frankly I don't know why they bothered with the Cadet model, it's not that much cheaper and this thing is a freaking beauty. Maintain it regularly and it will serve you well.

Fantastic reel, great price, smooth gliding, strong, pulled in a 1-lb bass within the first 15 minutes of use then later the same day after many hours of smooth casting, pulled in a 5-lb northern pike, no issues, this was money well-spent so far!!

Love this reel! It's so much better than a zebco 33 as far as quality. And the price doesn't break your bank either.

This reel performed exceptionally well on our 5 day fishing trip and it landed numerous Bass and even a surprise Northern Pike. It feels well constructed and the bearings make it super smooth, my favorite feature is the reversible handle..

Nice reel, very smooth retrieve and cast .

I am teaching to young girls to fish and a reel that was easy to use and also good quality to not lock up, overspill when casting,etc. you know what I mean. First out of the box the reel felt solid and looked like it was made from quality materials, machined and casted well. After it was mounted to a good medium light rod I strung up a test casting weight and was I surprised at the smooth cast, and the just as smooth retrieve. Then off to the lake to have the youngsters try it and waiting for the mishaps to happen, I never once had a bundle of tangled line from overspooling. They appeared to be first time fisher proof lol. The second trip to the lake was the same result. I always have one extra rod set up in the boat as a back up so when a mishap happens just grab the extra rod and it can be dealt with later and no lost fishing time, but wanted to test these out first before ordering a third. I now have a third set up the same way as the other two and could not be happier with the results I got on a chance. I would highly recommend these and I may even consider more in the future.

Looks and works well so far. Feel Solid
