Loaded it with 80 lb. test braided line. Excellent combo for casting heavy lures. Best feature is that the line guide moves on the cast which keeps the line wound on the spool neatly. I also have a Kast King 50 but this is a 60 and comes with a power handle that is good for retrieving heavy lures. Review: Rover!! Black!! 50L - I just received this in the mail today!!! I’m excited to use it! The Rover series reels are pure workhorses! If you can fine tune them, there’s almost nothing that you can’t reel in! I spooled it with 25lbs test, braid, Reaction tackle (camo). I fish saltwater. I have two of the red ones, bought them about three years ago. I don’t always wash out my reels off after fishing (and sometimes drinking🤣). I have dropped them, banged them up, and they just don’t break. Which an occasional deep clean and greasing/oiling. Built like tanks! So it’s safe to say that these upgraded black ones will work the same. I added some pics of the handle replacements I used, and a pic of the salt corrosion on my 40L. In total I have the 40L and 60L in red. Now the 50L in black. The differences that I like the most: It’s black, and most importantly- Kastking listened to consumers (I know I complained my tail off) and upgraded the handle/knob!!!! There’s no need to buy a handle replacement, this one is solid, sturdy and ready for a fight!! For anyone that has the issue with the older models where it feels like you can’t tighten tensioner knobs anymore - I actually cut out a piece of plastic from a water bottle the size of the metal square inside the spool tensioner knobs (like a spacer in between the rubber and metal square) and it helped out big time! Easier to adjust, for casting and such. The knob on the handle side is to adjust the spool so it’s aligned in the middle of the reel, and the knob that is the “brakes” is for controlling your cast more. Both are tensioners either way.. hope that makes sense! The drag works as it should, adjust accordingly. Can’t wait to use my new black rover!!! ## Features - Bullet Proof - The KastKing Rover round baitcasting reel has been reinforced with thicker hard anodized aluminum side plates, CNC machined spool, precision cut brass gears, all alloy flawless level wind, industry-first stainless steel worm gear, patented metal idle gear, stainless steel shaft and other components for superior durability and corrosion protection. - More Powerful - You will love the stronger, more powerful KastKing Rover round baitcasting reel with a superior carbon fiber drag system.

Easy to clean and maintain. Casting is ok and the line alarm is decently loud. Quality assurance may be a factor when you first get it but customer service and the warranty is good and easy to work with to resolve any issues. Detailed review: This reel is currently in use with my normal catfish rigs. When I first received the reel it worked well out of the box. I was able to land some decent size fish while dragging bottom in my boat. However, halfway through my first trip with it I noticed the reel started to lock up when in free spool. I believe it had something to do with the anti-reverse gear. I reached out to customer support who took care of the issue by sending me a new reel and shipping was quick enough I was able to rig it and get it back into the lineup within a week or so. Since then I had no real issues with it. A deeper look... 1. Spool The spool is a smooth metal and has a metal level wind that works well and will not damage your line. You can use braid but I cant speak to the wear on the level wind eye as a result because I mostly use mono. I have had the level wind pop out of the track one time when I got a little careless reeling in a fish but was able to pop it back in no problem using my thumb. The spool is able to hold a good amount of line for any kind of fishing you would be wanting to do. I use the 60 series and tend to troll long lines (100-300ft) and I have yet to get close to being spooled when catfishing. For some of the bigger saltwater species the 60 may be small but that's why you can upgrade to the 80 or 90 series. The reel has 2 spool tension knobs on either side of the reel. In my experience the tension knob under the drag is set well to keep the spool center for the level wind. I use the tension knob on the other side with the numbers to adjust the spool tension. When casting heavy baits/lures you may need to thumb the spool down an inch or so you truly release the spool from the anti-reverse gear. It's not that big a deal for me but I can see this being a item that may wear out in the future. But in all truth you can see the same in higher end Abu Garcia reels. 2. Handle The new power handle that comes with the new rover series is a welcome change. Having used the older red models in the past (and still do) the first thing I would do is change out the stock handle to a power handle for more torque. Having these come stock with one is a welcome change in my eyes. It's not too cumbersome, has good balance and will not close the spool on a hard cast. 3. Drag The drag system is very good. It has no problem stopping a large fish run. The drag is decently smooth. The 30lbs in the 60 is more than enough for your typical catfish rig. 4. Line Alarm (Clicker) The clicker on this reel is decent. It's loud. It would be comparable to an Abu Garcia C3 series, maybe a little louder. It's more like a phone ringing on half volume. The gears that make up the clicker are made of plastic which isn't that big a deal since there isn't any load on it, but you need to be careful not to cast with the clicker on or you run the risk of it breaking. 5. Wear and tear The type of fishing I do can be really hard on reels and they can start to show wear pretty quickly. The Rover series does seem to be holding up well. I have been doing the best I can to keep it in working order by cleaning and lubing it every so often or after I take it to the salt. Even with regular cleaning I have noticed the reel building more resistance to casting when in free spool. The gears that are in contact with the spool when engaged remain touching the spool when in free spool and add drag thus reducing casting distance. It's not an egregious loss of distance but it is there. The other thing that I noticed wearing on the reel is the black paint. After a year of weekly trips to the water in ether a boat or on the bank I've started to notice the paint starting to chip away. It's purely cosmetic though and will not hinder the reels ability, but I wanted to bring it up in case someone wants style points on their setup. Conclusion I give this reel a 4/5 stars. It's a good reel for the price. This is a reel that I've really enjoyed using and currently have 2 actively on my rods ready to go. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/657526371-kastking-rover-round-baitcasting-fishing-reels-perfect-reel-for-catfish](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/657526371-kastking-rover-round-baitcasting-fishing-reels-perfect-reel-for-catfish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
