New Compact Design - KastKing Royale Legend Series has been anglers’ favorite bait casters since 2014. Royale Legend II Baitcasting Reels are totally redesigned for comfort and super performance! It’s a compact-size low-profile baitcaster fishing reel combined with a concealed side cover release that makes the reel comfortable even after thousands of casts during a day of fishing.
Legacy Carry-On And Beyond – The new Royale Legend II casting reel has carried the legacy and set a new bar for performance and durability. For the first time, KastKing implements the double bearing supported pinion gear technology to a Royale Legend II reel, that delivers a 35% increase in smoothness under load compared to the original Royale Legend. This new design structure increases durability by an astounding 30%.
Faster And Lighter - Royale Legend II provides faster gear ratios than the previous models. The new 5.4:1 gear ratio model is perfect for crankbaits or slower presentations, while the 7.2:1 gear ratio model that quickly picks up fishing line at 29.8” per turn is great for pitching jigs or burning baits at high speed. Compact design also saves weight for Royale Legend II, making it just 7.2oz, which is lighter than most of graphite side covers and frame casting reels available today.
Stronger - KastKing’s new Royale Legend II casting reels are equipped with an extra-hard stainless steel main shaft, Hamai precision machined brass gears, diamond-shaped ceramic line guide and CNC aluminum spools for strength and durability. Combine those high-end features with a quadruple disc carbon drag that delivers a fishing-stopping 17.6 lbs of drag in baitcasting reels available today.
Cross-Fire Magnetic Braking System- To avoid time-consuming and frustrating overruns and backlashes, the new Royale Legend II fishing reels include a newly designed, dynamic magnetic braking system with 8 magnetic buttons, compared to only 5 or 6 on most other reels. Royale Legend II’s ten-level adjustable braking system eliminates casting issues while maximizing casting distance and fishing line control in windy conditions. Say goodbye to overruns and hello to more fish in the boat.

Title: Great reel, especially for this price
Review: My reel arrived on time and was packaged well.Earlier this year I wanted to get a BFS reel and bought my first KastKing. Because of the low price I was very surprised how well it performed straight out of the box and how well it handled a season of fishing. That made it an easy decision to go with them again when it came time to upgrade the baitcaster on my medium setup.Again, I was impressed straight from the box.1. Smooth casting. Not only did I have controlled casts with heavier jigs but I was able to get good distance with my light floating jerkbaits. I was even able to cast some of my ultralight lures that I use on the BFS!2. Easy to adjust so changing lure sizes is quick.3. Sturdy but with a low profile. It is a good size if you plan on throwing baits all day.Another small thing that I like is that the spool is easy to remove.and lock.back in place. There is a release lever (shown in second pick) so no fumbling with screws or other removable pieces.

Title: Great baitcasting reel at a good price
Review: I used this reel most of the season throwing different lighter spinners and crankbaits. The reel is still just as smooth and solid as the first day I used it. My other reels I have used are Abu Garcia Revo's which are also very nice reels but not anywhere close in the same price range. I often fish rivers and streams from my kayak and I am not a big fan of using very high end stuff from the kayak incase of any unforeseen occurrences. The higher dollar equipment stays on my big boat. With that said I did fish at least once a week from start of Spring through end of Summer from my kayak using this reel and a couple other Kast King models. Of the 3 models this one did seem to perform better for me. All 3 models were within $10 of each other. One of them was a lower gear ratio for deeper diving crankbaits.My 16 year old son has really just started taking an interest in fishing and he was able to use this caster with very little trouble also. After helping him adjust it correctly to the lure he was throwing, he was able to cast it accurately and at a good distance pretty quickly. If you are looking for a solid well performing bait caster and you don't have an unlimited budget, I would recommend checking this one out.

Title: First baitcaster and it's great
Review: After I got used to it and got the settings right it works like a charm. Caught 50+ fish on it in first few months. Well constructed and operates easy. Just learn how to cast them and adjust them or none of them will work for you. This was my first one and I figured it out pretty quick. Would buy brand again. Great price.

Title: KastKing is a refreshingly solid company and these reels are surprisingly feature-rich for the price
Review: Bought three KadtKing reels over the past 6 weeks, two Royale II bait casters and a Royale II Spinning reel. One of the casters started to skip before the spool would turn after casting. Called service (here in USA with native English support staff) and was told it was a known, industry-wide issue with a spring and covered under warranty. It was also within Amazon’s return window so I opted to go that route as it was a bit quicker.These reels are great-smooth casting and retrieval, indexed drag and spool tension adjustments, solid magnetic braking and comfortable handles. Coupled with a great company and friendly customer service, I’m buying KastKing unless any of these things change dramatically for the worse.

Title: Easy to use, casts great, very few back lashes
Review: I love this reel. I have several older, but high quality, casting reels, so, I thought I'd try a modern one and see how it works. Functionally, it compares well to my older top of the line reels, but does have fewer backlashes, even when I first started using it. My 7 year old grand son loved it, and had few problems using it, and that was the first time he's ever used a casting reels (or a 7'6" rod). He did get a few backlashes, but none serious. He'll be spoiled forever after using it. It's a very nice, easy to use, effective reel. I'm somewhat older, so, if I live another 20 years, I'll be able to better compare it to my decades older premium reels....but for now, I'm glad to have it.

Title: Best Baitcaster for the Money
Review: This reel is such a bargain. The bang for the buck is incredible. It casts a mile and doesn’t backlash once dialed in. It performs better than reels 3-4 times its price.Great looking and very comfortable in the hand. Not sure about durability but time will tell.

Title: Reduced backlash
Review: Bought my third reel to replace another brand that I simply could not get dialed in. This reel on the other hand, has been holding up well. I can throw bombs into the wind and rarely have any issues with backlash. the drag and brake just work and work well on a very budget friendly reel. Me likey 👍

Title: A lot of reel for the price
Review: I own a handful of Kast King reels, both spinning and baitcasters. All are very good reels for the price point. The Royale is no exception. Smooth action, well designed drag, satisfactory braking and acceptably robust for a “cheap” baitcaster. I do find, however, that the Royale, like my other Kast King baitcasters, fishes a little clunky, but nothing so detrimental that it affects its overall performance. Paired it w/a Shimano Clarus 6.10 MH rod and spooled it w/Kast King’s Superpower Silky 8 20 lb red braided line. Overall, a great, very bass-catching-friendly reel that more than gets the job done. Definitely recommend.Stephen BrownMonroe, Ga

Review: Very clean tidy finish, looks excellent, lovely looking bit of kit and it's as smooth as silk, not only on the retrieve but also in free spool, can't wait to get out and give it a go.
