Picked up a kastking legend baitcaster last week for shits and grins to checkout the hype on their high spec/low cost reels. Tried it out Friday and liked it so much I ordered their acclaimed 'sharky' spinner. Anyone else have an opinion on their stuff?

update: tried the sharky out, smooth as silk until the main shaft nut came loose, tightened the nut and used it the rest of the day ok.

update 6/21/2017- legend baitcaster still good so I picked up a stealth for my frog stick, so far so good. sharky II still good so I picked up a mela II- arrived with the spring off the anti-reverse switch that I fixed, feels good but yet to test.

I bought a Mela spinning reel for my grandson. Haven't used it yet, but it seems solid. Been using their braid for a couple years.

I have two different models of their spinners. Both have been great, no problems.
