I bought a Picsifun Phantom 5.6oz casting reel normally $69.95 25% off on Amazon last winter and it is awesome. And I don’t just mean awesome for $52. It’s awesome for a $130 reel if it cost that much. Hardest reel I’ve found to backlash right out of the box, smooth, and probably the strongest drag of any reel at any price. Somehow Picsifun and KastKing are related but I don’t know how. I do like the KastKing rod holder I also bought on Amazon on sale.

ok Jr, I was in the same spot last year. I couldn't decide if i wanted to try kast king. Well I bit the bullet and got a killer deal on ebay. I got the demon(fastest reel) and the Stealth (lightest reel) for 92 bucks after i applied the christmas deals they had. A year later and they have been great. The Demon is a little bulky, but I can cast it farther then any other reel I own. It's perfect for fishing plastics and jigs deep b/c you can cast 100 yards and get it back in super fast with the 9:1 speed. The stealth is also a great reel. It didn't cast as far as the demon but it has done the job and it is much lighter.

glad you like the Phantom, they are great reels!

as a side note Piscifun and Kastking are not related, they are separate companies
