I am in LOVE with this rod. I have ADHD, so if one little thing is "off" about something I buy, it ends up hated and languishing in a dark closet somewhere. NO WAY. First, the color is drop-dead gorgeous. It's nicely balanced and lightweight. When you slide this thing together, it's NOT coming apart on you. Lots of guides result in a nice, smooth cast - into the next county. Seriously. Pair this with the right reel, and you can land a frog on the beach in Hawaii from San Francisco. Okay, maybe not that far. (Maybe halfway) It's got a sensitive enough tip that you can feel even the slightest thump on your lures, but has enough backbone to haul a Rottweiler through your second floor apartment window. (No, I didn't do it, nor do I recommend it. This will land you in a heap of trouble). Right now, I have a crappy reel on it and I still am in love. I have a good reel arriving tomorrow, and once I get that, I might never need to date again, this is all the love I'll ever need. Granted, I've only been using it a few days, so I might amend this glowing review. But so far, so good. So, so good...

The rod is great, color is awesome and it light weight and sensitive for fishing for bass. The handle has a nice grip on it that’ll last and has a comfortable grip to it. I feel it’s a great value for the money and is now one of my favorite rods.

Rod is very well built with great components. My only issue is it isn’t even close to being a Heavy action. KastKing notoriously has softer than advertised rod flexes and this one is the same. Great rod, but it’s definitely a MH and not a H.

I was unsure of the purple to be honest but after receiving this rod and fishing with it for a few days, I can tell you that it's very nice in hand and really nice to look at. The hook keeper on the side works well. Great action on the rod and I've been able to pull in a few goods ones on it already. Value is on point as well.

I own and use several Kast King bait casters, the Speed Demon was my last purchase and I loved the reel but never owned any rods until now. I love the unique color pattern, weight, hook keeper and feel of this rod. Against my typical preference, I decided to buy a multi-piece rod for easier travel, and I’m glad I did, I was looking for a compact solition I could throw into my work truck and this rod seems to fit the bill in terms of size, quality and value. Really happy with this rod so far!

The chameleon color makes the rod look purple or blue depending on which way the light shines on it. It has the perfect balance between a strong stirdy back bone, while having just the right amount of flex for casting out far. I've caught several oversize redfish and black drum on it so and handed the fight and weight of the fish like a champ. Biggest black drum on this so far was about 49". It also has really good sensitivity for small fish and those sensitive bites you can sometimes get from slow eating and sketchy fish. Absolutely great value for the money. The guides are also very good. My only gripe about this rod is the plastic hook holder on the reel seat vs the normal wire hook holder attached into the rod, makes the hook slip out easy at times.

rodi am a big fan of the grips on this rod. It is great for what I use it for, bass fishing. Used it from the kayak and the bank a lot this season, with a few diff reels on it, and it has handled each situation with ease.I highly recommend this rod. Very good rod at an awesome price.

I recently added the KastKing Royale Legend Pro rod to my angling arsenal. I chose the casting Crankbait 7' M Moderate version from the 13 on offer. I wanted a little more backbone than my other rods had. This rod certainly has the backbone due to its multi-layer construction. But what has surprised me is just how sensitive it is. I can feel every bump, rock etc, on the bottom of my favorite lake. It is every bit as good as any of my other rods. Then too, I found its casting accuracy to be exceptional. I want accuracy even more than distance in my casting. But with this rod mounted with a KastKing Speed Demon Elite reel, I had both. This is my first rod with the micro style K-Frame guides. They too have lived up to my expectations. No tangles with KastKings braided line. I have not tried fluorocarbon yet. I shall probably do so in the near future. One more observation, this rod is incredibly light for its backbone and length. I would say that it is even lighter than my ultra light Ugly Stick. And that is saying something. All in all, I can highly recommend this rod. In fact, with its numerous potential styles, it just might be the only rod brand you will need for your own personal angling arsenal.
