By the way, the handle is aluminum. Probably because the same color paint as the graphite body make you think it's graphite. lol

For the Sharky III, Negative.

I bought 2 of the 6000 sharky III baitfeeders and I gotta say, I have no complaints whatsoever. They have handled up to 40lb carp, which are hard fighting freshwater fish, with no problem! Love my reels.

Really thorough! Awesome work! 🤙🏾 Will definitely consider this reel now

Very nice review. Hitting on important features and hands on info. Honest opinions.

Got this reel about when you put the vid up very reliable and one of my favorite whipping reels.

Nice thorough review. Good pors and cons. I haven't surf fished, yet, but the line capacity seems to me to be okay. Great value reel.

Mahalo for the support. You freshwater fish mainly? The Sharky III would have more than plenty for that application I think. Thanks for sharking your thoughts.

I have been using mine for 5 years now, on a big river, still works like it was new. It is crazy, at this price range!! The quality of a premium Shimano reel

Just ordered a 4000 bait runner. Looking forward to trying it out.

this reel is a good reel for the price point. the 5000 size of this reel managed to pull in a summers worth of Salmon in Alaska, even a 30lb King Salmon. My only complaint is that Okuma Ceymar is in this same price point and holds up to the challenging conditions of glacier silt or a rocky/sandy beach and salt water and fresh glacier water. My Sharky 3 needed full maintenance before the summer was over. The Okuma reel lasted 3 years before I even considered any maintenance to the reel. But the reel has not let me down when I have hooked up to any of my fish.

Hi, can used this with Ugly Stik GX2 4pc 6'6" medium rod? Gonna be my first set up

Yea I seen lots of reviews on the kastking REELS a while back but now I'm seeing lots of update reviews where the REELS gears do not stand up they stop working for lots of the big fishing channel that fish everyday with them. they seem to last about 6 months or so. I was wondering if yours is still working for you? And if so how often do you use it? I want to buy a speed demon so bad but a little scared of the gears giving out. Great video and god bless you my friend

I noticed the reel handle is on the left, can it be removed and placed on the right side or would that be something of a special order?

How do you move the handle on the reel as one side seems geared and the other doesn't? The shaft of the handle doesn't seem to fit into the other side of the reel, am I missing something here?

You can get the KK in a 6000 model now w/ baitrunner feature.

its missing the rubber washer under the drag tensioner that my sharky II has...so water can get into this one. Can you please measure stuff that you talk about like the main shaft instead of saying 20% bigger, would be a great help.

I heard the Eagle Viliant is better. Especially the new Bold version. Thoughts?

Which size should I get for whipping for papios but would also be good for aweoweo or menpachi?

I'm wondering if u can put a fatter knob on it? That would be sweet. For more line I would do 30-to 40lb braid

Nicely done. Just a thought, the smaller line capacity can be negated by putting heavier line on and letting the heavy drag fight the fish :)

Aloha Kapono, mahalo nui for the great review, very nice reel for the money. Question: Iʻm pākē to da max so Iʻm thinking about getting the Kastking Centron 300 9+1 ball bearings reel for $25.98. You have any experience with this reel. I think I told you before but love you guys videos because you fish one of my old stompimg grounds from 35+ years back. Used to fish, dive, and even hunt goats between Kiholo Bay and Kawaihae back in da dazes. Ever hike down to Pololū Valley and whip the surf? Good grounds at least back then. I miss the Big Island. Keep up the great work! Aloha a hui hou, Ahnko

I hear this is a good spinning reel BUT the week point on the reel is the neck of the reel. is the neck graphite? Its been told that when landing a large fish the neck gives a bit and it doesn't feel sturdy. I would assume you wouldn't want no give at all. i am looking into my first saltwater reel so i am doing a lot of looking around.

the 5000 is strong enough for catfish without the shaft becoming crooked?

Damn son. I have had a sharky baitfeeder for 2 years now and so far the only thing thats shown wear is the paint. Fantastic reel, insanely smooth.. One can argue TO smooth. When i first got it i switch from a black max and had trouble positioning my bale for casting.. I would always go too far and since it was literally anti reverse i couldnt back it up any.. So far the biggest fish its caught is a 35 pound blue cat on freakin 20lb mono, the drag is top notch. The reel size is 30

which kind of rods would you pair this real with?

Can you use this reel if you like reeling with your right hand not your left

I've been using the KastKing green 20 LB braid line back bay fishing catching bluefish and it's a surprisingly good quality line, for a low price.I recently bought the New Conflict II 5000 composite reel made by Penn and to my disappointment the CNC gears in those reels lost their smoothness in a short time and they buzz & vibrate through the reel on the retrieve. This Sharky is a light composite reel and resembles the Daiwa BG 4000 air rotor reel, I saw other reviews on KZread for the Sharky III stating the reel is water resistant, and that the gears are very smooth I can't sample the reel because it's not sold over the counter, are the gears smooth ? I'd like your opinion on how the gears feel on retrieve with this reel. So far I'm getting a good bang for the buck for KastKing braid, it casts far and I've been casting tin lures on the surf in the back bay catching big bluefish like crazy for the past week with no wind knots the line boke in a little and it feels and casts better every time I use it. I've been checking out rave reviews for this reel by other guys rating the Sharky III on KZread it looks like a reel that I would actually enjoy fishing with. THKS....

I can get a Penn Fierce II 4000 for $58 from the NEX at Pearl Harbor, so exact same price. Which should I get?

Mahalo nui loa! Appreciate the support a lot :D

Always manually close my bales regardless, because it wears out the tripping mechanism when you close it using the crank handle.

The reel is fantastic and I highly recommend buying one of these reels. The only problem that was also covered In this video was the drag cap. When I took my drag cap off I wasn’t able to put it on correctly the first time which negated the ability for my drag system to work. After I learnt how to snap it back into place there is and was never any issues with this reel. I’ve had the reel for 3 years now using it on all kinds of salmon. This reel is a 4.5 star out of 5 for price point.

Is there a small bearing on the main shaft.

is the line roller bearings of the reel sealed ?

review that old daiwa reel you have on the dunking rod, old but gold :D

Will the bail arm hold against 39lbs of drag?

Which is better the Sharky3 baitfeeder or This?

I'm new to saltwater fishing.. And I found so far that saltwater fishing gear is much more expensive than freshwater... do you think that this reel can be my universal reel with target on fish like catfish/carp/pike/trout on freshwater and for barracuda/amberjack/bluefish saltwater? Because KastKing definitely have the best prices on market.

You should try going for some big Omilu's and GT's to see how that reel handles it! Then it will really be put to the test! But solid looking reel overall

Good vid King Kapono! Informational commentary so good u made me pick up a Sharky 3 3000 size! just spooled it up yesterday with 20 lb kastking superpower braid.One thing I noticed though, I bot a150 yard braid spool and filled up the reel spool up to 1/8th inch from edge as you guys recommend, but still had a lot of line leftover on the braid spool, is that normal?the specs say it should take 219 yards of 20lb braid, but there is still 20 yards leftover on the braid spool which would mean the reel only took 130 yards? is this common?

@ShakaFishing

4 жыл бұрын

You can run it a bit closer to the lip of the spool. The closer you get the more likely it seems to me that the line can get bird nested during retrieval for most reels. If the spool says 219 it should take about that much. You brought up a great point though, I have never actually measured our any of my reels and seen if the claims line up to reality.

@ShakaFishing

Are you sure it says 150 yards of braid.

@mytwinbabies1

4 жыл бұрын

Yeppers Sir! confirming it was 150 yards KK brand braid spool. This all started when I first spooled in 70 yards of 8 lb mono as backing (following KK's published reel capacity specs >>> 20lb/220yds for braid = 8lb/220yds for mono, so 220 capacity less the 150 braid means I need 70 yds mono). Putting in 70 yds of mono already placed me near the halfway mark of the reel so it was obvious there was no way I can put in another 150 yards. I tossed out the mono and just spooled the braid directly and still got leftover. Much mahalos!

Got the 3000 for my trip next week!

quick question, i just recently bought a sharky 3 5000 and like mentioned in this video whenever i try to get the bail to close automatically it sticks but unlike yours in the video mine never gets set back down by itself. do i have a defective unit? i have tried opening the reel and re aligning the bail spring but nothing seems to work.

Is it only me or this reel has spool issues. Very heavy at bottom and line don't spool even. Line gets stuck in between the braid ready rubber and spool too. Need advise

Hey nice video, thank you! because the drag can withstand almost 40lbs, does that mean the rod needs to be rated for at least 40lbs?

The should be a medium to medium heavy if you are using it for dunking wit this reel. Honestly anything rated above 20# should be fine with proper rod use. Let the reel fight the fish and use the rod to boost only.

So to be clear I can buy their rods that’s rated for 8-14 line wt.(lbs) and put a 20# braided line and be just fine as long as it’s rated for medium to medium heavy? Of course using this same reel. Just wanna know what kind of rod to get. I want a 6’6” for kayak fishing both lake and salt water but I am confused when the rod is rated at medium with a max line wt of 14. What does that mean for the line # I choose? And what is the max line # of the reel? Can you simplify for me please? Thank you! Xoxo

@ucingacia0

6 жыл бұрын

Kali M. 8-14 line weight means to withstand 8-14lbs force while fish is fighting basicly if a fish weight is 8lbs it can turn into more than its weight it while resisting .. that could almost double the weight depends on how powerful fish type u get.. so if u think fish gonna be max at 8lbs then that is the perfect line wt rod, so think of the 1st number resemble the target fish weight and if u hav to fight fish more than ur max line wt rod means u need to know how to release high tension while fightin the fish or u could play the drag on the reel if its too strong it will scream spooling
