KastKing Royale Legend II Twin Tip Fishing Rod and Reel Combos, Spinning & Casting Combo, IM6 Graphite 2Pc Blanks, Extra Backup Tip Section, Stainless-Steel Guides, KastFlex Technology, EVA Handles

KastKing Royale Legend II Twin Tip Fishing Rod and Reel Combo Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5) I’ve used the KastKing Royale Legend II Twin Tip Fishing Combo on multiple trips now, and it’s a versatile, well-designed setup. Here's my experience with it: Rod Performance (5/5): The IM6 graphite blank is lightweight but strong, offering excellent sensitivity for detecting subtle bites. The inclusion of a backup tip is a fantastic feature—it’s like having two rods in one. Switching between tips lets me adapt to different fishing styles, from finesse presentations to casting heavier lures. KastFlex technology truly shines in providing a solid backbone for handling larger fish. Reel Performance (4.5/5): The reel operates smoothly, with a consistent drag system that’s more than capable of handling both freshwater and light saltwater species. The casting distance is impressive, and it retrieves smoothly even under pressure. However, the reel's handle could feel slightly more robust for larger hands. Durability and Build Quality (5/5): The stainless-steel guides with ceramic inserts allow for smooth line flow and reduce friction, which is great for braided and monofilament lines. The EVA handles are ergonomic, offering a firm and comfortable grip even after hours of fishing. The overall build quality feels premium and durable, even when used in challenging conditions. Versatility (5/5): This combo excels in its adaptability. I’ve used it for bass fishing in freshwater and light inshore fishing for redfish and trout. The twin-tip design allows me to adjust to different setups without carrying multiple rods, making it perfect for anglers who value portability and convenience. Value for Money (4/5): For the price, you’re getting a high-quality rod and reel combo that performs well across various scenarios. The twin-tip feature adds value, but a slightly sturdier reel handle and more drag adjustment options could elevate it further. Conclusion: The KastKing Royale Legend II Twin Tip Combo is a versatile and reliable choice for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you're chasing bass in freshwater or trying your hand at light saltwater fishing, this combo offers the performance and adaptability you need. Highly recommended for those seeking a lightweight, travel-friendly option with excellent sensitivity and power. --- This review provides

Update 9/29/25 KastKing sent me a free replacement rod and reel. Great customer service. I am anxious to get out and see how it performs. Original Review: From all appearances this is a beautiful rod and reel combo, but looks can be deceiving. The rod snapped on the first outing setting the hook on descent fish. Makes sense when they ship is with two tips because then are junk. I do a lot of backcountry fishing and this is not a rod durable enough to trust at a municipal pond. I returned this rod and the other Kastkings rod I ordered. The reel is quite nice, but I can’t help but wonder how long it would stay that way given the performance of the rod. Love their sunglasses though.

I recently got back into fishing, i decided i wanted to try a bait caster reel out, and i have been extremely happy with this budget set up. Even being a beginner to bait casting reels this one was easy to get the hang of, i used it throughout the summer and fall without issues, never having to replace my nice braided line. smooth casting much further than any of my spinning reels, with great accuracy. The rod itself has been sturdy through all of my abuse, and has great sensitivity for detecting bites. Couldn't be happier for a cheap combo, and would highly recommend it to any beginner or experienced fisherman.

good，works very well

Its a good rod and reel combo for the money. I liked mine, so I bought a second one for my son. It casts well and reels in smooth. The rod has decent action. One word or warning though, the tips can break fairly easily, but they do include a spare tip.

I was a bit skeptical due to the low price (compared to similar products from other big names), and I had never used or purchased KastKing before. I've been an active angler for more than 40 years, but have always defaulted to the two "SH" brands. I was going on a trip to the Sierra lakes and needed a ML 3000 freshwater combo last minute and this fit the bill. I was MORE than pleasantly surprised. Although I didn't land anything bigger than about 1lb, the rod is an excellent balance of power and finesse. The reel is like silk and cast distance is amazing. I am thinking about getting the M-weight / 3000 version just to have on hand, even though I already have a PENN 3500. For the price, I just don't see how you can beat the performance/value. The shipping packaging is basically indestructible, and the spare rod tip just seals the deal. BTW - I put about 300Y of 12wt braid and a 10' (10#) FC leader on it, which seems to work great. The only minor complaint I have is that none of the sizing seems consistent. The table on Amazon site says one thing (8-17lb), the literature that comes with the rod (tag, etc) says something else, and the labeling printed on the rod itself says a third thing. Doesn't impact me, because 10-12# works regardless, but it may make it difficult for some folks to differentiate or choose between ML or M.

When looking for beginning baitcaster reels many sites recommended this for a budget friendly option. Because I am right handed I made sure to get a right hand reel, granted the price difference is $20 (which I don't understand why) I still made sure to get what I needed. Packaging for the rod and reel came very well protected, rod was inside a tube with both tips while the reel was in a box wrapped at the bottom inside a giant packing box. The unfortunate thing I did not like was the fact there was no packing in the box to truly protect it. Granted my purchase wasn't damaged but others may be. Getting the settings right didn't take to long and the bait glides without any issues. Will I recommend to others, yes I would, will I look into other rods and reels, when the time comes I will also.

If it's KastKing, you know its quality. I own rods, reels, tackle bags, pliers and even filet knives. This is my first freshwater setup from them and as usual, it's a great product. Very well built, super sensitive rod and a reel smoooooth like butter. The twin tip is an excellent idea, I'm rough with my rods so having an extra tip around helps a lot. I can't recommend this enough, I love it.
