KastKing MegaJaws Prototype BFS Baitcasting Reel Testing - Casting Ultralight Lures

[@Voxguitarsrock]

I find the ability to throw light lures had a lot more to do with the rod than the reel. Tight lines!

[@rawrfishing]

I believe it is the two together. U cant cast without one another. Tight lines

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

Have you considered changing the spool bearings to AliExpress cheap hybrid ceramics .

[@rawrfishing]

I have a ton of em :P. My speed demon reel, my Royale Legend Elite and my Spartacus reel has em

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

@@rawrfishing Lol . Bought a couple of sets recently . One set said stainless steel hybric ceramics but was actually steel but had really good spin time . For $7.00 for a set they was a bargain . The second set i ordered was hybrid ceramics and the spin time was excellent . $11.00 the set . Both sets wiped the floor with my stock bearings . Even on my steez s . Trial and error but gems to be found my friend . Look foward to following your BFS journey !!!

[@rawrfishing]

@@elwooddestiny11blues20 I got mine from zoty bearings, I got their sales contact. 2 dollar a pop if get 10 of a specific size. Got 3 popular ones and I am set for life ^_^

Great video bro keep them coming can't wait to get a mega jaws BFS

[@rawrfishing]

Thanks man! Didn't wanna overload the casting but I know there will be changes. Hopefully we will get the best we can during the official release :)

[@damonguyton7552]

@@rawrfishing what a sweet reel. I love Kastking reels . Can't wait to get my hands on it. I've been waiting for an American BFS reel . Thanks Kastking !!!!

[@lilmanbullies4380]

Nice video keep them coming

[@rawrfishing]

definitely will! thx for watching

[@robertwade4748]

When and where can get my hands on one

[@rawrfishing]

KastKing will soon release their first BFS reel. Very soon, so stay tuned! I'll be once again to be first to show case it ;)

[@FishingFreshies]

That's Awesome!!

[@rawrfishing]

thx man! hopefully it will be released soon for everyone :)

[@vire559]

The result is pretty good but it is what i expected with that kind of a spool weight and doyo breaking system

[@rawrfishing]

yeah i think it will do. can't wait to test heavier lures for say ned rigging and jika rigging :)

[@vire559]

@@rawrfishing Those will be a good pair. But i don't get it why they sent you right handle reel when you reel with a left hand?

[@rawrfishing]

@@vire559 that was the one they made for the prototype. It was probably an afterthought on who could test it... lucky me to be chosen ;)

[@vire559]

New Subscriber. Sent here from THE REEL TEST. Looks like it might b a good offering. Keep us posted on what you find.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx my man! He was my source for this new fishing style, bfs! For this reel, it's not gonna happen. I gave them the no way if they wanted to get the trout folks. They will try something else next year they said that will be well better designed. They did say to me that I may get a shot at that prototype as well! So hopefully by spring ^_^

[@thien2934]

thanks for the review. would love you to guestimate the casting distance if possible. keep up the good work.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx man. Perhaps If they release the reel and I have. a left hand version. U have no idea how much I didn't enjoy the right hand reel lol

[@steveo201]

Hell yeah dude

[@rawrfishing]

can't wait for the next outing :)

[@nevahenuf]

Nice bullgill! Thanks for the BFS videos. I got my first combo on the way.

[@rawrfishing]

thanks and nice! what did u get?

[@nevahenuf]

I have a GH100 reel and the Ace Hawk CU double on the way. Hope I get in time for some fall slab fishing. I hope KastKing produces a bfs rod as well. I could see myself wanting their combo as well.

[@rawrfishing]

That's good! yeah i can't wait for fall fishing BFS for crappies and trout!

[@michaelgough9256]

Atomic Bean hi mate. How would the gh100 compare to this kast king?

[@rawrfishing]

@@michaelgough9256 to be honest, you can't compare a prototype reel w/ a already in production reel. the GH100 perform great if you get a good build. the QC on the GH100 is terrible. After 3 use i had to relube the entire thing. they barely lubed it and i feel like their grease were a bit too light. If you are good at taking apart reels and relubricating them, i would suggest the GH100 for now. THx for watching! :)

[@redfishrecon48]

I got a few kast king reels and rods, I think there well made and good for the money. That reel have stainless steel bearings?

[@rawrfishing]

I got a bunch lol.. the original MegaJaws does have stainless steel bearings, double shielded. but unfortunately i don't have the full specs for this reel. likely it will be :)

[@sgtpavlov]

Looks good. So the breaks are strong enough on this reel? That's what it looked like, so long as you set the breaks to the correct number.

[@rawrfishing]

So far I think its sufficient, but you have to set it relatively high. 7.5 and up where 9 is max.

[@EddieLindsay681]

Not a KastKing Guy but the reels looks to be ok 👍🏼

[@rawrfishing]

lol thanks man! it's pretty slick lookin

[@FishyAngler]

Ha ha Jimmy. Everyone trying to catch bigger fish and you are going more and more finesse...😁 Bait fish fishing? 😂

[@rawrfishing]

oh heck yeah! some folks feel like they need to catch big fish to accomplish something. that's not me! enjoying the outdoors and reading the waters!

[@haziqbakedfish2082]

Fishy Angler having a bfs setup, fighting a big fish is way better then having a medium setup. I had a ultralight spinning setup with 6lbs main line and 9lbs leader caught a 15lbs fish.

[@gizmocarr3093]

I surprised to see you using a right-hand retrieve that must make using the reel more difficult for testing when you are use to a left-hand reel. The reel seems on par with reels in the same affordable price range. The only problem is without a left-hand model testing it is never going to make you happy with the results.

[@rawrfishing]

It's interesting when someone asks you are you right or left handed and i told them I am right handed, so they send me a right hand retrieve reel.... what the? I cast with my right and I hold rod with my right so i can impart motion to my lures.. reeling it in doesn't take skills to make u use your dominant hand! at least what's how i feel... but u know what, it was a free reel to test and give feedback.

[@vire559]

@@rawrfishing Well.. Word of wisdom from an oldies: bad things happen but you'll get a worthy price in the end.

[@929cosmodude]

i think when kastking send out a reel to be reviewed by a youtuber , they go through a bit of quality control, im my experience it is very hit and miss what you get, kastking are happy to refund or send another for 5 star feedback, hopefully they get their act together and do a bit of quality control

[@rawrfishing]

This isn't a review. This is a prototype test. What you have described is the same for any vendors on amazon. Anyone who want to do a business that needs to be backed up by customers reviews would do that. At least any company in mind who want to provide quality customer service.

[@929cosmodude]

@@rawrfishing yeh man not saying it is a review, but after watching video after video on youtube "not by yourself" i bought 6 kastking reels, felt my older reels need an update, anyway 5 of the 6 had issues either straight out of the box or within 2 weeks offishing them, it makes me wonder if the ones that get sent out to youtubers are of a different standard to the ones to the public because i don't think that they were giving a dishonest review, just they had well made reels sent to them, i have now sold all of my kastkings besides one and bought mainly brandname reels aswell as some off ali express recently, i just recieved a seaknight treant 2 that im very impressed with so far ,and am waiting on an xf50 bfs reel. Kastking are providing affordable fishing gear which is great but have very little quality control..

[@rawrfishing]

@@929cosmodude that's very interesting. You see, KastKing only have sent this Prototype reel. Every single other products I have ordered came directly from Amazon. I don't think they would be able to control what gets sent out. Personally I have not gotten any issues with any of my KastKing products. But that is my experience. I am sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you will enjoy the XF50 as it is one of my favorite reels!

[@929cosmodude]

@@rawrfishing Yeh I am in australia, maybe the ones sent out to Asia pacific area are different, not sure, but a work friend bought one as well as another fishing friend bought two of them, all had issues, I can't wait till the xf50, I seem to be having good luck with seaknight tsurinoya so far 😀

@@929cosmodude it could be different. I have no comments how processes are over seas. Best of luck and tight lines
