- Cast Testing Review of KastKing MegaJaws Elite Shallow Spool Baitcasting Reel. How well can it cast? I am exploring their AMB Braking system to see how it behaves and see if it's a good budget dynamic braking reel. Retailed at 129.99, will this be comparable to Daiwa Tatula 100, retailing at 179.99? Note the legacy Tatula 100 is being sold at 129.99 too, wink!
Reel was Purchased on Amazon (afil Link)

Jimbo from what all I’ve learned from you I owe you a major thank you. I was able to help someone today that was about to throw away a new Gekkibijin and the Kestrel BFS rod. He had messed with the side tension knob. I reset it for him and showed him how to cast it. And today was a great day on the water. We caught 67 Crappie on our BFS gear. Brother hope that you and the family are doing great and keep those lines tight.
That is amazing! I am so happy to hear that! Your fishing buddy must be thrilled now too! Sounds like there will be many more fun trips to come! Send your friend over to my channel if he wanna learn more! :)
@@rawrfishing brother I already have sent him. While we were on the water he ordered three Ark Gravity. I told him you had videos on how to set them up and to get his rods from BFE. He told me when I can he wants me to help him order the correct rods for crappie fishing. So again thank you.
Oh wow! 3 ark Gravity bfs reels? He's going deep into bfs lol. Which rods will he be getting?
Nice work Jim-bo
Thx! Wished it did better for lighter lures at a max spool. But for 3/8th Oz and up, it is not bad
Very good indepth info for that reel. Love the casting vids. But can't wait for the fishing to get into full swing for those vids cabin fever setting in. Be blessed. My friend.
Thank you, I appreciate it! I got some nice winter catches last weekend. Just need to edit. Just clearing up the queue as I need to make room for spring catches lol
That $250 can be better spent exploring another reel or upcoming release. The Mg12 has the same AMB braking system but they claim it has high speed spool bearings.
Yeah but the spool supposed to be smaller and lighter for the mg12. Who knows... I will see what the rest of the other ppl wanna see too. Worst case scenario... Return and call it done haha!
Спасибо за обзор в действии катушки,теперь можно сделать определëнные выводы!👍🤝
You are welcome, thx for watching!
The MG12 is definitely the sweet spot if you’re tossing lighter lures. I own regular megajaws elite and can toss a 1/4oz lure just fine. With that said I prefer fishing my MG12 for any lure under 3/8oz. I’ll be picking this megaJaws up tho.
If u are referring to the older MJ elite, that reel was better than this one here. Didn't do 8.6 g as portrayed with a near full spool. I will be returning this reel.
Perhaps I may give mg12 a shot, but at that price, Daiwa reels would be a better choice!
@@rawrfishing yeah the original megajaws elite. I think you’re having an issue with your open box reel! Maybe do an exchange and test it out again. I feel like the MG12 should be $199.99 but it’s literally my favorite reel I’d spend $250.00 on another one.
The reel should be fine. I assessed it in every way possible and it didn't seem used or abused In a way that would cause any issues.
250 dollars, I would recommend going to www.digitaka.com to buy JDM reels at amazing prices due to current currency conversion! You just won't get the warranty support... Which is not really needed for Daiwa or Shimano!
@@rawrfishing I’m going to buy the magajaws elite purple edition we will call it and report back. Now you have me curious lol tight lines man 🤙🏼
Cool! Enjoy the reel! It isn't bad, just wasn't good for what I wanted it it do!
My boy, you back with KastKing?
Nope! I am not with em. Everything here by my own dollars and I am free to say what ever I want! :).
If anything, KK is anti Jimbo!
@@rawrfishing l thought you are back, 3 KK videos in a row now. Hehehe..
Yeah right? I doing it for good reasons! I wanna see how things are doing what em and see if I could amend some bad blood. But two reels, 1 bad review and one mixed review... I doubt they would ever wanna work with me again haha..
@@rawrfishing on an engineering standpoint bad reviews are better as we can improve our designs (as per Kaisen) it was supposed to be helpful... but anyway, their lost bro not yours.
Absolutely! Thank you for understanding! I know Tate Cui knows this as he welcomed my feedback. But when the company corporation grew.. The jungle got messy and their marketing team hates me. His hands are tied now and can't do anything for me... Sucks but it is what it is!
Thanks for the reel i had been looking at that reel to put on my jig setup where i throw 3/8 and 1/4 oz jigs but for $129 i will pass
Definitely costly, but if ur using 1/4 jigs, once a plastic is on, it should do okay.
Do know that the older generation Daiwa Tatula 100 is being sold at 129.99 at most places to push out old version as the new one is now out at 179.99! I saw it on TW, DT and Scheels!
@@rawrfishing I used to be a big fan of kast king my first baitcaster was a kast king in my opinion I think if the would have stayed in the price point of $50 to $80 I think they could have really taken advantage of that market but when they moved up to over $100 I don't think they can compete with dawia and Shimano but that is just my opinion
You are right! As much as they wanna break out of the affordable innovation perception with higher priced reels, so far every one I have owned was a miss.
Hello I'm from India we fish mostly fish for snakehead fish with soft weedless frog in the lake and we use mostly 1/2 ounce frogs and we miss many strikes because the 1/2 ounce is to big for them we need to use like 1/4ounce but we can't able to cast further we use cheap Chinese bait casting reels can you suggest bearings or any tips to cast further for 1/4 ounce frogs please im using seasir megacuda reel its a deep spool because we need to use heavy line. Because we are frogging we cant go lighter line
1/4 oz should be easily casted using the Daiwa Salamandura SV TW 70!
You can try ceramic hybrid bearing for your reels. Might help, but I don't know anything about the reel you are using.
Slx mgl 70 should do it as well!
@@rawrfishing can't able to buy any other reels the one I have is going to be use for long time so asked
I don't know much of that reel. So if you don't already have ceramic hybrid bearings swapped for the spool, you can try that first.
@@rawrfishing which one do you recommend
I don't have any specific recommendations. Just find the generic orange sealed ones on Aliexpress that fits your reel
It works better with 30 lb braid.
Thicker line depletes faster, so it usually do, but the draw back is that you cast shorter distance.
