   Best bang for your buck!
   This is my fourth KastKing reel and won’t be my last. Compared to similar reels in this price point from Diawa or Penn, there is no comparison. These reels are all metal, stainless bearings, sealed internals and they are serviceable and smooth as butter. This Golden Eagle was a gift for my brother-in-law and he loves it! Great look but more importantly great performance.

   Value
   Looked at a lot of reels at this price point. Features and specs were key. Materials, retrieval rate, drag, line capacity etc. Even held a few in my hand at the big box store . l liked the look, loved the name so, I got one. Have not been disappointed. Goldilocks IMO. I am not a professional fisherman, I spend my own hard earned money and simply enjoy fishing without gear related problems.

   Would of given a 5
   Would of given a 5 until I got the Mega Jaws. This reel is a real work horse! Great drag! very sturdy. But that mega jaws is smooth as butter.

   A budget reel that can handle both freshwater and inshore saltwater species.
   I was a skeptical when buying, but I have to say the Valiant Eagle spinning reel is a very good option if you want an affordable reel that will catch most freshwater and inshore saltwater species. The reel is fairly light, with generous spool capacity, a strong drag system, casts well and has a fast line retrieve. I use it in saltwater and give it a light freshwater spray rinse after each use. So far I have had zero issues. I have more expensive, premium brand reels that are smoother and quieter and will likely last longer, but those reels cost anywhere from $100 to $200. Although I do prefer my expensive reels, I have caught a lot of nice fish with the KastKing Valiant Eagle spinning reel and own three of them. The Valiant Eagle may not be a true 5 star reel compared to premium reels from the likes of Shimano, Daiwa, Penn and others, but among the budget reels offered on Amazon I rate it 5 stars, especially when on sale at around $35.

   Great value surprisingly smoother than my own for casing big baits. So far so good
   Smooth casing, even with large live baits. I’m casting whole live hearing with a 3 ounce and it handles it like a champ. Only had it one season but so far so good. Great value for the price so far

   Durability and use ability
   I have several eagle 2000s. I’m fairly avid fishermen and bought two. I thought they were smooth reeling and casted well. However out of the half a dozen or so different brands of spinning reels I have these by far end up getting line wound on the shaft under the spool most often. Have to remove the spool unwind the line replace the spool. Again by far the most of any of my other reels. Also as in the picture after a season or less the finish on the handle just falls off. If it’s just a visual problem I’m okay with it but whether that will degrade the strength of the handle I don’t know. Also the rubber grip starts to decay after a season.
