I am in LOVE with this rod. I have ADHD, so if one little thing is "off" about something I buy, it ends up hated and languishing in a dark closet somewhere. NO WAY. First, the color is drop-dead gorgeous. It's nicely balanced and lightweight. When you slide this thing together, it's NOT coming apart on you. Lots of guides result in a nice, smooth cast - into the next county. Seriously. Pair this with the right reel, and you can land a frog on the beach in Hawaii from San Francisco. Okay, maybe not that far. (Maybe halfway) It's got a sensitive enough tip that you can feel even the slightest thump on your lures, but has enough backbone to haul a Rottweiler through your second floor apartment window. (No, I didn't do it, nor do I recommend it. This will land you in a heap of trouble). Right now, I have a crappy reel on it and I still am in love. I have a good reel arriving tomorrow, and once I get that, I might never need to date again, this is all the love I'll ever need. Granted, I've only been using it a few days, so I might amend this glowing review. But so far, so good. So, so good...

I own and use several Kast King bait casters, the Speed Demon was my last purchase and I loved the reel but never owned any rods until now. I love the unique color pattern, weight, hook keeper and feel of this rod. Against my typical preference, I decided to buy a multi-piece rod for easier travel, and I’m glad I did, I was looking for a compact solition I could throw into my work truck and this rod seems to fit the bill in terms of size, quality and value. Really happy with this rod so far!

Great budget rod. It feels great and is very light. It did a great job on the lake and was easy to assemble

Good rod for the $, haibo arise air 2024 (purple version) matches very well if you go baitcaster version, I had purple braid on there too (too much purple) but went back to mono because braid is bleah.

I recently added the KastKing Royale Legend Pro rod to my angling arsenal. I chose the casting Crankbait 7' M Moderate version from the 13 on offer. I wanted a little more backbone than my other rods had. This rod certainly has the backbone due to its multi-layer construction. But what has surprised me is just how sensitive it is. I can feel every bump, rock etc, on the bottom of my favorite lake. It is every bit as good as any of my other rods. Then too, I found its casting accuracy to be exceptional. I want accuracy even more than distance in my casting. But with this rod mounted with a KastKing Speed Demon Elite reel, I had both. This is my first rod with the micro style K-Frame guides. They too have lived up to my expectations. No tangles with KastKings braided line. I have not tried fluorocarbon yet. I shall probably do so in the near future. One more observation, this rod is incredibly light for its backbone and length. I would say that it is even lighter than my ultra light Ugly Stick. And that is saying something. All in all, I can highly recommend this rod. In fact, with its numerous potential styles, it just might be the only rod brand you will need for your own personal angling arsenal.

The chameleon color makes the rod look purple or blue depending on which way the light shines on it. It has the perfect balance between a strong stirdy back bone, while having just the right amount of flex for casting out far. I've caught several oversize redfish and black drum on it so and handed the fight and weight of the fish like a champ. Biggest black drum on this so far was about 49". It also has really good sensitivity for small fish and those sensitive bites you can sometimes get from slow eating and sketchy fish. Absolutely great value for the money. The guides are also very good. My only gripe about this rod is the plastic hook holder on the reel seat vs the normal wire hook holder attached into the rod, makes the hook slip out easy at times.

To begin, I'm not a two piece rod type but like to match my gear. This was the only rod I could find to match my Royale Legend reel with and I even found braid line with the same colors. But, with this said, I am very pleased with the price and quality of this combo.

First hook set and the rod broke in two, fish was super small bass too < 1lb!!! I have a pic of the fish too, if you would like to see it. I have a bunch of the Kastking reels, they are awesome, so I thought I’d try out their rods but I’m super disappointed, they look great but the quality is off. Now I may have just gotten a bad one and I was just outside of the return window when I got to try this rod and boy it was disappointing. I had ordered three rods all at the same time, haven’t use the other two yet but I sure hope they don’t turn out like this one! I hope kastking does something about these rods and take care of their customers.
