I took out the Assassin this morning. It is paired with a 7' Hellbent from No 8 tackle company. It was more than I expected. The braking system on the Assassin is considerably superior to the Stealth. It was a rare day to take the Stealth out and not get a nest. It could be done but I could never get aggressive with my cast. I still love the reel but it had its limits. The Assassin was a different story. I could not get it to nest period. I had the brakes set way below what I would set the Stealth to. I was able to really turn it loose. The reel is shockingly lightweight. I was genuinely impressed by the Assassin today.
Gene Ford how about the reeling in.. Stealth felt rough compared to Spartacus.. So wondering how assassin feel?
Kaidi Chan The retrieve was great. The reel needed lubrication, thats not unusual. It smoothed out nicely with some reel butter lube.
I really like the comparison of the two. The only thing "I" was not clear on was when you were talking about the line capacity was if it was mono, braid, or whatever? The reels Look GREAT though!
kastking reels are great! I have been throwing tha assassin for a few months now and love every bit of it! from pitching, skipping to casting you have total control! I'm throwing a soft plastic further out than my revo and curado!
I just got one and I have to say it's really nice. Casts super far and it's very difficult to get bird nests. It gets less over runs than my lews tournament mb.
Thanks, I already have the spartacus which I am impressed with other than the release button makes a weird noise when engaged or disengaged.. Looking at going with the assassin after seeing this.
Assassin is DC'd! This is a really old video. Check out our NEW stuff!
great review, just what i was looking for. hoping to use this for cod off the NorCal shore.
I have several of both and they are great!
so baitcasting assassin is more like silent fishing without make any noise kinda usefull to catch without knowing you there
thanks for release amazing baitcasting assasin kastking
i love you work
That is a perfect way to look at it. Thank you!
your welcome
very helpful. will be buying the assassin asap
Glad this was educational! Good luck with your new reel!
The assassin looks just like the Spartacus
WooHoo... My new 2017 KastKing Speed Demon 9.3:1 gear its ordered and on it's way to my house.
Basically a stronger and lighter version of the Spartacus.
Is it possible to buy extra spools for the assassin and stealth?
Once you put your backing on if you change your line once a month our what ever I only put 50 to 60 yards on. Then when you start feeling or seeing your line splice change your line again. That way your not putting 50 yards of usable line on the back of the reel.
looks awsome
I have a Royale Legend, how do you compare? I like it, not as much as my Daiwa reels but I do like it. I'm looking to add another reel to my arsenal but I'm torn given my so so feelings on the Royale Legend.
Good day I have great interest in a castling role. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly which I should buy. What is the difference between the Royal Legend, Spartacus, Stealth and Assasin? I fish middle wobbler, so no big baits. thank you in advance
Please refer to one of our latest videos for a description of the reels you mentioned. You should find all of the information you are looking for in that video.
Legend and Spartacus need stainless steel bearings put in there if you’re fishing any where near salt water
I'm thinking about getting the assassin
Great choice, we would love to see you picture should you get one. Please tag us using #kastking or #kastkingusa
Okay will do,and I hear so much good things about the assassin so will be getting that's one.
Jacob Yevich I love mine had it 3 months
Jamie Brown okay thanks
As the coil, compared with the previous versions Kastking?
*REQUEST Opinion* Aye, I Have The Dobyns Champion Series DC 735C F/H rod, and I'm looking to pair it with a KastKing Reel that can Handle the torque! In your HONEST opinion Which Kastking Reel{s} Would you recommend for Heavy Flipping & Pitching as well as "PUNCHING Heavy Mats'' With this rod?
Kastking Spartacus or Royale Legend? cant decide. my gut says Spartacus. I fish mainly walleye and northern pike i use jigs and occasionally spoons and jerkbaits.
Cant go wrong with the Royale Legend. There is a new and improved version of the Spartacus coming out soon. Tough decision, sometimes your gut knows what's up.
im getting the assassin for christmas
I love kastking, I don't get as many birds nests as my Lew's.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Is better to spool it all the way? Will it affect the casting distance?
You want to make sure to leave at very little bit of your spool showing on the sides. About 1/8 to 1/16th of an inch. It doesn't necessarily help with casting distance but is more of a personal preference or you could look at it as getting the most line on your reel that you can in hopes that you hook into a BIG FISH and want as much line to battler that fish!
Hi. I got stealth and Spartacus. Both cast really well but stealth need more brake as spool is lighter.. But significantly, Spartacus felt much more smooth when reeling in. Just wonder how does assassin compare to stealth when reeling in?
Both are similar. We have many reviews coming out that will answer your question. The Assassin will feel lighter because of the difference in weight.
KastKing my stealth felt really rough when reeling in with load especially when compared to Spartacus.. Or is it my set is faulty?
Could be. Best thing to do is contact customer service at service@eposeidon.com.
Hello
I'm from Brazil and I have a assassin reel and I'm waiting for the stealth reel.
I would like to know if the size of the bearings of the two reels are the same?
thank you
Hi there thanks for contacting the social media department! Please contact customer service at service@eposeidon.com and they will be able to better answer your question. Thanks!
KastKing ok!! Tks
what is the minimum cast lure gram?
does having holes in the sides of the spool affect the magnetic braking?
I actually picked one up and to answer my own question, no on this reel the magnets interact with the centrifugal brake cover not the spool directly like on the stealth.
The assassin is really nice and casts just as good as my Lews Tournament MB.
sorry I'm mildly confused is that the left handed or right handed? on every website I look, some say left handed but pictures show left handed retrieve. can some one please explain it. mind you I'm alittle slow due to head trama.
Left hand retrieve means you retrieve the line with your left hand.
Right hand retrieve means you retrieve the line with your right hand.
Sometimes the pictures are just stock photos and show the product. You
have to select what retrieve you want, either left or right handed.
thanks. I do appreciate your help.. I want the new assassin reel. I do very much appreciate your time and help
next step is to afford the left hand assassin. fixed income it's hard to get the cool stuff
We keep fishing fun by keeping it affordable.
Muito boa essa carretilha #kastking stealth super leve e macia. Aqui no Brasil não temos muitos produtos #kastking . Tenho molinetes também. Gostaria de adquirir varas #kastking aqui não encontrei e para importar o valor do frete muito alto.
It's a little noisy when you reel in. Is this just me being picky?
Are you referring to the video?
Same with the Assassin I just bought on Amazon. Debating on sending it back. Still loud even after oiling it.
What lure is that?
Frog
KastKing i know its frog.What company made it, is it Strike king?
KastKing is nice but the white lettering comes off
You must be using it a bunch! That is a good sign to see ;)
can it use for salt water ?
This is not a saltwater rated reel. If someone used this reel in the salt they would have to make sure to clean it very well with freshwater after every use to ensure proper working conditions.
it is ok to just running with fresh water ?
Fresh water rinse and routine maintenance. We have videos covering how to take cars of a freshwater rated reel after salt use. (KastKing Stealth)
KastKing do you have a saltwater baitcaster? I just bought the sharky 2 and I'm literally ready to go kastking all the way in whatever I can buy
We sure do, check out the Spartacus Maximus which you can buy here: amzn.to/2tkYviY
I might have bought this reel for my first KastKing product but the 6.3.1 gear ratio holds me back. IMO they should of made one higher than 7.0.1 ratio. Most ppl want the higher ratios and I believe they would have sold more reels if they did so. But like most ppl, I already have quite a few 6.3.1 or 6.4.1 reels. So really hoping they atleast make this Assassin in their 7.0.1 ratio so I can try it. Seems the majority want higher speed reels.
Check out the new KastKing Speed Demon 9.3:1 ratio, 12 + 1 bearings, 4 disk carbon fiber drag,. :)
9.3.1 ratio?? I prefer 7.1.1 to 8.3.1 for high speed ratios. You start losing power and torque which is my concern with the Speed Demon. I checked it out and they are currently unavailable on amazon. Kastking already has the 6.3.1 Spartacus reel so why they chose to make the Assassin the same not sure. I really like the Assassin out of all of em mainly cuz the dual braking system. Also the overall size and weight seem great. But thanks and maybe they will make one similar to the Assassin with dual brakes, lightweight in a 7.1.1 or 8.1.1. Thanks and happy holidays
"Adam S"~ Picky ass.
