Thanks, been tempted with Kastking as my first Baitcaster was the RoyalenLegend. Seems like a good way get into lighter BFS fishing without spending silly money
Nice review ! I have a Zephyr and i agree with you regarding the magnetic brake… It’s because the magnets are weak… I replaced them with powerful N52 and it now works great with a wide band of use 😉👍
What b/s braid were you using on the kastking please. I’ve just ordered the zephyr combo and not sure wether to use braid or fluorocarbon on the reel. Great review by the way 🎣
Helo sir, iam glad found your channel. Iam already through youtube bfs test. I found you. Pw100 plus right... If i buy from aliex, is the magnet good? I mean i dont know what production year they send me. What your thoughts about LingL And BK2? Cause we use left handle. And now seahawk brand releases bfs reel and its look like LingL. I hope have better features. Dman this tight budget make me confused. Lol. Thanks regards. Edit : what if pw100 plus got bearing swab with ceramic hybird bearing? I mean bearing with orange seal.
The PW100 plus is a great real for lures above 2gr and it’s brakes are the best of last years crop of BFS reels. If you are wanting to fish lures below 3gr consistently then I think the Lingl might be better. The BK2 does lighter lures very well but not so good with lures above 3gr. Not sure about SeaHawk. Ceramic bearings would help cast lighter lures. I run a Facebook group called BFS BUDGET FINESSE FISHING. If you haven’t joined yet please do and there are some great anglers who are buying using these reels who could help. Thanks for your support.
@@TheConstantAngler Thanks a lot. Yes I know the sizes, I ordered them from AliExpress but that bearings are not better than the original zephyr bearings.
Another interesting comparison on these two reels. Great to see you don't have to spend hundreds to get a reasosonsle baitcasting reel. Thank you👍

It sure is. It’s a good reel. Lovely and smooth. Although the brakes do not have such a wide band of use it does brake.
thank you so informative video. Wish someday you can review our tier-1 CDM tackles
Nice video Adrian, my pw should be here soon ill put that one on the benkei should suit each other pretty well

Got any links for the N52’s
Thanks
@@TheConstantAngler You’re welcome. Please don't forget that the poles are alternated every other magnet
@@MrNoMDI will keep it in mind
Very useful review for those who are not fully conversant with baitcasters. Honest and understandable. Thanks .
How long did it take you get comfortable with a baitcaster took one out for the first time today very testing but good fun
Once I realised that you need to have a very smooth cast to cast light lures not long as I had been using larger versions for years.
Well done Adrian good review (y)
Seems to be going down well
Great video is your thumb on the spool as you load up and release the cast?
Yep that’s right
What b/s braid were you using on the kastking please. I’ve just ordered the zephyr combo and not sure wether to use braid or fluorocarbon on the reel. Great review by the way 🎣
I was using 10lb braid as a few large Pike around. Hercules off AliExpress

Hello, do you know if it's possible to buy upgrade bearings for the zephyr somewhere in Europe?
Have asked on my Facebook group for you.
@@TheConstantAngler Thanks for your quick response!
@@dirkvanderpoel6797 no luck so far. Sizes so I’m told 10x5x4 10x3x4
@@TheConstantAngler Thanks a lot. Yes I know the sizes, I ordered them from AliExpress but that bearings are not better than the original zephyr bearings.
People recommend Roro bearings or Sic bearings? Will keep digging see what I can find
pls compare to the darkwolf
Will do as soon as I am able to go. Can’t due to Covid restrictions at present
