Review: Impressive reel for the money. 6000 (size) - This reel is an absolute beast! I’ve caught most of my personal bests with it. I paired the Sharky 6000 with a Penn Battle IV surf rod and Berkley Big Game 50 lb braid, and this setup has been incredible. My most impressive catch so far was a 10-foot shark. I’ve also landed several snook around 38 inches, and the 6000 has so much drag that you can really bring the heat and haul those fish in when you need to. I’ve had zero issues with it. It’s durable, smooth, and has some sealing against the elements, which is especially important for surf fishing. And honestly, for the price, the build quality is impressive. You get a LOT of reel for your money with the Sharky Baitfeeder 6000. If you’re looking for a powerful, dependable reel without spending a fortune, I highly recommend it. 🎣🦈
Review: Very Underrated - Edit: May 29, 2024 I purchased the KastKing Sharkie BaitFeeder III in the 4,000 series and paired it with a Shakespeare Big Water. Ladies and gentlemen, this is in my opinion the absolute best combination for pier fishing. Why do I say that? Well, most people's methods of fishing from a pier is what I call "passive" fishing, including myself. I use what's called a High Low Rig, or a Crappie Rig as Eagles Claw calls it (the famous brand that sells hooks at your local Walmart), so you basically tie your line to a barrel swivel and that barrel swivel has a thick line about 3 feet long maybe, with two hooks spaced equally apart, and at the end is a heavy sinker of your choosing. I cast out, let the weight hit the bottom, stick the pole in a holder and reel in until the line is tight and with a regular reel you would set the drag pretty light so if a fish takes your bait and runs, your pole won't get sucked into the water. The line will just strip. Now this presents a problem because if a big fish takes the bait and runs, you have to pick up the pole and sit there turning the drag up until it's tight enough that you can fight the fish. This wastes time right? Enter the KastKing Sharkie BaitFeeder III and it's ingenious design. Now with this reel you have a dual drag system that are independent of each other! You have your normal drag in the front that you would set as if you hooked a fish, so decently tight, but in the rear is another drag! So with this now, you cast out and let the weight of the rig hit the bottom, stick your pole in a holder, reel in until the line is tight and instead of messing with the main drag in the front, you flip the lever in the rear of the reel and that engages the secondary drag. You turn the knob on this end until the line is so light that if a fish took your bait and ran, it'll just strip line. Simply pull your pole out of the holder while the line is stripping and as soon as you begin reeling, you'll feel a slight resistance in the handle and the lever will click over switching and activating your main drag! No time wasting messing with the drag with this thing. Set your primary drag in the front to how you would normally fight a fish and then flip the lever in the rear and adjust the knob to how light you want the secondary drag. I never heard of such a reel until I got one of these and I loved it so much that I bought another one in the 3,000 series to pair with a Shakespeare GX2! These are fantastic reels and for a great price! I've had the 4,000 series since December 10th 2023 and have used both starting in January of 2024 and they've held up great so far. I did catch a double header with two stingrays and that was a pain to haul in from the height of the water to the railing. I'd estimate that to be at least 15 feet and maybe 10+lbs of dead weight dangling in the air and the 4,000 series handled it. That has been the heaviest haul so far. I put 30lbs Trilene braid on the 4,000 and 20lbs braid on the 3,000 and with the 4,000 I can easily cast about 80 yards underhand on the pier but again, that's about 15 feet up. Reeling in feels smooth and the only thing I hear is the tension of the line. A couple things I appreciate from KastKing is including a manual with actual part names which I assume can be used if you were to ever lose a part or break a part and need warranty work or something. If you look at one of the photos I shared, I tried to showcase how the handle mounts and I couldn't believe to see they added grease which speaks volumes to how they want their customers to have the best experience. They've also included stickers you can write on for the type of fishing string you're using and stamp it somewhere on the reel. I made a sticker for each of the spools and snuck them on the inside portion of each spool so in the future, like next year probably, I can see what type of line is on there and how old it is. I'm just saying, they didn't have to include that but it's nice they did. I also tried to show exactly how large these reels are and the only poles I have to compare them to are a Penn Fierce which is a 6,000 series and an Ugly Stik GX2 which I'd say is maybe like a 3,000 or 4,000. If you look at one of their images, they show the sizes of their reels and it appears the 5,000 and the 6,000 are the same size so I personally went with the 4,000 to pair with my heavy Ugly Stik Big Water and compared to the Penn Fierce, it is just slightly smaller but perfect for the Big Water pole I think. And the KastKing 3,000 is comparable to the GX2, which is one of the most popular poles/reels in America, is about the same size. So you can compare and hopefully see which one would suit your needs. I absolutely recommend these reels and I don't think you could find a better price. I will continue to update this review so long as these reels hold up. Oh yeah, and I'm fishing the Pacific Ocean which means saltwater and there doesn't appear to be any corrosion yet but like I said, I'll keep updating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you bottom fish, I guarantee you will love this reel. Insane value.
*by A***R on July 11, 2026*

I ordered 2 of the 5000 series for catfishing and I’ve never loved a reel more. Baitfeeders are nothing new for spinning reels but none are better executed. The clicker is loud enough to hear if you’re away from your pole. The reel is so smooth and it has no problem reeling in a heavy cat. The transition between bait feeder mode and reeling is seamless. If I may suggest a rod for this reel, the Ugly Stik Tiger Elite 7’ Heavy is excellent. Fav combos I’ve ever had.
