Skeet Reese, a Bassmaster Classic Champion and former Bassmaster Angler of the Year, is a fishing legend who loves KastKing reels. So much so that he wanted to work with the brand to develop his new reels - the Skeet Reese Signature Icon Fishing Reel. When a legend endorses a reel - anglers need to pay attention because the top pros prefer the best gear.
The robust aluminum frame of Skeet Reese Icon Baitcasting Reel paired with highly durable carbon fiber side plates provide considerable strength while limiting the overall weight to only 7oz.!
Skeet Reese Icon Baitcasting Reel's Automag Dual Braking System utilizes a one-piece magnet ring & centrifugal adaptability to improve casting distance and reduce overruns. The 7.2:1 gear ratio is ideal for topwater baits, jerkbaits, jigs, and other techniques that create slack in your line. The higher gear-ratio comes in handy for solid hooksets on long casts, further reducing missed bites.
Triple Disc Carbon Fiber Drag Washers provide up to 17.6 lbs. of maximum drag to stop fighting fish. And the double bearing supported pinion gear is 35% smoother under load and 30% more durable.
The TPE handle knobs are incredibly comfortable and provide anglers with a better grip and complete control. The KastKing patented LFTV (Low Friction Tapered Vortex) line guide limits the amount of friction on the line allowing for greater casting distance.

This is EASILY one of the very best bait casters money can buy and not just at the $100 price point! Fanboys of the mainstream brands are paying way too much for their reels. This thing is just as good as any Daiwa or Shimano I've owned. I own and use a plethora of different brand reels because I like to try different systems from different brands to see how each stacks up against the competition and I've found several inexpensive reels perform on par with ones that cost $200-$400, and the Skeet Reese Icon is one of them!
It casts so effortlessly well without backlashing once set properly (I adjust for every lure I throw) and it's very quiet with one of the smoothest retrieves. I'm sure I'll hook into another 5+ pounder at my lake soon enough, but it whips 3 pounders like butter!
Just a superb bait caster that's completely versatile for any application. PLENTY of drag, EXCELLENT robber nobs, and the Click of the spool tension nob is among the best I've ever had the pleasure of adjusting. Such fine and smoothly crisp clicks that it's almost fun to play with, and the same with the Drag!!! LOL
Skeet didn't leave any stone unturned with this reel, and the machining and finish is flawless!
So glad I finally got one!
I might be offloading a few of my other reels to replace them with Icons.
