Pros & Cons
Pros
Reels are what taught me how to use a casting reel, from the thumb technique to removing birdnests. Two on catfish rods and 1 on a walleye trolling rod. Great size for river catfishing.
This reel for the size and price is way under priced. Id compare it to the abu garcia 6000 which i love. Great bargain reel, its pretty good. Buy it now, you won't be disappointed.
Cons
There's no audible tactile clicks to the brake control, it's friction only. The dial plate is moving all over the place!
This rover 60 is by far the most temperamental, problematic, poorly functioning reel i've ever had. This reel is junk. It belongs in the trash.
Just save your money for a penn or an abu.

Price
What i like besides the cost is that this handled these monster fish and gave the best fight ever
In this case it does it at half the price
Competitiveness
I’ve now owned 3 kastking rover 60’s for over a year and they haven’t had any problems so far seems to be holding up well
Don’t waste your money on a sougayilang or piscifun
Already caught a 40lb catfish and it handled it with no problems
It runs about 30 less than a comparable ambassadeur 6500 reel

You can hear the reel when you crank it

I could throw a 2 ounce weight over 200 feet but even with the spool tensioner turned to max there was not enough resistance to stop the spool at the end of the cast

I understand that i need to use my thumb to some degree to stop the spool but it was just too loose

Don’t go bigger than a 70 if you plan on casting at all
