My Hands-On KastKing Royal Legend Review
With a slimmed down design, the latest edition of the Royale Legend from KastKing has a whole lot going for it. Will this product measure up to previous iterations from KastKing? I got a chance to examine the KastKing Royale Legend Elite in real-world conditions and I’ve got a whole lot to tell you about.
Let’s take a look at some of the best parts, and the worst parts, of this baitcaster reel.
