Quick take
A lightweight spinning reel with sealed spool and rotor design for saltwater and freshwater use, featuring triple-disc carbon drag.
The Spartacus II in size 3000 is a spinning reel from KastKing for anglers who fish both fresh and salt water. It pairs a 5.2:1 gear ratio with a multi-disc carbon fiber drag and 7+1 stainless ball bearings, and it weighs about 358 grams. The ambidextrous handle suits left or right hand retrieves, and the Stryker Green finish sets it apart at the rod.
