Update: after a 3 months this reel continues to perform well. The bail doesn't twist the line. Few wind knots but I flip the bail manually and watch for loops like a hawk. I bought a 4000 (black, not "Lite") and it was too big and heavy, so I returned it and bought another 3000 (black, not "Lite") which is a good size for shaky head, wacky worm, t-rig etc. I have several baitcasters and spinning reels and have fished since the 1970s. These are good spinning reels.
They’re very smooth with 17.5 pounds of drag and 9+1 bearings. I like the KastKing brand and the quality that comes with the name. The size 500 is perfect for Crappie fishing.

So now I have had a few seasons with them. For the price you can not beat them. Again I am not easy on my equipment and since I bought my boat I now fish probably 25 hours per week in the summer so these get used and used a lot. I typically get 2 or more seasons per reel which for the price is fully worth it. Now I just need to find a rod that will do the same. I usually only get a half of season out of a rod before they snap.
UPDATE 4/22/19 5 star to 3 star:
Now that I have landed a few fish with these reels I am not as impressed as I once was. I bought two reels and the one is still working fantastic. The other one I ended up catching like a 6-7lbs large mouth bass and it spooled it pretty good. I am pretty sure I flat spotted one or more of the bearing in the reel. I could understand if I had caught several large fish or a big muskie it doing this but after one large fish this is unacceptable. There is NO WAY I will be getting two seasons out of this reel. I didn't even get the 1st month.
******update*******2/27/23
So I will give these a solid 4 stars. If you don't want to spend $50 plus per reel these are great. I have 4 of them in my arsenal. 3 of them I leave on my boat and 1 I keep with me in the truck. For the abuse I put my equipment thru and the amount of hours I fish I can't see anything this price being better. For the average fisher this thing is going to last you a decade if not longer. I do more fishing in a month, during the summer, than most people fish all year.
The good - Looks awesome! Super quiet when reeling. No bail closing snap-back. Doesn't seem to twist the line like other spin cast reels. Almost as smooth as the high-dollar brands. Feels expensive!
The bad - The crank handle is a little small for someone with large hands. I've never heard of this brand before seeing it on Amazon.
Overall, really impressed with this brand. There's no way you can beat this for the money, it feels better than many $100 reels, and almost as good as a $200 reel.
**UPDATE** one year later
Still my favorite reel. I've used the Centron in freshwater and the Summer in saltwater each over 100 times this year. The Centron is still 100% perfect. The Summer still has zero slop and works perfect except the drag no longer clicks... but let's look at it's price, the way I've treated it, and it's environment. Best price for it's quality. I have never taken it apart and cleaned it, ever. Salt water and Florida sun destroys everything, except this reel! I did just buy some reel grease, so hopefully that brings the drag click back. If it doesn't, I'll update. Still 5 stars!
**Update again**
The Summer's drag click has physically broken. The little spring loaded piece that makes the drag click was twisted and the tip was broken off. No corrosion at all on the piece so I have no idea what made it break. It did last a year and a half, roughly 150 days of 12hr+ Florida Salt Water fishing. That's about 1800 hours of abuse. Not bad. It's just unfortunate that a part that wasn't affected by rust was the part that broke, but it went out like a champ on a 38 inch Snook.
