PiscifunCarbon X II Spinning Reels, Light to 5.5oz, Upgrade Carbon Frame Rotor, 22LBs Max Drag, 10+1 Shielded BB, 6.2:1/5.2:1, Smooth Powerful Freshwater Saltwater Spinning Fishing Reel

So I was thinking. The reason that I wasn't catching fish, must be that I need better equipment. I'd been hearing good things about these reels from a custom rod builder that I know, and decided to give it a try on the new crappie rod that I was building. I was very impressed with the quality that it appears to be. It runs buttery smooth, quiet and is very lightweight. I've never had any other $50 reel (Black Friday deal) that comes close to the quality feel of this. All seemed to be right with the world until I took it out to the lake. I didn't catch one fish. Not even a nibble... I was fooled by the quality feel of this reel, the smoothness of the action, the 11 bearings. Oh well, at least it is was only $50. Would've been six stars if it had caught fish.

Really smooth. Great drag

nice reel not what I expected. sometimes I have to flip bail by hand other than that its a quality reel, very light weight which is nice. I have 25 Piscifun baitcasting reels with no issues so far. Cant beat the price and quality of PISCIFUN REELS

I really like this reel. The 3000 fits around 300 yds of 10lb test which is plenty for inshore. The retrieval is smooth as butter. It looks really nice and is super light. Spool comes off easily and goes back together with no issues. Highly recommended for inshore saltwater fishing. Casts a mile.

Super smooth great product. 2000 series capable to pull out 5 lb bass and it is a crappie Slayer

Great reel for the money

Got this real because of the reviews. Within a few minutes of reeling it a hesitation appeared in the cycle. In other words it wasn't smooth, there was a hesitation at the top of the cycle. Send it back. May have just been a factory defect who knows.

I’ve taken this reel (2000 series) out four weekends in a row fishing for walleye and smallies. The reel is so light I had no problem casting and jigging for 10+ hours each day. It holds a lot of line, 20 yards of 17lb fluoro backing under 125 yards of 10lb translucent stealth braid and another 3 yards of 8-10lb fluoro leader. It has a 6.2-1 gear ratio for over 30” of line retrieval per turn, and up to 22lbs of drag. It has no problem letting the line peel off for long and short casts as well as drop-shot fishing with 1/4 oz weights.The reel is smooth on the line retrieval and seems to be a quality product.

The media could not be loaded.  This Piscifun spinning reel is up to par with some of my other reels that cost two to three times the price of what I paid for this reel. It came packaged in a box with foam protection, a parts and instructions manual, a handy velvety pouch which contained the reel, and the handle which was wrapped in bubble wrap. Also included are two small washers, which I have no idea what they are for. The washers seem too small to be for the drag. I won't get into the specs of the reel because you can find them on the side of the box or online. What I believe to be the selling point of this reel is it's weight and materials used to build it. Carbon is a very strong but light material, that is why you will find supercars are mostly made using carbon Fibre. This reel can be used for long periods of time without getting sore hands, wrists, or arms. I recommend pairing this reel with a light rod , what's the use of having a light reel if your fishing rod is heavy, it defeats the purpose. The rod I paired it with is also carbon fiber. Line retrieve is very smooth, the bail arm is not easy to engage by turning the handle, but no big deal. I trip it manually. The drag is very smooth, and the drag wheel has audible clicks, casting is good, spooled it with 8 lb mono. There is also a reverse switch on the bottom of the reel. The reel handle sports Eva foam grips for added comfort and a no slip grip.This Piscifun reel exceeded my expectations, and is as good if not better than some reels that cost three to four times more. Time will tell how well this reel holds up.

Was suprised opening the box with how light the reel is. Drag is super smooth and cant wait to use it. For $69 on sale for black friday you really cant beat that amazing deal for such a quality reel.

Very light my sixth piscifun reel love them

Reel looks great and feels smooth but I’m not sure if I got a defective drag or if this one needs worked in. After lining the reel, the drag “works” however is not smooth in transitioning. Fully engaged works without a hitch, as you slowly loosen, it will allow for some line to be pulled with fairly decent tension, however the amount of tension needed does not change (as it should) as you loosen the drag, until the spool comes off. Like I said, maybe defective drag mechanism or maybe it needs to catch a fish first but seems to be defective to me.If it weren’t for that (as I’m not sure it’s defective for not) I’d be giving a 5 star for sure. My other 2 carbon x ii 1000 size reels are great.Will update review once I get it on the ice and can tell for sure if it is defective or not.Update: the seller reached out and we indeed confirmed the unit received was defective. They offered a refund or to ship out a proper working one. Fantastic customer service, the other 3 reels I’ve got work fantastic and glad to see them stand behind their product when bad product slips through QC. The other reels have been fantastic and I’m sure the new one in the mail will perform as such too.

Piscifun is the only reel I use! I'm on my second Piscifun reel. I broke my other Piscifun reel. I also have the Piscifun scale and lip grabber. I like both. They make really good products.
