I ordered one of these reels for musky solely because your review was superb. Not a lot of info out there on the Piscifun Alijos and I’m glad I stubbled on to your video!
@@esox0790 very satisfied with it. I’ve had it for almost a year now and it’s still smooth, so it’s holding up throw big musky baits and the drag is great during the fight!
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
I LOVE IT!! It cast 1oz jigs a mileee! Super smooth and it’s a steal😱 unbelievable. Thank you I wouldn’t have gotten it if it weren’t for u. Totally recommend it
Got one 👍 As the guy says in the video it's a brilliant reel. I can say 100% It's worth it. If your thinking of spending your money on one of the more expensive reels then THINK AGAIN. Try this first, good luck and very tight lines everyone 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
@MrCloudseeker Hi mate, been using mine in fresh water. It's a brilliant reel and WELL WORTH GETTING. I'm not affiliated to piscifun I'm just a guy with a passion for fishing.
@@abdulaziz-wg6fo Hi Abdul, I throw big swimbaits with with this reel. It chucks them a fair distance. I've never measured the distances but probably 100 feet. Hope that's helpful. If you get one I'm sure you'll be happy 😊
*I just came back from a fishing trip out at Catalina island. I took 3 rod and reel combos including this reel allijos being the less expensive of the bunch. Well let me tell you my review about the allijos.The reel is a beast!!!!! that I didn't even use my other reels. It pulled up huge calico bass like nothing. Pulled in some nice bonito and barracuda with ease. The drag was smooth and casting was incredible with a 7'8 rod. This reel was keeping up with my friends daiwa lexa. Buy this reel you won't be disappointed*
Guys, Piscifun reels might be the best reels for the money available to fisherman right now. They're without question under rated and currently under priced. Alijos 300 with 8.1:1 and super smooth 33lbs of drag, double shielded stainless bearings are built well and have the honest specs and capability for most salt water applications including....yes, including high speed jigging off shore for AJ's, Tuna or?? I believe Piscifun will not continue these prices once more fisherman figure this out. They are what they seem. Great reels with impressive specs. at a low price point. I also highly recommend the Piscifun carbon X spinning reels! These are phenomenal! Spinning reels. I'm not paid by any manufacturer. I've just used them and am extremely impressed.
Just ordered one of these for Steelhead and Salmon fishing here in the PNW. Can't wait to test it out on a big Chinook in the river. That drag should come in handy for keeping big fish out of submerged logs and such.
I have the Tranx 400, Lexa 400 HD, and this Alijos 300 and I am very impressed with the Alijos so far. I got mine on sale for $85 and worth every penny.
Great video. I would love to see a review of the piscifun alijos 300 Vs the kastking kapstan 300 . That would be awesome! I don't think anyone on you tube has done that yet! I'm sure many would want to see it!
Very well put together review of the Piscifun Alijos 300. I am purchasing this reel come payday. Going to pair it up with a 9'6" heavy Whisker Seeker rod. Anxious to see how it does.... I catfish from the bank, so I am always looking for setups that will cast far distances.
I remember fishing on South Jersey shore, jetties. Night fishing too, caught a 20 lb stripped bass. Alright, it might not have been 20 lb, but it was my biggest fish...
I've been fishing with spinning tackle for nearly 30 years but I'm relatively new to baitcasters, would a 7 ft medium heavy rod be okay for a baitcaster this size.
Hi I have never used a bait caster type reel in my life (im 62) but want to try the piscifun alijos 300 reel for surf fishing...... I use a 4 meter long rod and sling a minimum of a 4oz sinker, 50kg braid with 2 hooks and large baits...... is this reel capable of handling this type of setup. Am I wasting my time and money even trying something like this...... you advise would be most helpful....... Cheers
Sold me. Sounds like this reel is exactly what I've been looking for, its the price point I was looking for too. The 15% off pre-black friday deal brought it down to only $80 and free shipping! I love the MaxToro I bought for kayak fishing muskie but I've been afraid to cast it in the saltwater, this reel should fit the bill now that I'm back on the coast!
I had the Maxtoro til it fell in the water a few weeks ago. After some researching, it was replaced by the Piscifun Alijos reel. It is definitely a quality reel and in the same caliber as the Maxtoro IMO. Cast just as smooth but it is lighter due to its smaller frame size but yet still has the same amount of line capacity. I'm still waiting to catch my first fish in it to see how the drag perform but so far I'm loving this reel.
@@elvislee7686 Nice, Thanks for the Impute! I just used my new Alijos for the first time today. Didn't catch anything with it but it casts nice and smooth, I honestly like the feel of it even better than the Maxtoro!
@@CrayOutoors it's really a nice reel for the money. Only time will tell it's longevity. I'm going to buy another one but in the 8.1:1 gear ratio and also with the power handle.
Just ordered one 20 minutes ago. Found the 300 size low profile bait casters the perfect size saltwater reel for inshore and nearshore fishing. Have a 300 Diawa Lexa to compare it to. I'm able to cast 80 yards with a 2oz. weight and a 7.5 ft rod with the Lexa 300.
Hi I was thinking of buying this instead of the kapstan as the left handed one is out of stock. Does the line guide move while casting as it doesn't on the kapstan which let's you cast further
Great video. Thanks for all the info. I would not have considered the brand PISCIFUN, if not for your video reviews. Seems like a great competitor vs. Daiwa, Shimano
Just got mine a couple days ago gonna throw it off some piers just to get a good feel and test it out but this spring time it’s gonna be my yellowtail rod
Nice review. Ive been looking for another mangrove setup. Just wonder how it last in long term in saltwater. Lot of reel said they made for salt really dont last.
Is the reel foot small like a 100 size baitcaster or will it fit on a conventional saltwater rod with a standard (larger reel seat)? Asking because I have a ton of conventional casting rods but bought a 100 size abu baitcaster and it won’t fit. I’m looking to upgrade reels without having to buy a rod
Great vid. You sold me. I have wanted a lower profile 300 without breaking the bank. Round reels are ok, but are a little uncomfortable after a lot of fishing. I must ask about the one sided handle. Looks cool but looks like a lot of arm movement to reel. Do you like it more than a two sided handle?
Hey Rod! Yes the power handle requires more arm movement for sure. I really like it for fast jigging in saltwater etc. you might want the regular handle to slow crawl those swimbaits if that’s what your using it for
I have one that I bought to use as a big swimbait reel for largemouth. After I moved to Texas, I started using this to throw cut bait with up to 6 oz of lead weight. No problems, and it still cast smooth as it did the day it was new. (I typically have it on an 8' rod. Throwing on a longer rod may make a difference)
@@rodfather_bass_fishing hey man thabks for the reply! I bought one for swimbaits myself lol. I thought about buying another one for what youre talking about. Big bait for blue cats here in KY. 🤙 love my reel btw
Phytobedo Fishing honestly, I’m pretty new to fishing in general, I inshore fish in southeastern Florida, I fish mangroves a lot and hit a jetty on occasion, is there a recommendation for just general readiness? Obviously I’d like to bag some bigger predatory fish but I’m just not quite to the point that I’m targeting specific fish.
Hey man, just ordered the reel from Amazon. I have a question about the weight you're throwing, you're saying the 7.6. Shomano rod can cast a 3-4 oz lure? I live in Hawaii and I want to change things up, so if what you're saying is correct, I should be able to throw a 2-3 oz. Plug( top water poppers) no problem. Just want to clarify. Great video btw, I watched both videos and ordered the reel off your suggestion. Mahalo, 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Dev
@@phytobedo I’m really unsure on the rod, I’m looking for something that can sort of alternate between a texas rig, some medium size swim baits and some top waters like frogs and what not. Mostly texas rigs. Probably going to use 20-30 lb braid.
I think this reel is a little large for most freshwater applications. Not saying you couldn’t use it for those situations s, but I would personally use a traditional freshwater baitcaster.
@@phytobedo Well I fish saltwater quite a bit, but I figured this might work for some bigger swim baits/spoons while it’s not being used for that application

I would've bought one if it had a clicker, I'm gonna go with the kastking kapstan instead.
You’re right, no clicker on this one
