@@vernervanschalkwyk2280 I would urge caution with Piscifun now. They have let inventories run out and disco’d many items this past year. Their response to my inquiries were lame saying they are working on new items, yet I have yet to see any. I have supported them for about 3 years but now cannot go down their rabbit hole.
I own the carbon xcs and phantom piscifun reels. I have been keen on buying the torrent as well. After watching your video i am ordering one for sure. Thanks for a great video from sunny South Africa.
I just oiled my baitcaster for the first time and I had it about 2 weeks, when I got done oiling it, it started acting wierd and tried casting right away after oiling it and it would backlash a lot more. I put the tension knob as tight as possible and It couldn’t hold a 1/4oz jig head with a creature bait in place. I turned the knob up all the way that press down the spool release and it would drop fast. Do you know why
Hi. I don't know why this happened. Check with your local angling store. They normally are able to help. You can also contact Piscifun and ask them. I have had positive advice from them in the past.
So the size/ frame/house of the Torrent 200 is not bigger compared to the Torrent 100? How can you have the same size on both if the 200 has a bigger spool? I don't get it. Maybe the size 200 has a bigger line capacity spool, the so called deep spool?

You might have put too much oil. Try taking it apart and wipe it down. If you have an air compressor, try blowing it out. You only need a drop or two of oil.
@gusmorales7264 No play on handle. Very solid reel for the price! Ism making a video on a great spinning reel for Piscifun. Don't forget the discount code IL15
I own the Piscifun carbon xcs and the Piscifun Phantom baitcasting reels. I can honestly tell you that they are stunning reels. I like both more than even my Shimano Curado, which is a great reel as well. I fish mainly bass here in South Africa but have caught an 10 pound catfish on the carbon xcs without any problem. These reels are excellent value for the money. I fish A LOT and no issues whatsoever with either reel. I am hard on my tackle so you can buy Piscifun reels without worrying they will break.
Sadly, I sold my Phantom last year and it is now disco’d! Bought the Torrent II and could not be happier. Easy to dial in plus it casts a mile.
Yes, I agree! I love my Torrent ll very smooth and very affordable!
Thanks for the replies on the Torrent II. I am very keen on buying one.
Try it out. You won't regret it. There are good reels at an affordable price

You may have over oiled it
I’m looking for a reel that’ll cast lures from 30-120g, would this work?
Yes, it definitely would
They have a few different size reels from 100 to 300. I have the 200

Yes, it has a deeper spool , a stronger drag, and a bigger handle, but I think the frame is the same size on the 100 and 200
