I like your presentation and various comparisons. Just ordered a Chaos XS 50 W/ Diawa 7' MH AIRD Rod. We'll see how it does against my AG 6500CL3 W/Ugly Stik BWC 1129 7' MH. Keep up the GREAT Content!
You know them Carp Masters was gonna win that! I still use my mint condition first edition original green Carp Masters. I would trade one of my kidneys for a set of the orange Carp Masters, but they are sooo hard to find! 😢
thank you for doing these. recently started trying to get into catfishing and i started off with a Lews XL. I dunno if it was me, but I couldnt get it to cast but 30ft. I returned it and ordered a Pascifun 50. Hopefully it works out better for me.
i bought the 40s, they are perfect for me.. going down in size a lot from my massive rover 60s the difference has been great. pretty hard to backlash, great drag system, love that the star drag clicks, the baitclicker sounds awesome to the point i leave it on while reeling in fish... not too obnoxious of a clicker but good enough to hear a fish take off. reel looks great too and it matches up with my bass pro graphite series rods that i keep going back to. if i ever go up to a bigger diameter abrasion resistant line and stop using my 17# trilene XL then i will be switching to the chaos 50s for sure.
Alright I've had them for about 6 or 7 months and have caught a good amount of carp with them. A good solid 200 at the very least. On one reel shortly after my post the thumb bar stopped wanting to reset with a turn of the handle. The handle is getting loose. The anti-reverse is starting to go out. The other reel seems fine and they both cast smoothly and rarely backlash (with as many brakes turned off as possible; spool tension set just enough to allow the weight to fall straight down in the water with the line taut while gently thumbing the spool to feel a drop) unless I do something dumb. The drag is a little weird on both reels imo but I can't really explain that one. The paint and stuff has held up to a lot of abuse so they look OK. I don't know what else to say aside from I use 17# Trilene XL and usually throw 1 or 2 oz with a pretty big chunk of pack bait on the hook.
P.S. I'll still end up buying some 50s. I'm pretty sure I just beat the hell out of my 40s wild water fishing and they are still a fine product especially for the money. Hopefully Piscifun will start selling all the replacement parts for these reels.

I would have like to see that each sinker on a dead drop traveled at the same rate to ensure all the breaking was set the same for the compare. All solid casts either way.
Hey man! Thanks for the video I’ve been debating on buying some of these. I’ve been catfishing my whole life and I’m also from indiana, more central indiana .
I still own several Chaos xs 50 models still like em. For the money hard to beat if you use code ccbt18 on there website you save 18 percent off on every item and free shipping I belive.
I guessed the 40 based on it having the lightest spool. I was wrong. Your casting is good for a light sinker and a level winder. My Akios CT and Squall could smoke these reels, but pretty good for the price nevertheless.
I wonder why the 40 struggled maybe the 20 pound line just a little bit too much for it I don't know I was thinking about maybe grabbing a 40 and using for a swim bait real

Just pulled my 60 out of the box last night, I noticed it has a little slop or play on the drive shaft which transmits through the handle, kinda makes a “clickity clack” sound. Is this just normal for this reel? Just wanted to make sure before I spool it up. Thanks

I now have the SC600 and also the Chaos CS50 and would bet a good bit that they are actually the same reel with a different name….

You might check the manufacturers website I believe it says that its salt water compatible but not sure. If your interested in one you can use my code ccbt18 and it will save you 18percent off anything on there site.
That's test is inconclusive! Unless you do it with a machine that cast with the same speed and same projectile all the time. What about wind drag? There are so many variables involved with the casts.
Most do as you can see in the video I own tons of brands including abu garcia. This is a video on a budget reel and its a great option for people that cannot afford the more expensive stuff.

Is the Rover better or the Chaos?
I own a Chaos 50 but undecided whether to buy another or get a Rover 60.

Witch one of the chaos is the size of a 6500 Abu ? And 5500? Thanks good reviews
The 40 would be closest
Just got my xs50 can't wait to try it out this Sunday
I still like mine no issues yet with the ones I used all last year.

No level wind on the Akios would make a difference for sure.
can you show how to clean the chaos xs 50
I think the 50 and 40 are full floating spools, the 60 is a fixed spool.
gettin back into it this year. We caught 7 today, 3 buffalo.
Awesome
I like all those setups!
thanks for watching

the XS 50 is the sweet spot reel
Bass pro sells there own c3 styl bait caster I've used grate casting reel on a 6' cat max rod 100 yards easey but they only seem to last about 2 yrs

Back the spool tensioner off some more on the 50, my 50 and 9`6 WS rods bust 120-130 yards every cast !

wish you would do a bearing upgrade to the 50s....ive been thinking about doing the speed bearings, 29 bucks a reel
Did you ever upgrade your bearings?
They have black and orange 6500s
Yes they do. I refuse to pay the prices anymore. People are price gouging them at about $300 a piece
