    I own 6 Piscifun reels in 3 different models and they are by far the best inexpensive reels I’ve ever owned! I put them up there with the other Shimano and Penn reels that I also own, except they cost a fraction of those other brands’ reels and they are a lot lighter than Penn reels! I bought 9 Piscifun reels the last three years to give them away as Christmas gifts. Everybody thought I spent a fortune because of how good those reels are, but they are inexpensive Christmas gifts that make everybody happy because of their quality and beautiful color patterns! I’m still using the two original Piscifun reels that I bought 7 years ago, that’s how good they are! If you’re in a tight budget but want to buy something of quality Piscifun is the one to go with all the way!

      I'm impressed with how it's handling so far. And you know how hard I am on my gear. Plus the fact that I never rinse off my reels after each trip. The Shimano's take it in stride year after year. I'm curious to see how this one will do.

  • @kweeks10045
    @kweeks10045 4 роки тому +1

    The high speed reel would make a good swimbait reel for bass. I would imagine the low speed reel be a great “large crank bait” reel. These reels definitely have a place in the market. Large frame low profile reels are few and far between, especially in this price range. Normally the Daiwa Lexa, Shimano Tranx, Abu Toro Winch, or Lew’s 300 SD are the “go to” In this size range, especially in saltwater. Think bull reds, tarpon, yellowtail, calico bass, or large stripers. Thanks for your feedback on the reel. I can’t wait to hear how it holds up. Maybe a couple of shark fishing expeditions in the bay are in order? Hmmmm

    Hello Mark as a fisherman for 52 years on my boat or my kayaks and walking the shorelines i really enjoy fishing and working on my reals now retired but working for a well known real repair shop my experience with piscifun and kastking i notice for a few years with this two company the real feels god out of the box but as soon you start fishing the noise from the bearings to the gears drives me crazy yes you will catch fish i had this two company reals with me for weeks on fishing trips and months just fishing this two company reels yes they feel good out of the box but when the price is reaching 100 dollars i will stay with shimano daiwa abu and many other company . the shimano clx its a unbelievable real for 100 dollars.

Let me tell ya, I am extremely impressed by all of the reels that I have bought from Piscifun! I didn’t know I could get such quality reels for such little bit of money! I didn’t know Piscifun make any rods until the last 4 years or so because I’ve never seen any of their rods put on sale until the last 4 years or so. I’m going to order one from Aliexpress to give it a try since that’s where I always get the best deal!

    Great review! I felt the same way about some of the lower priced baitcasters on Amazon. Only because I was new to the baitcaster world. So I wanted a good starter reel. I went with KK and after 4 reels I will never go back. I actually went with a Piscifun Viper spinning reel that is GREAT!!! In my opinion. But for my baitcasters I ended falling for Abu Garcia! I may get my self the Shimano for Christmas. But we shall see what Santa bring us lol.. Thanks for sharing Mark tight lines!

    I've purchased two different reels from them (Chaos and the Thunder). Disappointed both times. Longevity was the issue. Both were down after a few months. Yes, I cleaned and lubricated them after each trip. Initially I did like them, they just didn't last.
    Also purchased one of their rods, it broke bringing in a Ladyfish. It was the first week I had the rod. Hopefully their newer models are better.

  • @AliexFolgueira
    @AliexFolgueira 4 роки тому +1

    Sounds like a solid reel, heavy though, how smooth is it compare to Shimano curado k? I kinda stepped away from those companies as well, not that they are bad, is just that I'm always dropping my reels in salt and I needed waterproof reels. What's the toughest baitcaster for salt that you have used?

    • @MDLRFishing
      @MDLRFishing  4 роки тому +1

      It's nowhere near as smooth as the Curado. You can feel a slight friction as you crank the line in. My most durable reel for the salt has been the Calcutta Conquest 100. I've had them for over two years and never rinse them after use. They take a beating and still perform great. I've had to send one in to be deep cleaned because I dropped it in the water. When I got it back it was amazing. The Curado DC has developed an unstoppable backlash every eighth cast or so. I have tried thumbing the spool and it never fails, the thing will backlash.

    There are two handle options for this reel. The single knob unbalanced handle is meant for vertical jigging only.
    This handle will turn during the cast and engage the clutch wrecking the
    gears. (Ive seen this happen many times) For casting the double knob
    handle only should be used.
