You should try the Carbon Serpent rod they make paired with your Carbon X II reel; they have the 7'2 ML spinning rod in stock. I ordered the rod and a Viper X 300 to pair with it, kind of wanted the 200 size because of the 22lbs of drag it offers, I'm a 10lb mono guy myself as why the 300 size. Back 30 years ago braid had just came out with Spider Wire and reels, I tried the combo way back then and it eat s line guides, and I caught less fish vs mono, what has change about braid in 30 years that I don't know about as everyone seems to love it now.
@@timdavis3532 I haven’t had a problem with any of my carbon X reels and I’ve had some of them for well over a year now and the handles are all still fine
I was wondering, would you prefer this reel over the abu Garcia max pro 30(long name) because I really want a good reel but don’t know too much about this. I also wanted to know which line you recommend. Thank you for the great vids btw! Oh one more thing, I’m gonna try fishing for bass sized fish.
I like these reels more than the max pro, piscifun makes a really good product and I’ve been happy with all of their reels! I put 20 lb power pro on it and seemed to do a good job. Mostly bass fishing with it so far

I’ll have to check it out!
I only use power pro braided line, typically I tie on a 5-6 ft mono or fluoro leader
Couldn't find it on Ali, any good places to buy?
What size reel is it?
2500
How does it compare to the original carbon x?
Can you move the handle to the right
Yes you can!
Do you think the soft handle will tear up. Thanks

best part about handles is if they do you can just replace them yourself
