    I've had this reel for over 6 months now and I'm quite impressed with it. Smooth drag, gear and solid overall with good casting distances. The lower profile also provides for great palming. Only 'issue' I would say is the thumb bar is quite hard and takes a bit of effort to press.

    Have you noticed how the Piscifun Alloy M and the Ardent Summit Hawk look almost IDENTICAL except for the massive Price difference. It even has 12 magnets for braking like the Alloy M.

    This is one of my favorite reels. I have other reels from Lew's and Daiwa that I like but I seem to always end up picking up the Alloy M. Glad to see I am not alone in my evaluation of it.

    Frankly I've also been exploring the China market reels lately and just bought 2 more reels by SOLOKING namely the Hiaw 200 and GKA200T. And I have to say that I'm quite impressed as these 2 reels are pretty smooth and uses NMB bearings in some key areas, and it comes with default drag clickers too and at a very affordable price range. I've only did some casting with it for now and I can say it passed with flying colours.
    I'm not much of a BFS kinda user but you might be interested to know that they have some BFS specs reel and the Soloking Acura looks pretty cool. Think they're also rebranding their reels as DOVIELLO in the US market.

    Great review, I find this reel with the strong braking awesome once dialled in for accurate casting light lures into tight corners etc.Very strong drag, in all honesty probably a bit of overkill for such a small reel.

    I would not use the alloy m for bfs, or pitching/skipping light lures.
    I would use it for frogfishing, chatterbaits, swim jigs, punch rigs.
    This is usually a bit heavier type of fishing and the aluminium frame combined with 12 magnetic brakes makes it perfect for that.

      Hi mate,
      How has the alloy m held up to the heavy weights? I was looking at one for 1-3oz lures but wasn't sure if I'd be better off getting a 300 size reel.
      Thanks

    • @valentinoconti3894

      @@jackbassett1773 hi, holding up pretty good, i still use it on my frog setup, paired with a falcon rod and 50lb braid, zero problems until now. If you plan to use fluoro i would recommend you a more pricy reel, for example a Shimano Curado, cheap but smoother and more accurate, it will save you money on fluoro. For braided line applications the alloy m is ideal i would say, bot pitching/punching/flipping and long casting

    These reels are currently like $70 you cannot beat them for the price. I have 3 of them and they’ve been beat up and still work great. I have a few shimano and a diawa(never again). Shimano is definitely a nicer reel. But these reels are great and stand up to abuse. There my go to now.
