Thanks for the look! My reel broke on Friday. The lock that holds the handle outward on my Rapela rod snapped. The cheap bit of plastic was all that held it in its regular place. I patched it up using some tape, but gotta replace it (or the handle, if I can find one).
They have another series (Carbon X instead of Carbon X II). They just sent me one of those as well. Basically exactly the same design, but a bit heavier. They are cheaper than the X II's.
Great review Sean! I've been very interested in the Carbon X and X2 myself, and I'm sure I'll pick one up sooner or later. Nice Northerns to break it in!😎🎣
Great unboxing and testing of a great reel Sean! BIG fan of Piscifun and their products. Their customer service is second to none. Sweet to see the catches on it. That reel is going to serve you well this season and beyond - tight lines!👊💥🎣
@@AnglingSpiders Not sure where you get that info from. Official store page of the x ii lists : [1000 -> 5.5oz] [2000 -> 7.2oz] [3000 -> 7.4oz] I'd love the 2k be just 5.5oz, don't get me wrong.
If you downsize your line to 10lbs you’ll get more on and a better casting distance. 20lb is heavy for your set up. I would even run 6lb. You have a leader anyways so I think you will find you like lighter main line a lot more especially if you’re using spider wire it’s a lot thicker line than other brands so you could go a lot lighter. You’ll also find braid breaking rating is massively higher than what it says so if you ran 10lb it would actually probably break at 20lb. Your gear is a light set up and probably not rated for 20lb to really find the value in it. Lighter line will also catch you more fish.
20 pound is heavy, but I am mainly a pike fisherman and some of the lakes I go to have fish over 20 pounds. It is overkill for the smaller ones. The reel is rated for 20 pound braid, but I do have it on a medium rod rated fro 12 pounds. That being said, I have caught over 130 pike already this year without issue. Thanks for the comment, always valuable to get advice.

You put that bad boy through the ringer. Good review and test. I like their stuff. I have a alijoz 300 I use as a swimbait reel
Thanks, love the reel so far. I have another to review as well
Thanks for sharing the test my friend!
You bet
I have a couple of their baitcasters. No complaints and they've both been put through the wringer. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another Piscifun
Good to hear, I really like it so far
I’ll have to try this spinning reel out my friend. Good product review!
Thank so much, I have another to review as well
great job my friend with the video
Thank you 👍
funny enough I just filmed a video for the same reel for my Instagram 🤣🤣 piscifun was great to work with
I saw that, great video!
I bought one of those reels. Very nice it is. Excellent review Sean.
Thank you so much

Thanks, they also sent me a Carbon X - I will have that review up soon
@@AnglingSpiders that's awesome!

Thanks Joe, I was hoping to work with them based on your previous videos. They have been fantastic so far and really liking the reel.
Great review of the reel! Awesome that you could collaborate with this company! And I’m glad you had success at that spot!
Thanks, they are a great company and just sent me another one to review.
Thanks for the review! btw: it looks like - according to the datasheets - the 2000 model is 7.2oz not 5.5oz.
@@iDoPew Thanks. You might be looking at the weight of the Carbon X 2000. This is the Carbon X II. Should be 5.5 oz

@@iDoPewok thanks. I will look into it. I took the weight right off of the box that the reel was in.
Nice vid like the new real! What number pike are you at on the year? Did you get 100?
Yes, I passed it. I will have a giveaway update soon

Thanks for the comment
never heard of them which stores can you get them at,are they a new company.ill stick with my pfluegers
They are not new, but more popular in the US. They are mainly online on their own website and Amazon
so how much further is you cast with that reel?
and was that Travers?
Good question, hard to say, but I was definitely reachnig some areas close to share that I couldn't with my other reel. Not Tarvers, Twin.
