Piscifun Carbon X Ultralight Spinning Reel, Carbon Frame, 33lb Max Drag

If you have not heard of or unsure of a Piscifun reel, let me tell you that you do not have anything to worry about; Piscifun makes an awesome reel. The Carbon X in particular is a beautiful reel that gets fish in the boat. It has incredibly smooth bearings, casts like a dream, and has a great drag! I have been fishing almost my entire life and have owned and used many brands of reels, from very cheap to rather expensive reels. Piscifun has delivered a budget-friendly reel that performs as well as if not better than some of the expensive reels I have owned. I have this particular Carbon X 2000 spooled up with 8lb fluorocarbon line for drop shot fishing for bass. The first time I took it out fishing I was very impressed with how easily I was able to cast with it and also with how smooth it was retrieving the line due to the quality bearings. The handle is very comfortable and ergonomic. I fished using this reel most of the day and was very impressed with how much I like the reel. In addition to it working well, it looks great! The black goes with any rod you might put it on and all the cut outs on the spool look rad! Speaking of the spool, it’s braid ready if you want to spool it up with braided fishing line. The reel body and rotor are made from carbon fiber so the reel is super light weight and very strong. This also makes for less fatigue when fishing for an extended period of time. All in all, I am in love with this reel! I will be replacing at least one of my other spinning reels with a Piscifun Carbon X and will be looking at purchasing other Piscifun spinning reels to replace the remainder of my spinning reels.

Nice long smooth casting and super sturdy and powerful fighting decent sized bass

By far my favorite fishing reel for the money. I have used it in both salt and fresh water with great results from redfish to bluegill. The reel is very smooth and feels on par quality wise of reels that cost 3 times the price.

This real is very smooth because of all the bearings, and the drag is also very smooth, which is important to me because I have spilled it up with 4 lb mono.

There was a ton of hype built up around this reel so when I first ordered it I couldn’t wait to get my palms on it. After patiently waiting for it to arrive in the mail it finally came today! The great thing about the shipping is that there was no cost of shipping it and it literally only took three or four days for it to arrive. I personally consider this a pretty quick and realistic time frame for this item to arrive. The unboxing of it was quite exciting probably because of all the hype that was built around this reel and waiting for it to arrive. It came packed very well in its own little bag inside the box with the handle wrapped in bubble wrap for protection. My initial thoughts on it are it has lived up to its reputation. It’s very light for the size, the build quality seems to be spectacular, and the drag seems to be buttery smooth which most people wouldn’t expect out of a reel that is in the sub $100 price range. It seems the Piscifun is doing it right by listening to the customers, building a product that seems to be reliable, at a very reasonable price, and they are doing all these things while maintaining great customer service. I really hope that this company blows up in a huge way and that they continue making a product that everyone that’s passionate about fishing can afford. So in closing if you are looking for a new reel I wouldn’t think twice about purchasing the Carbon X by Piscifun.

Excellent reel.Casts easy with different types of fishing line.Excellent drag.Reasonably priced!

Light and smooth I have used these in different sizes and never had an issue . There very light so a pleasure to fish with

This reel performs so well I purchased another as a gift for my fishing buddy. Super smooth, durable, and perfect for all kinds of lake and stream fishing.

Excellent fishing reel and light weight

Nice fishing reel for float fishing.

Feels good matched up to our egi rods, feels very smooth and light so gives great balance to rods.

I ordered the 1000 size reel and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The weight is so low it's like it's barely attached to the rod. I went out fishing with my brother and he commented on it's good looks too. I have another much more expensive Shimano reel and the drag on this is a lot smoother. Bear in mind if you are using braid, when you tie the initial knot to the spool to get the line on there, make sure to secure the original knot on the spool with a little bit of tape. I would buy another one of these in the morning!

A bit pricey for it's size being a 500 model.
