Piscifun Carbon X Spinning Reels, Light to 5.1oz, Carbon Frame and Rotor, 33LBs Max Drag, 10+1 Shielded BB, 5.2:1/6.2:1 High Speed Gear Ratio, Smooth Powerful Saltwater Freshwater Spinning Reel

I love this reel. I've used piscifun reels, but this was my first carbon x. Smooth, sturdy and very light.

Ordered the Carbon X because I wanted something light and durable, something that I could fish with all day with minimal fatigue. Piscifun did a great job with this reel for sure. I have it strapped on a medium/fast power rod and the entire combo is incredibly light. In the hand, you can hardly feel the weight of this reel, it's extremely comfortable and there is no doubt in my mind that you will love this reel as well. The Carbon X has an extremely smooth and powerful drag as well. I opted for the 2000 size because I generally prefer a smaller reel, usually do to weight. I will for sure be ordering the next size up when I order again. Bigger spools provide for better line management and quicker intake of line. When drop shotting I've noticed that the fish swim at the boat quite a bit so with the quicker gear ratio of this reel and the bigger spool, catching up to these fish should not be an issue. The spool is braid ready so there is no need to tie on mono or fluorocarbon backing when getting your reel setup, simply just tie the braid to the spool and start loading er up. Overall construction of this real is top notch, I've already taken it apart to oil it as i do with every reel i own whether used or new and it appears as if there aren't any cheap components that will let you down, great stuff here! The last thing i want to comment on is the appearance, man this thing looks sick! I lied, the last last thing i want to comment on is the price point, how in the world is it possible to get a $200 reel quality wise for under $80, it shouldn't be possible but it is and it would be wise to take advantage of that right now!

Just spent 4 days using this reel and wow. Phenomenal product, maybe my best reel at a great price. Smooth as butter.

I'm a Quantum guy, but I also have lot of other reels mid range to flagships. Penns, Shimano (Stratic Ci4) etc but I prefer and have a better luck with Quantums when it comes to dependably. I'm a weekend warrior kind of guy, I dont care for tournaments or make this a way of life. I just enjoy fishing and have fished fresh and salt waters. Most of my reels I pick up second hand or when local outfitters liquidate or when they get clearances out (main source). But I've been seeing this reel online for a while now and thought let's see what the hype is all about.First off, it's a very attractive spool. Quiet the machining was the first thing I noticed, I dont like the narling in the spool as it aesthetically looks aggressive but functionally is a line file. Closest thing to me getting spooled, are lake trout or sturgeon here in MN, so it'll be fine for all other targeted game fish here. Upon closer inspection of the spool some of those hardware look very cheap, like tin. I'm not expecting titanium or stainless steel but just pointing that out there for those that think this is worth much more than what its cost. Drag system is nice, and internal system of the reel is ok. Functionally, out of the box was a little stiff for me but nothing some reel oil and grease cant fix. I haven't found the time to really break it all down to get a better look at the bearings but they feel ok. But it feels good.Casting was good on mono, floral, and braid, I cant complain. And bail functioned ok. Not too loose or not too stiff, I dont care for back reeling so I can't comment on that, but it does have that option. Line tie is not impressive but I dont plan on using it anyways.6.2 to 1 ratio is what you'd expect out of most reels so nothing exciting there. Maybe I'm just used to seeing upper 5s and low 6s. I'm not a fan of how the handle is, seems like it'll break if you ever dropped it. It's thin but that's just my opinion. The grip feels standard like every other grip.It handled fish just fine. Actually better than I expected for the price. Overall it's a good reel, definitely does not compare to any high end or flagship reels out there that everyone companies it to. Feels more like a starter reel for those looking into taking fishing more seriously. If I had to compare it to a reel on the market I'd say the Pflueger President. I'd buy a few of these anyday and used them more as a loaner reel when I take first timers, or friends out.Final thoughts, for the price it's good, the feel was okay not the greatest. The looks at first glance is nice but dont expect the highest quality hardware, you're paying for what you get. This is a budget reel that compares to big box brands. Overall it's a good reel for the price, but not the holy grail of reels. I'd buy again.Note: Your gear should complement your skill out in the field. The tools you have are only as good and effective as the user.

Excellent product, great price

Very nice, smooth reel.

Sehr gute leicht Rolle benutze sie zu Forellen Angeln. Bremse sehr gut einstellbar habe schon ein 2,5kg Fisch damit gut Fangen können.

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.

Good, I like it, thinking of buying another but bigger size.
