Questions about Piscifun Carbon X Spinning Reel - Carbon Frame and Rotor, Ultralight 5.1 OZ Spinning Fishing Reel, 5.2:1-6.2:1 High Speed Gear Ratio, 10+1 Shieled BB for Freshwater and Saltwater
Q:
Is this reel good for far casts? i know the piscifun flame spinning reel has even line lay. is this reel similar with line lay?
Answer: Yes, is suitable to do long casts but mostly depends on the type of line and the rod you’re using. Always fill up the spool for longer casts.
Answer: Bas
Q:
The reel came with 2 small metal washers ... don't have a clue where they go ??
Answer: They are used to adjust how the line lays on the spool.
Answer: They go on the spool some where for balance but I've never had to use them
Answer: They go behind the spool. Not sure why but they are for adjusting how your line lays in the spool. Adding more washers puts more line on the back of the spool.
Answer: These are drag washers overtime if you notice your drag slipping add a washer
Q:
What is the difference in models
Answer: How much line they will hold. Also the 1000 has a slower gear ratio. 5.2-1. The 2000 & 3000 are mostly the same size except the 3000 has a larger spool. Both of these models are 6.2-1 gear ratio.
Answer: Size. Line Capacity. I bought a 1000 model. That’s for panfish. Trout even. What you fish for tends to determine the model you need.
Q:
Where is this reel made ?
Answer: This reel is made in china.
Answer: It is made in China. In the same factory as daiwa. This is a Daiwa Tatula reel. Exact same frame and bearings. They made minimal changes to the rotor and spool but it's still basically the same reel.
Answer: China
Answer: China
Q:
Is the knob peened on or can it be unscrewed?
Answer: The knob can be switched out.
Answer: The knob IS NOT screwed in the handle.
Answer: There are no “knobs” on this reel. The reel handle can be removed, and so can the drag assembly.
Answer: There is a pug on the end I have not taken it out but it looks like it can unscrew
Answer: It's peened .
Q:
Im going for 40-50 stripers, is 33lb max drag not what i need ?
Answer: 33lbs of drag will land you 100lb fish. The drag system is meant to let fish take line instead of putting unneeded stresses on your knots and lines. Also, your drag should be set to about 1/4~1/3 if your lines breaking strength. Any higher than that and you’re just asking for lost fish.
Answer: I purchased the 3000, which is mainly used to catch red fish up to 30 lbs. I'd go with the 4000 model for stripers, and yes the 33 lb max drag should do quite well. This reel is a great product.
Answer: It is a good reel but the 4000 may be a bit on the light side. That said it would be fun to try with 20# braid. Mechanically the 33# of drag is more than enough.
Q:
1000 came with NO anti-reverse!? Anyone have one that did, certain models end with S not sure what that is for?
Answer: I have the 2000 and 3000 models and both anti-reverse switches work. I am assuming that you checked the switch on the bottom of the reel that switches from anti-reverse on and off. I think the 4000 model does not have the switch in order to keep salt water from entering the reel. If you have moved the switch from one position to the other and it still reels backward then you must have a defective reel. As far as the "S" on the model number..... that means the reel is equipped with a shallow spool. A good idea on the 1000.
Answer: It states that on their website. I was just about to order a 1000 because I absolutely love the Carbon X 2000.
Answer: Mine doesn’t have one either. Not sure why that is.
Q:
does this have a drain port?
Answer: No...The carbon x spinning reels do not have a drain port. The 2000 and 3000 model has an anti reverse switch on the bottom of the reel where water could possibly drain or enter but the 1000 and 4000 models do not.....a good miss as that usually the first thing to break on a spinning reel. Bait casting reels are all i've noticed with drain ports..
Answer: Sorry, the reel doesn't have a drain port.
Answer: Nope
Answer: No.
Q:
Does anyone have the dimensions for the 2000 and the 3000 model? (ie length 4.5" or 5.4")
Answer: These reels are comparable in size to most other spinning reels. If you like a 2000 in another maker you’ll like this reel. I have the 1000 and it is a very nice reel. Very lightweight and solid. I’m very happy with this reel.
Answer: I’ll check it when I get home later from work. Have to measure it, length and height to give you an idea how big it is. Love the size tho, not too big and not too small either.
Answer: From the tip of the drag button to the end of body is 4 1/2 inches. Hope this helps.
Q:
I ordered both the 2000 and 3000. What is supposed to be the difference. They look identical in reel size and spool size.
Answer: The capacity, the max drag and the retrieve per turn of the 2000 and 3000 are different.
Answer: Checking out Google at “difference in 2000 & 3000 fishing reels” should help.
Answer: 2000 a smaller real then the 3000
Answer: The 3000 should be larger
Q:
Do they not make or have the 3000 model in stock anymore?
Answer: The 3000 model will be available before the end of March.
Q:
3000 or 4000 for a 7ft medium rod, going for small salmon, 8-15lb range?
Answer: The 3000 did not hold for King Salmon on 8 foot rod. I would suggest get the Daiwa bg 3000 series instead..Ut has a better drag... 4000 series is a bit heavy... This carbon x is great in bass fishing but I would not recommend it on Kings.
Answer: Yeas either will work. I use mine to catch redfish and flounder in the same weight range. I have the 3000.
Answer: 2000 freshwater walleye
Answer: Either one depends on how much fight you want! Good luck!
Q:
Why does the reel move when i open the bail to cast my line? Shouldnt the reel not rotate at all? It rotates and gets in the way of my line.
Answer: You need to engage the bail lock!
Answer: You might have the anti-reverse off.
Q:
Is 4000 a good size for serf perch fishing?
Answer: I don't own the Pescifun 4000 spinning reel but own several other brands in that size. I would say that is about right for light weight surf fishing as you have additional strength if you hook up with a larger fish.
Answer: all depends what your fishing for. my big surf reel is a 6000, my small bait reel is a 3000.
Answer: Its more for a light tackle setup, for river or flats. I would go bigger on serf setup.
Q:
Is there a way to get an extra spool if I purchased this reel?
Answer: Yes, if you need to buy an extra spool. You could contact us.
Answer: Go on the Picifun website and ask there.
Q:
How much 10lb braid will fin on the 2000 reel?
Answer: Bad
Q:
Can this be used for left handed people? Can you switch what side the crank is on?
Answer: Yes you can switch it to either side.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Does the bail click lock when opened and closed like lock into the open position
Answer: Yes
Q:
The reel came with 2 small metal washers ... don't have a clue where they go ??
Answer: They are used to adjust how the line lays on the spool.
Answer: They go on the spool some where for balance but I've never had to use them
Answer: They go behind the spool. Not sure why but they are for adjusting how your line lays in the spool. Adding more washers puts more line on the back of the spool.
Answer: These are drag washers overtime if you notice your drag slipping add a washer
Q:
Does it come in a combo with a 7ft rod ?
Answer: This is only spinning reel, if you need the rod you could buy a suitable rod.
Q:
What do the sizes mean? And can i use the 300 for bass trout or karp
Answer: 3000 is the size and yes you can. I use my 4000 for striped bass fishing. Rugged reel!!
Answer: Yes 300 series should be good for bass or inshore salt water. Specks, redfish
Q:
What type of warranty does this reel have?
Answer: 1 year warranty. I have 4 of their reels and use them for saltwater inshore fishing. The oldest is now 3 years and still works great. Their customer service is very good also. I have the 4000 Carbon X and 3 of their Steel Feel 4000's--I prefer them, but they weigh a bit more, so it depends on what you are doing. The drag systems on both reels are great.
Answer: 1 year factory warranty if you want more info get ahold of Piscifun on Facebook. They’ll be glad to
Answer: Looks like 30 days no questions asked.... Otherwise, plenty of info on their website https://www.piscifun.com/pages/faq
Q:
Do tjey come in 5000 or 6000 other places
Answer: No
Q:
What size for walleye? 2000 or 3000?
Answer: 2000 will work fine. Honestly kinda depends on your planned setup. Pair it with your rod size. If you’re going with something 6’6” or under then a 2000 will feel better. Anything over that then a 3000 may just feel better. They actual performance of the reel won’t change except for the amount of line retrieved. The 3000 will be slightly faster, by 3” per revolution, but that’s it.
Answer: The 2000 should do just fine but the 3000 doesn’t weigh that much more and will handle much larger fish fish due to more drag.
Answer: I would go with the 2000. I have a 2000 and I can real in a 30 inch northern pike with 16 lbs line no problem.
Answer: Go with the 300 for the larger line capacity.
Q:
2000 or 3000 for salmon and steelhead?
Answer: Go for the 3000 for sure, the 2000 would be fine for bass, but not salmon.
Answer: Personally, I'd go with the 3000. That is what I use it for.
Q:
Will it work with large catfish?
Answer: If you are talking about catfish over 15-20 lbs, i would go with with the 4000 model which can double as a light surf casting reel. The down side is there is no shallow spool available for this model. The 3000 model will handle most fresh water fish and there are shallow spool spares available for finesse size lines.
Answer: This reel should be fine for large catfish. I wouldn’t go below a model 3000
Answer: I don’t know wht you mean with larger fish,but I caught stripers 5-10lb without the problem...I think this reel is perfect for bass,pike,waleyes,and fish like that...4000 size reel can make easier 15-20 pounds fish ...
Answer: I've landed a 35" shook with 10lb braid with no problem I give it ???????? hope this helps tight lines.
Q:
What size for sac a lait and bad rell do i need putting on 10' lews signature series pole ?
Answer: I think the smaller 1000 would be best for crappie (sac a lait ). Never heard the name bad rell. This reel should keep the weight down.
Answer: The 2000 is perfect for crappie fishing and holds the right amount of line for your 10’ rod.
Answer: First let me say that this is a great reel. It is very smooth and has a great drag. I don’t know how long the life span will be but it has performed flawlessly so far.
Answer: Hello, the 4000 size may be suitable for you.
Answer: the 1000 is perfect for Crappie :)
Q:
I am looking to use this reel for steelhead, how much 30lb braid do yall think i could fit on a 2000 series?
Answer: The 2000 held a little more than 100 yards. It didn't hold as much as I had hoped. I then ordered the 3000 and was surprised to find that the reel used the same frame but a different spool. It holds about an additional 40 yards. I like the reel but have not used it as much as I hoped yet. It seems well made and smooth.
Answer: I recommend going 400 this reel is super light, like super super light might as well get the bigger one and holds a full 300 yard spool with 30lb braid
Answer: I’ve got the 3000 and 4000 on the 3000 you can fit 260 yards of 20lb braid and the 4000 Is 25lb is 360 yards if that helps
Answer: I sugguset that you purchase a bigger size reel .
Q:
when will the 2000 be available
Answer: It would be re-stcock within 10 days.
Q:
Can I use a 30lb or 40lb braid and does anyone know how many yards it will hold?
Answer: The reel calls for no more than 15lb braided, and 150 yards with a mono leader. I can only speak for the 2000 model. Overall very smooth, balanced reel. Honestly it’s a 5 star review all the way!
Answer: I used a 30 lb braid, and got a little over 200 yards on the spool.
Answer: See on box that it holds 250 yards 15 lb test.
Q:
can you use 8 pound line on it?
Answer: You sure can. I use 8-10 on mine.
Answer: Yes
Answer: Absolutely.
Q:
What size would you recommend for panfish and maybe some light bass fishing?
Answer: The real itself is super light any size would be good honestly even a 4000
Answer: 2000. Its lite and has 20lbs of drag. I caught a 40" snook with it.
Q:
Can this real handle getting wet in the surf? I tend to wade out to cast.
Answer: I've used mine several times in the surf. I would say it can handle some light splashing and possibly even a very brief dunking, but probably not much more than that.
Answer: Can handle splashes I wouldn’t submerge this
Answer: I've only had the chance to use it in the surf once since it was purchased. It did get soaked a few times, so far so good.
Q:
Is it pronounced pissy fun or piscky fun?
Answer: From what I've learned on you tube, it is pronounced " Pee-cee-fun" . I thought people were mispronouncing it as they were saying "pissy" fun. This sounds like what happens after too many beers. I thought surely it was refering to piscatorian (fisherman) so I pronounced as "Pis-ski-fun".
Answer: I think Pisky fun
Answer: PEE-SEE FUN
Answer: Piscky
Q:
Is the carbon x 3000 handle reversible for right hand retrieve? Hey
Answer: Yes all of piscfun spinning reels are reversible I own 3. Love them. Just as smooth & Strong as Shimano stradic but half the cost.
Answer: Yes!
Q:
Does this reel have anti reverse? Do I need to rinse it if it gets water inside it?
Answer: Yes it does and you don’t have to rinse it, but it rinse all my reels after use.
Answer: Yes and it's sealed but it's a good habit to rinse it if fishing saltwater even though it's designed for saltwater.
Q:
Does the 3000 cone with the power knob or standard handle?
Answer: Only 4000 & 5000 have power knob, 3000 has standard handle
Answer: My 3000 came with the standard handle.
Answer: Power- reel snapped one week into use. Junk
Answer: Can't tell you, I only have the small ones, 500's I believe
Q:
Does the 3000 Model have manual or automatic Bail release?
Answer: It releases when you start to wind, but as a professional guide, I always advocate for manually closing the bail. If prolongs the life of any spinning reel. ---Capt. Dave inshoredream.com
Answer: Manual
Q:
Is the carbon x2000 available on amazon?
Answer: Yes, it will be available this month.
Q:
Has anyone uses in this the saltwater? Hows it holding up? My Piscifun "saltwater" rated baitcaster rusted out in a few months.
Answer: The carbon x is saltwater approved, sealed, I highly recommend them, my opinion you should still flush with fresh water, contact customer service on your baitcaster!
Answer: I am using this reel strictly for saltwater, so far so good. Retrieve rate is superb. It looks like the build quality is good as well. The round eva knob makes retrieving seamlessly easier. Will review this product once I use it long enough.

Where can i get spare spool for 4000 series?

Q:
Basically what does 33lb max drag mean ?,
Answer: Haven’t tested it to 33lb max, but the drag is super smooth and super strong!
Answer: The amount of drag pressure that a reel can apply when you reel in the fish! You can set the drag to where the fish won’t break off your line but rather you can slowly wear him out!
Answer: It's the maximum about of force in pounds that it takes to strip line off the spinning reel when the drag is tightened all the way down.
Answer: If you hook a scale to the line and tighten the drag and then pull on the scale the drag pressure applied will measure 33# on the scale give or take a little!

So I have 2 32" ice fishing rods both are ultralight would the 1000 be good for those I would run a 5 pound fluorocarbon
Answer: Yes, the 1000 will be good for those.
Answer: Yes the 1000 would be perfect
Q:
Are these reels safe for saltwater?

Product reviews of Piscifun Carbon X Spinning Reel - Carbon Frame and Rotor, Ultralight 5.1 OZ Spinning Fishing Reel, 5.2:1-6.2:1 High Speed Gear Ratio, 10+1 Shieled BB for Freshwater and Saltwater
Bryan Miller : BEST SPINNING REEL FOR THE MONEY!
I’ve been using Piscifun reels for a few years now and this reel by far is my favorite. The best way to sum up this reel is light, smooth, fast and straight up awesome! The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was how light this reel was right out of the box. Once spooled up with Piscifun Lunker braid and on the water I was blowing away at how smooth this reel is with the 10+1 ball bearings! The drag is silky smooth with no dead spots. The faster gear ratio is awesome for presentations where line pick up is needed! Piscifun has really hit the nail on the head with the Carbon X! Best spinning reel I’ve used for the money!
sam vang : Very nice reel.. So far..
Of course on arrival, I do this to every reel is to replace all pre lubricates with new grease and oil. Its been a month now and it's still smooth as butter, drag is very strong I had to dial it down a lot. Landed tons of sheepheads,16-20" walleyes, 3-4lb smallmouth, even a 15lb channel catfish on 8lb flourcarbon leader.
Keep in mind, any reel will draw in water, any reel can hold sand, dust, dirt, its commonsense not to submerge any reel, let it rest on sand or dirt.
It's unfortunate for those who received bad reels or had bad experience. Hopefully Piscifun steps up to help the unfortunate buyers.

Amazon Customer : Great Value Smooth Drag
I bought this reel on the advice of a Hayward Wisconsin Guide, Tom Boley’s YouTube videos. I was in need of another spinning reel for an upcoming trip and thought, given the low price, I’d give it a try. I actually bought one off of their website on the week of the 4th of July but then was worried I’d not receive the package in time for when I left for my trip. I got anxious enough to order an additional of the same off of Amazon. I paired each with a st croix walleye eyecon rod in 6’6” and 7’ in medium light. I used both reels last week and I’m honestly impressed. I’m a pretty hardcore Abu Garcia guy and have reels all across their price spectrum. I like these reels probably more than a Revo SX which I think was around $160 when I bought it. I’ve used them in a live bait jigging application and to rip jigging raps and both have worked well. The jigging rap application is extremely important to have a smooth drag that doesn’t take too much extra to get started if that makes sense. These reels performed very smoothly and took up slack very quickly. If you’re looking for a reel on a budget that will possibly be the nicest reel you have or you are looking to add another quality product to your arsenal I would not hesitate to recommend this product. Although I have only used them a week I would definitely say they are worth your time. I only gave 4 stars for durability because I have only used them for a week. I gave 4 stars for weight because obviously my high end reels are lighter. The value for money is definitely 5 stars so far.
Customer : Great! ????????
I was very skeptical of buying a reel that isn't a household name... I am glad I bought it though! I stacked this with a fenwick ultralight and put berkley x9 on it as a mainline. Very smooth casting! The version I got was the 1000.
Jordan M. Dahl : Super impressed
I was blown away with how well this reel performed. I'd stack it up with some of the best reels on the market. I was instantly impressed with how good it looked once I unboxed it, not to mention how lightweight and smooth it is.
When I hit the water with the reel I was once again impressed with the casting ability. The larger spool allows the line to fall off the reel with very little resistance. The drag was butter smooth too. No problems whatsoever.
I've used this reel for about a week (5 guide trips) on mille lacs targeting elusive smallmouth bass, so the test is rather grusome. I haven't had any issues with it. Im so impressed that I've ordered 2 more to add to my arsenal.
Try it out, you wont regret it.

lp2767 : wow, only $69.00
I wasn't expecting a whole lot for 69 bucks...as i have spinning reels in the $200 price range. I was impressed with this reel right out of the box,then spooled it up with braid and started using it. This reel is absolutely amazing! It makes me a little mad that i have $150-$200 spinning reels that don't perform as well as this reel. Gave it a 4 for durability as i have only used it for a few months, but have not noticed any issues yet. I break my reels down right out of the box to lube them the way i like them, the guts of this reel has no parts or components that appear "cheaper" or less durable than any other reel i own.
Amazon Customer : "Meh". Not overly impressed so far.
This is my first Piscifun spinning reel. Seems like it's built "OK" . Very smooth right out of the box but it tends to struggle a little and get a little noisy when there is significant strain on the line and the drag is set for fish in the 10# range. I tend to wonder if it will hold up as well as my Shimano and Pflueger reels. Capacity is way overstated . I got it to squeeze on 200 yds of 15# J braid. (Not 270+ of 30# as stated.) . Bail seems stiff and prone to sticking. Hopefully it wears in. Lastly, the instructions talk about adding washers to tweak how the line spools. Mine did not come with those washers. IMO, it may be worth the $60 if used sparingly but I don't see it as being a long term value. Hope I'm proven wrong.
Anubis : Love It!
Sexy little reel. Super smooth. Switching the handle was super easy. Can’t wait to slay the crappie with it this spring.
Robert Schulz : Amazing Piscifun Carbon X Reels
This reel is awesome! I was skeptical because it’s not a “known name”. But after purchasing two right from their website and using one on my walleye rod, and the other on a light action rod, I was super delighted with the quality and performance of it. I immediately used my Amazon credit to purchase another one to add to my arsenal. I’m pretty sure by next spring, I will have replaced all of my reels with all Piscifun Carbon X.
Ivan Jovanovic : Good ,very good and light reel!
Very aggressive black mat color,you can feel quality of the reel in your hend,very light,very smooth ,i have 3000 size,that is more than enough for everyone who fishing pond,small river,for bass,trout ,pike,small catfish,all kinds of fish for artificial lures and everything else. 90% of us are not professional fisherman and don’t waist your money for something expensive. I paired this reel with Toadfish rod 7’4” medium light,extra fast and work like a sniper. I mean it.
stephen g. : Great quality!
Havent caught anything huge yet but from what ive experienced this is a close to premium feeling reel the only thing i dont like is that round handle thing, it works but not my thing, other then that its a great reel nd id highly suggest picking this thing up
woodchuck : inspect carefully, knob and handle can come apart
Most of this reel I love; however--when reeling in a big redfish, the knob came off the handle and parts fell into the saltwater where I was fishing. The handle assembly should be redesigned, and maybe they should provide a spare with each reel. It is sad because otherwise this is a great reel. It took 10 days (out of my total 35 day florida trip) to get a replacement handle--way too long. A fatal flaw in a "reel"--- fix this, and please send me a spare handle assembly!!!!!
Larry Z : Best of the budget/affordable reels, but marginal benefits over cheaper ones
Take Home Point: Best of the budget/affordable reels from the online fishing companies (E.G. Kastking, Picifun, etc.).
Extremely light weight relatively to size, strong carbon fiber/aluminum design, and solid performance for most people’s needs.
BUT really not much internal difference compared to the $30-$60 reels with marginal benefits.
Long Review:
I received this reel and initially loved it so much that I went and ordered another one. However after using the reel a second time, I decided to return the second unopened one because while I do believe that the Picifun Carbon X is currently the best reel from the budget/affordable online fishing companies; there is not enough benefits compared to the $30-60 reels to justify buying another one. But on the positive notes first.
1. Lightweight: because of the carbon fiber on the neck, body, and rotor of the reel, the 4000 size is incredibly light and strong. The aluminum spool is also designed to minimize the amount of aluminum used and thus the weight. I would highly recommend the reel for the anglers constantly casting.
2. Smooth: Working the reel feels smooth and solid. I did not feel any slippage or straining in the gear system when reeling, but I cannot say that for larger fish (60+ lbs). Furthermore, as you can see in the pics, the internal is as described with a high gearing ratio plus brass pinion. Nothing seems flimsy or plastic in the internals.
3. Gearing and retrieval: Gear ratio simply means that for 1 turn of the handle, the rotor spins x times. In this case, the rotor spins ~6 times for every turn. This is important because when you need to reel in a fish quickly, for example, away from rocks and obstacles, you want speed. Also important for lures since faster retrieval means your lure can spend more time at the top if it’s going fast.
4. Screw in handle: both convenient and annoying. Being able to remove and attach the handle simply by spinning the handle is super nice for storing and transporting the reel. However, if you are fighting fish, one might occasionally and accidentally spin the reel in the other direction. This loosens the handle which is annoying in the middle of the action.
5. “Sealed” drag system: There is indeed a rubber seal in the reel cap so that less water gets into the top of the drag system. BUT, the entire bottom of the spool and drag washers are quite exposed to water especially if you fish the surf and occasionally dunk the reel. So I don’t quite get what the big deal is given that water will eventually go from the bottom of the drag washers to the top.
The drag washers are large carbon fiber ones, and the sound of the drag clicking is also quite nice. Not annoying or uneven.
As to the main negative that made me return the extra reel
Not really significant improvements for most people to justify the $80 Carbon X over the cheaper Picifun Honor XT or Viper II:
The internals of this reel is not that different from the $40 Picifun Viper II. This does makes servicing the reel super easy. But that also means the main function of the reel (to retrieve line) is comparably the same across the fishing reel line up.
I would be more excited if Picifun took the external design and applied to a better internal system even if it was more expensive. Two most desired improvements would be
A. they could better seal the reel for surf fisherman to prevent sand and saltwater buildup inside the reel.
B. Add carbon fiber to the internals and replace the remaining plastic and salt susceptible brass and steel.

Scott Butler 1972 : QUALITY, EXCELLENT PRICES, FAST SHIPPING, GREAT LINE OF PRODUCTS, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE
I loved everything about the Carbon X 3000, pair it with a good rod that loads up, the fun is on! I joy and tourney fish with mine! The reel is built excellent, great quality, light, georgous on the right rod, I spooled mine with 15 lb piscifun lunker braid, cast light baits like nothing you have ever seen, fresh or saltwater fishing with this reel is a plus since it is sealed, the drag is easily adjusted, but with 15 lb braid don't be afraid to tighten the drag down and horse a largemouth bass around! I will def. be buying a couple more, I'm honestly surprised this reel is priced at this level, should be higher, piscifun products have come a long way! I just bought a phantom baitcaster, expecting the same quality! I give the Carbon X 5 stars all day long, thanks to Piscifun for an awesome reel, looking forward to seeing new products from them!
BRONSON : Dude 100%
Honestly, I never write this stuff. This is one of the best reels I’ve felt and I don’t no how the heck it’s only about $65 bucks ... stackable to my $200 Shimanos I honeslty like this reel better, the look the feel and I’m not afraid to much of dropping this thing cause I know it’s a tank. Say f it and buy it it’s awesome reel for the money.

Amazon Customer : Sweet reel!
It’s smooth, lite and fast also I’m surprised how good this reel is for the price. It won’t be the last one that I buy!
Amazon Customer : High Performance, Affordable, AWESOME!
I ordered the Carbon X by Piscifun after a friend told me it was one of the best reels he has used. After receiving the reel and using it in rain, cold, heat and salt I can truly say this reel is an absolutely incredible value. I’ve used higher end reels the cost close to $200 and the Carbon X can hold its ground! I will be buying several more in spring.
Dar B : Purchased for a gift.
This was a gift for someone who is an experienced fisherman. The exact one he wanted. I’m rating it five stars because he researched them. He was happy with it.
Amazon Customer : Durability
Slick looking reel, light-weight, but the quality is not up to par. Durability is a weakness. The reel itself started squeaking and the bail was defective upon arriving and slowly got worse. Compared to my other gear with the same proper care, lasted and performed much better. Customer service was unable to help with the bail and very slow to respond.
lp2767 : wow, only $69.00
I wasn't expecting a whole lot for 69 bucks...as i have spinning reels in the $200 price range. I was impressed with this reel right out of the box,then spooled it up with braid and started using it. This reel is absolutely amazing! It makes me a little mad that i have $150-$200 spinning reels that don't perform as well as this reel. Gave it a 4 for durability as i have only used it for a few months, but have not noticed any issues yet. I break my reels down right out of the box to lube them the way i like them, the guts of this reel has no parts or components that appear "cheaper" or less durable than any other reel i own.

Terry Teo : Great Value as long you....
Picifun has always been a company that gives us the cutting edge fishing tech at a great value. As long as you know buying it and think its comparable to a Daiwa or Shimano.
( Some ppl reviews gave it a poor rating because of it...duh :)
Best to open it up and five it a good greasing and oil before you use it for any type of salt water application. Ya I know its rated for salt use with the carbon x moniker. Had other older Picifun reels with the same claim but I forgot to clean it after fishing in San Diego and it was rusted thru. At least grease the screws that hold the frame because once that get rusted..you might as well use the reel as an egg beater.
As for the catch. You will find the reel tries its best to reel in your catch ( was catching Carp at Lake Mead ) you will feel that the reel was trying and the drag was decent but the flex was pronounce when you fight a big fish 5 to 8 pounds.
Still decent backup reel...and great value. Maybe one day Picifun will be as good or better that the top 2 Daiwa and Shimano...I am sure of it.

just me : Defective
I had this reel for less than a month. I took it out for the 3rd time and the handle began to stick after a full stop of any forward movement. The reel is also making a clicking sound like the gears are grinding. This all started on my 3rd outing with it. Again I have only used this reel twice before, and it worked fine. I have caught fish with it. However, the sticky handle and gear grinding took me for a surprise. I'm not happy with this new reel. Maybe I just got a bad one.
Virus Osirus : Good customer service
I got this reel because of the weight and amount of braid it held, not sure if it was a misprint on the reel itself since it said Carbon X 4000 but did not hold amount of braid advertised (320 yards of 25lb braid). I contacted their customer service and they fixed this issue for me. I would recommend this company and their products. Best bang for your buck.
Anubis : Love It!
Sexy little reel. Super smooth. Switching the handle was super easy. Can’t wait to slay the crappie with it this spring.
Vince : Light weight, Smooth
What Very nice reel .. I absolutely love it. Light weight great gear ratio smooth cast smooth retrieval it handled a 5 lbs with NO PROBLEM highly recommend. The Price is Great as well. It really can compete with a Shimano Stradic. But half the price I bought 2 a 2000 for Crappie and a 4000 for Largemouth.
Greg Moore : First impressions are positive/Fair price for the performance
I would consider myself an advance angler and do a fair amount of tournament fishing. I also fish as much as possible and always buy high end equipment so I felt I might be disappointed by this purchase.
I am getting tired of dropping $150 + on a new reel every time I buy a new rod that are typically $350 +. For that reason the Carbon X was an attractive option.
Out of the box the Carbon X felt smooth and light and seemed to be as solid as some of my more expensive reels from Daiwa and Shimano.
So far I have had one day on the water with the reel and can honestly say I was impressed with the performance. Very smooth drag and I had no complaints. The reel performed very well..
Time will tell if it as durable as my Daiwa reels. But if it holds up over the next couple of months I do plan on buying another for a new custom rod I just ordered.

Seth : Best spinning reel Ive’d owned!!
This carbon x is hands down the smoothest spinning reel I’ve ever laid my hands on! On top of that it feels like nothing in your hands with it only weighing 7.8 oz! The 2000 series is perfect for most game fish bass Walleye trout crappie bluegill. It’s 6:2:1 gear ratio makes it easy to catch up with fish when they make a hard run at you! Definetly gonna add more of these in my arsenal!
Robert : Overall a great light reel.
Light, smooth all around, very good retrieve, and looks good. Will take a whole 300 yard spool of jbraid x8 8lb line with a tiny bit to spare.
Update: After many uses, the reel is still very good, only one slight annoyance is that there's some play in the reel handle that I now notice more often than I like.

mnmhough 21 : Light weight, smooth, strong... best value ever!
Okay, really don't do these, but couldn't resist. I got this because it sounded too good to be true. So far I'm ????% impressed. I've landed at least 3 dozen redfish and spec trout in 2 trips. The biggest so 24 1/2". The reel has performed flawlessly. The drag is as smooth as silk and sounds so sweet when those stud reds run! I've paired it with a Fenwick HMG 6'6" light spinning rod. It is light and solid with zero looseness or play. It's a good (so far) as any reel I've owned (shimano Stradic, Quantum S3, Penn Battle).
UPDATE- Have now caught 2 30" plus Reds

Ryan Repke : EXCELLENT REEL
Light weight, compact, durable, nice drag, smooth. Literally the best reel for the price. I have 7 total now and each one has been excellent. I challenge anyone to find me a better reel for the price. Its not possible
Eric Altena : Excellent reel for the price. Very smooth!
Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this reel. Impressively smooth and solid. Have caught several larger fish on it already and the drag is very nice as well as the overall operation. Excellent product for the money!
Ryland Morey : Works great, well built.
Couldn't be happier. Very smooth, well built, lightweight.
Drag setting is gradual like it should be. Its not "all or nothing" like with most reels.
Disassembled to inspect internals and check for grease. Looked great.

Thomas M Smigielski : Jig fishing
I am puzzled why it is so hard to flip the bail after casting/ dropping your lure, I like the weight, feel, but it is not as smooth as others. It should be made clear that the 500 does not have a on/off for the reverse mechanism. Overall good value for the price.

Jordan M. Dahl : Super impressed
I was blown away with how well this reel performed. I'd stack it up with some of the best reels on the market. I was instantly impressed with how good it looked once I unboxed it, not to mention how lightweight and smooth it is.
When I hit the water with the reel I was once again impressed with the casting ability. The larger spool allows the line to fall off the reel with very little resistance. The drag was butter smooth too. No problems whatsoever.
I've used this reel for about a week (5 guide trips) on mille lacs targeting elusive smallmouth bass, so the test is rather grusome. I haven't had any issues with it. Im so impressed that I've ordered 2 more to add to my arsenal.
Try it out, you wont regret it.

dwcannon : Good Reel
Really like this reel. It has a great looks and feel. But for 3 times the money, I’ll stick with the Flame. The flame has better casting and performance and is an amazing reel for less than $30.
Rob K. : Irresponsibly lightweight
Picked up the 1000 size on prime day for a steal and this reel far exceeded my expectations! I put it on a 5'6" St. Croix legend elite panfish series and it's easily the lightest combo I've ever held. Drag is smooth and the handle turns like butter. 10/10!

MB : absolutely my favorite reel I have ever owned!
I was looking for a new reel to pair with a rod I recently purchased. I have ordered piscifun reels before and have had a great experience with them. I decided to order another one. last one I ordered was a honor but I decided to give the carbon x a try when I saw the spec. I was pleasantly surprised then it came in the mail. the reel was packaged very well in a sturdy well marked box. inside the box was a felt bag with the reel inside. spun the handle on and added line. I was very impressed with the very nicely constructed reel. its light, smooth and very nice looking. I think this a great value and would pay much more for this reel. great value! after I lined the reel I needed to give this a try. went down to the lake to give it a whirl. the carbon x worked flawlessly. the bail was smooth, retrieved the line evenly. the reel handled every fish that came its way, even a larger pike that met its match. the carbon drag worked perfectly and I just fell I love with this reel. I will be ordering more carbon x reels and will be replacing all my older reels. don't even think twice, order this reel!!!
PB_in_NW : Beautiful reel, but no anti-reverse switch
As another reviewer noted, disappointed to find no anti-reverse switch. First reel ever without one, sadly took it for granted. May take it out for a try before I decide to return it.
Ivan Jovanovic : Good ,very good and light reel!
Very aggressive black mat color,you can feel quality of the reel in your hend,very light,very smooth ,i have 3000 size,that is more than enough for everyone who fishing pond,small river,for bass,trout ,pike,small catfish,all kinds of fish for artificial lures and everything else. 90% of us are not professional fisherman and don’t waist your money for something expensive. I paired this reel with Toadfish rod 7’4” medium light,extra fast and work like a sniper. I mean it.

Filip : Gear broke down on 1st use / UPDATED
I would like to inform Piscifun and other fishermen of my experience with P carbon x 4000. Arrived fast, very light and smooth. The real issue happened when I hook my first fish (drift boat in South FL); immediately after few cranks started to 'skip' the gear and as you are turning the knob it was making a 'broken down cranking noise'; it didn't engage the drag although it was calibrated to do so. We were going for yellow tails and my other set up had penn 4500 so I had to switch to that one. I am REPLACING this unit through Amazon and will give piscifun another try b/c I want to believe it was just a faulty unit. I am using shimano stradic and penn regulary, daiwa bg for heavier setup and this is my first venture outside the 'brand' name reels. Will be happy to update this posting after the second one arrive and we test it little bit more. I do like the enormous drag but it has to perform all around....will keep this post open.
8/6/19
Updated post.
Received the new reel and so far it has been much better than the first one. I did try to use artificial bate in the Golf side FL without luck, the line (Suffix / ghost 25 lb) keep on getting tangled at casting light 1/4 oz lure and it was frustrating. Will not be using it for casting, for that purpose I'm using a smooth Shimano. Will test the reel this week again, live bait deep-sea fishing and update on the drag.
UPDATE: 8/17/19
Same issue as the first reel. The gear slips and makes a grinding noise. I lost my fish but I'm also returning the reel.
I wanted to like this reel and give Piscifun another try and it didn't work. The reel looks great but the performance is poor. Would not recommend due to reliability and performance issues.
