Product Description


Fully Sealed Carbon to Stainless Drag System Requiring no maintenance except simple rinsing for both fresh and saltwater fishing. Sealed drag and close machining tolerances-Sand and small gravel could not find its way into the reel.	Click Drag and Retrieve The drag is alternating carbon, Teflon and stainless design, more than ample drag strength. Provides accurate and repeatable drag settings. Platte is not exactly silent, there is a pleasant, very subdued click in and out going.	Large and Flattened Drag Knob The drag system has a larger working surface , makes it easy to adjust with a fish on, better for heat dissipation and smoothness. Flattened drag knob is good to avoid the risk of a loop of slack line inadvertently entangling around it.


Precise CNC High Grade Aluminum and Anodized Strong yet lightweight, sports a heavily ventilated spool to shed weight yet keep its strength. The rim is vented but flat and smooth surfaced for ease of palming for additional drag. The machine work and finish polishing is highly professional, not a tool mark to be seen anywhere.	Large Arbor Design Increases retrieve rate, hold more backing and fly line, and reduce line coil memory. Picks up line fast to give you the edge over freshwater and saltwater species. It features a large arbor design with good aspect ratios.	Easy Gripping Knurled Knob The knob is knurled for easy gripping, ported to reduce unnecessary mass. Double screwed, smooth rotating, damage-proof metal handle with slight grooving for enhanced grip. The threaded, knurled captive spool-lock knob, quick-change design with no springs to fail or parts to loose.

Questions about Piscifun Platte Fly Fishing Reel Large Arbor Fully Sealed Drag with CNC-machined Aluminum Alloy Body 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 (Gunmetal,Black,Ice Blue)

Are spare spools available for this reel yet?

Answer: Yes, please contact Piscifun Customer Support if you need spare spools of the Platte fly reel.

Answer: are 7/8 spools available now for any of the colors

Is the reel made in China?

Answer: South Korea

Why does this reel cost $75 more on Amazon than Pascifun website? It wasn't two weeks ago

Answer: Different seller at

Answer: Make sure you are looking at and comparing the same model and size reels.

What’s a good rod to pair this with -9/10wt reel

Answer: My reel is a 7/8 and I have it paired with a 4 pc 9' #8 Fenwick. Fenwick is an outstanding rod with limited lifetime warranty and it performs like the big guns. Also, if you are new to salt water fly fishing it won't break your bank account. BTW the reel is phenomenal have been extremely pleased with it performance.

Answer: Mine is on a 10’ 7 wt. Orvis Trident

Do the reels have all metal parts?

Answer: Hi! I don't have it in front of me, but it appears they do - except for Delrin Drag Washers and maybe the handle.

Hello, concerning piscifun platte 7/8 reel. how many yds of backing (20 or 30lb) & how many yds of 7wt fly line would be adequate for this reel, thank

Answer: Ok since you are loading a 7/8wt reel you must be after large fish that being said I never know how much I put on in backing I put enough backing on say 1/2 inch then you always put all of the fly line on if you can not get it all on then take your fly line off and remove some of your backing. Better yet if you have a fly shop in your area take your reel in and have them put backing on it's inexpensive. good luck br.

Answer: Timothy, I put 150 yds of 20 lb backing and a 100 ft 8 wt fly line. RIO Bonefish Quickshooter Fly Line. The reel is a very good reel for the price and worked flawlessly on a trip to Belize.

Answer: I put 100 yds. of 20 lb. braid backing on with a WF-7-F/S Orvis Hydros Bank Shot Sink Tip which is 100' long. Spools good, doesn't over fill reel. Great reel; bargain with the sealed bearings.

Answer: Your fly line is set, therefore my best is to add 20 lb backing at ~100 yards. you probably never get to the backing! It's just a backup. Great reel- might say- put a little removeable locktite on the arbor screw thread to prevent loosening while fishing! Important. Think the bearings & drag are exceptional! Happy fishing!

Answer: Because I use the reel for pike and muskie, I used a 30lb backing on the reel. Standard 100yd 30lb backing works just fine for me. Most standard fly lines are 100ft. Fills it with no issues.

Answer: FYI mine feel apart the first time using it. Not sure on the yards if you buy fly line at bass pro they’ll put backing on for free

Answer: its ok its not a Ross or Orvis

Hi, how much the reel with spare spool? Thank a lot!

Answer: Around usd100 and can be lesser on sale. Spare spool is only for 5/6 and will cost u usd68 if im not mistaken

Is the drag system equal or better than the Redington rise/behemoth?

Answer: I can comment on the Redington Behemoth due to the fact that I use the reel. The Behemoth is an excellent reel for it's value and I would recommend it to anyone. I use a 12wt for my Tarpon and big game applications and the drag system can't be beat. Now to your question. If you are going for big game or a speedster like a bone fish, go with the Behemoth. In other words the Behemoth beats a lot of reels. However, it's a lot heavier.

Answer: The drag system is definitely comparable and possibly superior. The people I know with the Redington reels have had issues when they are wet. The Piscifun drag hasn't slipped on me, even when in wet or bitter cold conditions.

Answer: I don't have the REDDINGTON to compare it with. I'm happy to own mine and would buy extra spool for it, when they come available. I would trust this drag on BONEFISH, or smaller KINGFISH.

Answer: To be absolutly honest with you I haven't used the reel yet. That being said I hve several fly reels in my reel box 20 plus all costing more than the reel you are asking about I was impressed with the quality of the workmanship put into and the price cais fantastic. Hope this helps. Br.

Answer: Can't make a comparison however, this reel has worked flawlessly for me on several fishing trips to Montana.

Will this drag be great for king salmon?

Answer: Ummm, when you're talking king salmon you're talking a beast. Just make sure your reel weight is heavy enough. The drag for my worked perfectly with spanish mack which is a hard hitting fast fish.

Answer: I would assume it would since it handled some nice sized tarpon.

Why does this reel cost $75 more on Amazon than Pascifun website? It wasn't two weeks ago

Answer: Different seller at

Answer: Make sure you are looking at and comparing the same model and size reels.

I have the 9/10 weight good enough for Michigan king salmon?

Answer: I would.be more concerned about the 9 or 10 wt. rod than the Platte reel. This is an excellent reel and it should have no trouble handling big kings.

Answer: This is a big reel and very strong. With the right rod would land fish over 100 pounds. No problem with Salmon. Would recommend this reel to anyone. Literary Shocked how great it was.

Answer: Yes, absolutely. You will love this reel!

Is. The drag on 7/8 platte carbon stainless or cork stainless???

Answer: It is carbon to stainless drag system. Hope it helps!

Answer: Hey you are buying a an inexpensive reel one well worth the money spent . If that is the deciding factor spend four hundred dollars on a named product.

alloy body sizes what does that mean

Answer: Aluminum alloy refers to the fact that the reel is made of aluminum mixture to strengthen the material. The size is the width of the reel and will allow more or less line on the reel. Depending on what you are fishing for, you will need to determine how much line you need and therefore what size reel.

Answer: Aluminum alloy is composit mix of both steel and aluminum. Basically a full metal frame. It’s really strong, durable, yet lightweight.

Why is this more expensive then Crest?

Answer: It's amuch better drag system.

Answer: I am not aware of Crest? is this a brand name of a fly reel? . I suggest you go to You Tube and present your question

Answer: I have both the Piscifun Platte and Crest, I really like both and recommend both. My guess is that the Platte drag system is more costly, I also really like the large drag knob on the Platte.

Answer: The drag systerm and seal design are different. The cost of the platte reel is higher. Hope it helps!

What is the width of the interior line storage area of the reel? Also, can you tell me how much backing the 7/8 wt. reel can accommodate?

Answer: The width of the interior line storage is 1". I have 5 wt. line and my reel is chuck full. 100 'of backing and 100 ' of wt. 5 line

Answer: Specifications

Does it have the clicking sound when stripping line? Sounds dumb but im one that likes that sound.

Answer: Hello, the answer is NO to clicking while stripping.

Answer: It does, but it is pretty quiet.

Answer: Yes it does

How much backing can input on the reel, I know it says 20lb 100yards on the 7/8 but can inputvmore or use the braid backing that is smaller?

Answer: This reel easily will hold 100 yrds of 20lb backing and even more finer diameter braid. Ultimately it depends on what fly line you decide to go with...some are longer and larger diameter than others. To be sure...the Piscifun Platte is an excellent fly reel...great quality and value.

Answer: I don’t know how much on a 7/8 but 4wt held more than enough. I was really impressed with the quality of this reel although I have not used it yet.

Answer: I didn’t measure the amount as I filled it from a bulk spool. However, I would guess it is quite a bit more than 100 yards. If you load up with gel spun braid in 20 lb you should have more than enough for bass, carp, most steelhead and stripers the size a 7/8 is expected to handle.

Answer: I don't know.This reel can load more than enough line if u will

Has anybody use the Platte for euro Nymphing with long mono leaders? I have the sword and the mono slips off spool through spool -reel gap.

Answer: I have not had any issues with mine; great reel and value.

Do you have a kit? With line and everything?

Answer: Search for Piscifun "Riv". There is a full lot.

Is the reel made in the USA?

Answer: The reel is not made in the United States as a lot of others are not also. I don’t think Sage reels are either. The Piscifun is one fine reel and is as good , if not better, than my Sage 4250. I haven’t seen anything in this price range better the Piscifun. Hope this helps. Terry

Answer: From doing a little online research I get the impression that Piscufun reels are made in China. Evidently a lot of well known fishing reels are made in China.

Answer: I am not 100% sure. I think it is made in South Korea. I hope this helps.

Do you think I'd have any problems using a 3/4 weight reel with a 5wt rod?

Answer: I would still get a 5/6 for a 5wt rod. The line will be too thick to get the entire fly line on the reel, without sacrificing on the backing. Even on my 7/8 wt reel, I could barely fit an 8wt line and 100yds of backing on the reel without the reel jamming up.

Answer: You would definitely have less room for backing. The 3/4 is pretty small. It's probably more of a 3wt reel. If you don't feel that you need backing, you'll probably be ok.

Answer: It should work but this reel is very substantial in weight and is noted for its drag which would be much more than needed for a 5wt. The Sword 2 may be better choice for a 5wt. It should balance the rod better.

Answer: I think this reel is big enough to hold a 5wt. line but you would have to use less backing.

Answer: I think the only concern would be if you could put backing on the reel. If you don't need the backing it should be fine.

Answer: You'd be short of backing but the slight weight difference shouldn't affect the balance when you cast

Answer: Arbor size is about it.

Why is this more expensive then Crest?

Answer: It's amuch better drag system.

Answer: I am not aware of Crest? is this a brand name of a fly reel? . I suggest you go to You Tube and present your question

Answer: I have both the Piscifun Platte and Crest, I really like both and recommend both. My guess is that the Platte drag system is more costly, I also really like the large drag knob on the Platte.

Answer: The drag systerm and seal design are different. The cost of the platte reel is higher. Hope it helps!

Does the Platte come set up for right or left hand retrieve and can anyone post a copy of the instructions needed to change from right to left etc.?

Answer: The reels I have received are set for left hand retrieve . Just Google "how to change the Piscufun Platte reel from left to right hand retrieve". There are a couple of videos that show the procedure.

Answer: The Platte reel is easily converted to either right or left retrieve. Instruction to make the change are included with the reel when purchased.

Answer: If you unscrew & pull the spool off there's a click/ bearing. Just flip it over to change the retrieve. You can also email them. Be sure to put a removable loctite on thread to insure it doesn't loosen under heavy use.

Product reviews of Piscifun Platte Fly Fishing Reel Large Arbor Fully Sealed Drag with CNC-machined Aluminum Alloy Body 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 (Gunmetal,Black,Ice Blue)

Brian R. : A must for your Fly fishing

Great reel for the money.

fishingnut26 : Something does not seem quite right with the drag

Got the Reel , just a couple of months ago, and finally got some fly line on it, when I tasted the drag, I noticed that as the reel turned the drag was NOT consistent , the resistance was only in one are, Thinking This a defect? Wondering if warranty would cover this issue?

BcKc : Poor Design, Bad Customer Service

The drag knob on the reel is poorly designed and will almost certainly be a point of failure. This combined with poor customer service lead to me write this review.

I ordered two of these reels. The first was from the Piscifun website. It arrived a and the drag knob had been cross threaded into the drag assembly so it didn't work properly. It took 7 days and over 10 emails to Piscifun customer support for me to get a return shipping label. Also, no one answers their customer service phone number and the voice mailbox is full.

The second reel I ordered didn't have the same issue as the first but I decided to return it anyways. The drag knob has a side to side wiggle and I can see the threading wearing out over time. Additionally, the poor customer service experience has left me with no confidence in Piscifun's "Lifetime Warranty". Good luck making a claim in the future when the reel fails.

At this price point, loose fitting parts and poor customer service are unacceptable. I was able to buy a comparable reel on sale, from an American company/manufacturer with a stellar reputation for customer service, for the same price. I own other Piscifun products but after this experience, I won't be buying anymore.

Don B : Came highly recommended..

It will be a Christmas gift for my daughter and she sent me pic of this one..specifically..positive she will love it!!

Harold : Nice reel.

The drag is smooth and the retrieve is fast.

Vincent Lortie : Amazing fly fishing reel

Great product , amazing feel from this reel ! The drag is incomparable to other reels of that price from the big reel companies out there . The seal mechanism is a great option for any fly fisherman . I have caught many big fish on this reel and I’m very happy with the overall quality of this reel.

Christopher Ament : Many of the other people in the office said its a really good reel. My brother is happy so I am ...

I got this for my brother as an upgrade to the starter fly fishing set he already has. My brother loves it so far although it wont be until March when he can use it. Many of the other people in the office said its a really good reel. My brother is happy so I am happy!

Bill : Good value

I shopped a lot of other reels in this price range before buying and I have to say that the reel (Platte 9/10 in Ti and green) I received was better than I expected. It is very solid and looks great. I took it to the Salmon River and it performed well. I did not have one take it down to the backing in one big run to really test it, but it worked flawlessly on the fish I did catch.

Brian R. : A must for your Fly fishing

Great reel for the money.

Pottery Crone : My grandson told me it was the best!

This was a gift. My grandson told me it was the best!

Michael Santos : No complaints!

This is a really nice reel especially for the price. I have 2 now and have no complaints about either. I highly recommend!

Mike Jamison : Good looking reel, well made

One caveat, I have not had a chance to fish this reel yet. I have put backing and line on it and have been casting with it, so far it works perfectly.
The reel I bought is a 9/10, I put 100 yards of 30lb Micron on it and a nine weight floating RIO line.
It's a great looking reel, and is well made.
I like the large drag adjustment wheel on the side, easy to use.
One issue, after I bought the reel I decided to buy another spool for it, I couldn't find them available on the Amazon or the Piscifun web site.

Terry Scheurman : Nice reel

Used it a week ago bonefishing and it did very well. I was pleasantly surprised. The drag remained smooth even after bonefish burns. Very nice reel regardless of the low sticker price.

Kayak Express : Like the sealed drag system!

The Platte reel appears to be well made. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet. I did spool it up with 100 yards of 30 lb backing and a 100’ Orvis Bankshot 7 wt. sink tip line. It all fit on the arbor with a little exspansion space left. I will use it on a 10’ 7 wt. Orvis fly rod for boat/river tailwater fishing for striper, bass, brown trout and small Muskie. It comes with a neoprene cover which I use on all my reels while traveling in the boat. I just slide the reel in and wrap around rod and secure the Velcro. This keeps all my reels from getting banged up. I really like the large drag adjustment; makes it easy to quickly get your hand on it when needed. Gave it a 4 star simply because I have not tested it in actual use at this time.
Update:
5 stars!!!!! Will use all of my Piscifun 5/6 and 7/8 reels loaded with Piscifun backing in a few weeks on Alaska trip.

Paul Lord : High end kit at budget rates.

This is the top of the line Piscifun reel and it lives up to its billing. I have the 9/10 weight in Grey, spooled up with a 10wt sinking tip line for Pike and Musky. The drag on this reel is fantastic; the big adjustment knob is very granular and stays put, and if you ask it to clamp down on a runaway fish it can handle it. It is well made, smoothly finished and very solid; I can see how on a smaller reel it might be a little heavy but the weight is in line with other 10 wt. reels I own. Changing spools is quick but rick solid. All in all, the slight extra spend here-- still dirt cheap compared to the big name brands-- is more than supported by the reel quality. I'll get some extra spools, because this reel isn't coming off the rod it's currently attached to!

Mike Jamison : Good looking reel, well made

DWR : I must add that this is an awesome looking reel

I received my Piscifun Platte Fully sealed Drag Large Arbor Reel last week and I was very impressed with the quality of this reel. I have not taken it fishing but will use it for stripers in early May and bonefish and permit in October. I will let you know how it performed. I must add that this is an awesome looking reel.

rhy : Saltwater / sealed huh ?

So I read all these glowing reviews, and ordered one off the website. It was fulfilled by Amazon, so delivery was fast. I was planning to use the 7/8wt model for surf fishing. When I received the reel I noticed a few things -- one, lots of extra lube / grease (picks up sand), and two, the drag knob has a huge cavity underneath its porting, which would also collect sand. No way am I using this in the surf. Sure, they supply a parts diagram so you can take it apart and clean it, but I thought I was buying something which is supposed to be sealed in the first place ...

Josh : Best fly reel i now own

Purchased this reel after a lot of research. First impression was that this reel in the ice blue, is beautiful! Second, the drag is butter smooth and it cast as good or better than my more expensive reels! All in all a great product and I'll definitely pick me up a few more in different weights

Jennifer and James Sredl : Five Stars

Really nice fit and finish. Smooth reel. Can't wait till this spring.

catch a cat : Fly fishing reel

Feel and quality of the product for a reasonable price .Fully sealed drag system so can be used in saltwater.Drag is nice and quiet.Easy to convert from left to right hand,but watch video before converting,spring could be easily lost.Very pleased so far,time will tell on reliability.

Pottery Crone : My grandson told me it was the best!

This was a gift. My grandson told me it was the best!

Amazon Customer : The tradition continues

I picked up the 3/4 as I have the blaze and sword and enjoy them both. Keeping with tradition this is another exceptionally well machined Piscifun product. Both the retrieve and drag are smooth as silk. The retrieve on the Platte even has a perfectly set very subtle click which I prefer. The sound and smoothness of the retrieve even surpasses my two Hardy's which have held that sound of quality distinction to date. Overall, I Think this reel is definitely one of the best reels I've come across. To be honest, I would challenge anyone to find a better reel at any price. If you find one let us all know.

France l. : Feels really adequate and good as a reel.

I am about to test this product today on the water.
So far, I’m impressed with the feel of it. There’s is definitively a quality feel to it and when I tested casting on grass, I was very pleased on how it responds.

Paul Lord : High end kit at budget rates.

Eric M. : Great reel

Love the reel. Everything feels nice for a great price. The drag click isn’t too loud but there’s a shuttle sound when the drag is peeling that still gives the satisfaction

BcKc : Poor Design, Bad Customer Service

Vincent Lortie : Amazing fly fishing reel

Customer : Unreal, amazing, brilliant, top quality reel

Iv had quite a few fly reels and iv always found a fault with them with smoothness, drag, wobble in the reel, etc.... But this reel is faultless and unreal superb quality.... I read the reviews on this reel and they were brilliant reviews and there's a reason they were brilliant and that's because this reel is excellent quality,.... Drag is super smooth, extremely solid reel no wobble or play, so so smooth to reel.... It looks unreal and this is like buying a 300-400quid reel it's just the best reel and u get a reel cover to protect it in the box..... Definitely buy this reel it will fight any fish possible and looks unreal

fishingnut26 : Something does not seem quite right with the drag

Markie Mark : Excellent reel.

Excellent product for the money. I use this reel for beach and flats fishing here in south Florida. 10/10 would purchase again!

JohnnyO : Better than reels twice the price!

This reel is very well made and a bargain for the price. Took off one star becasue it's a bit heavy. Very well constructed. Highly recommended.

Arm : Platte Made Me Smile

First hold the Piscifun Platte feels that it was not a shabby machine. Exceptionally happy with the quality. Feeling solid in hand, no wobble and looks flawless. Out go fishing yet fish size wasn't large enough to feel the drag work but rather I'm confident with this machine. Very satisfied and highly recommended.

Michael Santos : No complaints!

This is a really nice reel especially for the price. I have 2 now and have no complaints about either. I highly recommend!

Terry M. : Impressive reel

Very impressed so far, hope to get it on the water next week. After getting line on it and playing with the drag, I like it as well as my Sage 4250. Proof will be on the water.

Harold : Nice reel.

The drag is smooth and the retrieve is fast.

Morgan Stanwood : Fly-fishing.

Great product.

Ciccio : Low quality

One trip out - king salmon on the line tore the drag up and the spool popped off. The side knob won’t attach right after that. Not for decent sized game fish. Overall quality is extremely low.

Dennis Cuchiara : drag is very impressive. very light.

quality appears to be very good. i am going to try it out soon, but overall, the reel compares to the high cost reels on the market.

Ed D. : Nice reel

Nice reel works great so far only used for one fishing trip

Amazon Customer : I thought the reel was excellent. It’s a good value

I thought the reel was excellent. It’s a good value. I really like the way it handles. I love the way it looks.

Kindle Customer : What a deal

I own high end Hardy, Galvin, Sage and Orvis reels and was a little skeptical that a reel under $150 could possibly compare. I was wrong. This a GREAT reel even side by side with reels costing 5 times as much.

Brian R. : A must for your Fly fishing

Great reel for the money.

Terry M. : Impressive reel

Very impressed so far, hope to get it on the water next week. After getting line on it and playing with the drag, I like it as well as my Sage 4250. Proof will be on the water.

AKBub : Good value

Nice reel with big but not too touchy drag. Would like more room for backing on arbor. Fishing in Mexico for dorados
Bonito, the fish do not tire out.

Russell Isabelo : Five Stars

Really nice reel????

LJMarty : This reel out performed reels nearly twice the price. ...

This reel out performed reels nearly twice the price. Our guide put us on some Spanish Mack that were averaging 20 in.+ This reel handled them with ease. The drag system is unbeatable. I hesitated to post this review. I really do not want to see the price increase. I plan on continuing to invest in these reels as I am an avid angler. I believe anglers of even the snobbier kind would appreciate the quality of this reel.

Amy Manfredo : Have no idea how to pronounce Piscifun, but it's a great reel from my perspective.

I spent about a month researching fly rod/reel options. I am a novice, but I've purchased 3 fly rods and 2 reels in the past. What I bought in the past was entry level stuff, so I was looking for something of a bit better quality but still shy of top-of-the-line equipment. After coming back to this reel multiple times I finally decided I couldn't find a better option for the price.

I bought this and a 4 piece fenwick 5WT rod. I used this in the White River in Arkansas for a brutally cold weekend and it was great. The reel is clearly better than my other options and the drag system is something I under appreciated with the cheaper stuff I used. I could cast this easily, and it was very nice to fight some trout on a better quality setup. Overall I am very glad I went with this version--still have no idea how to pronounce the name of it though.
