Questions about Piscifun Chaos XS Round Reel - Reinforced Metal Body Round Baitcasting Reel, Smooth Powerful Saltwater Inshore Surf Trolling Fishing Reels, Conventional Reels for Catfish, Musky, Bass, Pike
Q:
Does this reel have a Bait clicker switch?
Answer: Has a bait clicker but its very quiet
Answer: Yes
Q:
will there be larger sizes available later?
Answer: Hello buyer,
Q:
What works best with this reel braid or Mano and what lb for the 50 model
Answer: Hi there I have 50 pound boss braid on the 50 reel.
Answer: I have been enjoying using mono with these reels.....I like braid, but mono seems to give more of a fun fight. I use 30 /40 pound mono.....But I have used 65 lbs. braid, mono been my favorite....Hope This Helps.
Answer: I use mono, 15# and 20# both. I have to say, this is one of the best reels I own, all 6 of them.
Answer: I have a model 50, it runs very well with either. I am using 45 lb mono on it right now and it casts superb
Answer: I use Braid from 10 to 30 pound test for this reel. Mono line can also be used at the same pound test. Not meant for higher pound test.
Answer: You can use either, I use a 40lbs braid and I love this reel.
Answer: I got 40lb braid on mine but I’m sure you could go higher if you want. Make sure to use mono or something for backing before you put the braid on
Answer: I use mine for live bait fishing for stripers. I spool up with 14lb. fluorocarbon.
Q:
When i get snagged on a branch, i tighter down the drag & tension knob but the reel continues to turn. it doesn't lock up so that i can pull off of?
Answer: You are pulling beyond the 22 pound drag rating..... that means the total drag is 22 pounds. Use your thumb to stop the spool if you are in a situation that needs more than the rated drag for this reel.
Answer: put your finger on spool so it can't turn pull it free.
Q:
Does this have "free spool" for casting?
Answer: It has a thumb bar that disengages the drag and winding mechanism like any other reel of this type.
Answer: Yes it do have the best free spool system I call it A floating spool
Answer: A free spool is when the level wind is not engaged when reel is out of gear
Answer: Yes it does
Q:
How much 50 lb draid Will the 40 size hold?
Answer: I can`t give you a definite answer but rest assured that it will hold more than you will need unless you`re fishing in the Ocean
Q:
Can this be used for west coast saltwater fishing?
Answer: They designed this reel for freshwater. Right now Piscifun is having a sale of 25% off on their site (use code PD25). It's from Feb 16-Feb 28. You can look at the Salis X casting reel by Piscifun. That was designed for saltwater use. Rinse everything with fresh water after use, even if designed for salt.
Answer: I’m sure you can but I’d rather be safe than sorry. But I’m sure you can catch all of the smaller fish but you might struggle with the stronger fighters.
Answer: Yes , I suggest when you get it take it apart and grease the reel. It’s a shame you have to grease a brand new reel but it’s cheap! Otherwise the reel is going to squall when you cast it. If you let the company know they just say, hmm doesn’t sound right. Can you get us a video?
Q:
What's the weight of the 60 size? And line capacity?
Answer: Braid Capacity 40Model-30lbs/220yds | 50Model 40lbs/260yds Mono Capacity 40Model-14lbs/180yds | 50Model-15lbs/250yds. The weight of reel is 463.8g
Answer: No really, what is the weight and capacity of the 60? We can see in the description the stats on the 40 and 50, but you fail to mention the info on the 60.
Answer: 40# braid / 330yds per Piscifun website.
Q:
Is the 60 model better then the 50
Answer: It means that 60 model is larger than 50
Q:
How good is the reel
Answer: Awesome reel for the money, casts really well and reels very smooth.
Q:
Is there a line tensioner in this real?
Answer: Yes it has
Q:
Does this cast far ?
Answer: It is a great reel for the money ! I have several Ambassadors, and The Piscifun casts every bit a well. It will do everything you want it to, you will love it.
Answer: Depends on what size line you put on. I have two of these reels and I have 50 lb braid on one and 65 lb on the other and they cast pretty good, I don't know the yardage but enough for me and the fishing I do. Hope this helps.
Answer: Pretty decent. I got 50lb braid and it casts pretty far
Answer: It will cast further than my Ambassador Striper Special.. very good reel
Answer: Yes i have no problem casting it out.
Answer: This is one of the smoothest throwing reels made. Depending on the weight you use, it will probably outcast most reels. I have 6 of these reels and will swear these are the best reels on the market.
Answer: It does case well, great distance and very smooth as well.
Answer: Mine does. I set the spool tension to help prevent backlash when changing lure weight
Answer: If set properly yes.
Answer: Yes they do, they do great!
Q:
Does the 40 size model have a power handle?
Answer: I started to say NO but as they say, no question is dumb. there is a power handle
Answer: I do not know what you mean by power handel, but if its an oversized handel.... yes.
Answer: The 40 does not but 50 does I have both
Answer: No it does not
Q:
Will the reel hold 10 colors of 18 lb lead core ?
Answer: Yes, the reel can hold 10 colors of 18 lb lead core.
Q:
I cast with right hand and reel with left , do I get a left hand bait casting reel ?
Answer: If you prefer to reel with your left hand then the left hand reel is what you need. It's weird but when I use a spin casting reel I cast with the right hand and reel in with the left hand.
Answer: The reel can be ordered left or right handed. It comes both ways, but cannot be changed from one side to the other. I can use both left and right, but ordered the right hand and love it.
Answer: Yes. Just make sure the reel handle is on the left, no matter what they call it. A lot of people cast right handed, then hold the rod in their left hand and reel on the right. I did that before my left shoulder was injured.
Answer: If you reel left handed, i would get the left hand retrieve. It would be much more comfortable for you.
Answer: Order left handed reel
Answer: I am right handed, but reel with my right hand also. You need a left handed reel. I can tell you from personal experience, this is one of the best reels I have ever owned. Hope this helps you.
Answer: Yes get a left hand hand as that is the hand you reel with
Answer: To be honest with you I`m not sure but here is what I do. I look at the reel & imagine it on your rod. Now see if the reel you are looking at has the handle on the side that you want it to be. Hope this helps
Answer: Yes
Q:
Which model will hold 10 colors of 17lb lead core?
Answer: All models will hold 10 colors of 17lb lead core. The model you buy depends on the fish you want to catch. If you have any confusion, please feel free to contact us.
Q:
Is the size 40 reel cabable for landing 40 to 80 lb catfish ir do i need to go to a size 50?
Answer: I would probably go with the 60 with the power handle for fish that size. But at least go with the 50.
Answer: yes the only thing different between the two reels is the 50 holds more line than the 40 I like the 40 better because I can cast it farther it's lighter.
Answer: I think the 40 is capable they are really nice reel’s
Answer: I would be looking at the amount of drag the reel has as the deciding factor . More drag the better.
Answer: I’d go with the larger reel.
Q:
why the price jump all of sudden?
Answer: Could be a host of things driving up the price, check out others sites for Idea price. I purchase this reel for my Florida trip (Black Drum) and (Red Fish)....Good Luck
Answer: Unless it was a huge upgrade in quality I wouldn’t buy it. Look at the kast king reels on Amazon. They are awesome with similar price and way better option
Q:
I want to order 50 LH reel - when will it be available? I need a larger capacity reel with a left hand retrieve.
Answer: Soon
Q:
would this reel work for Bowfishing?
Answer: No. Conventional and baitcast style reels are not compatible with bow fishing.
Answer: Not familiar with the setup bow fishing but my thoughts since you ask baitcasters are subject to backlash without using the thumb to stop the reel spool at the water contact I believe that would be difficult bow fishing . Picsifun makes spinning reels that might be a better choice .
Answer: You want a button press real. There a only 40 to 50
Answer: I don’t know, it’ll hold an awful lot of line.
Q:
I thought the 50 rh was supposed to be out today... now i can’t even order the 40 rh...is it not available or what?
Answer: Hello buyer, we are sorry about that. We have shipped the product to the Amazon warehouse, but Amazon will accept the goods a little longer than before. Don't worry, it will be available.
Q:
When will there be a right handed 50 when will it be available
Answer: You can do as I did and go straight to the manufacturer. You will save money and can get either right or left handed, your choice. No waiting!!!
Q:
Is it normal for the 60 models Button to have a little bit of wiggle
Answer: the 60 isnt a sturdy as a reel as the 50 and yes that button has some issues sticking etc..
Q:
Will the size 60 fit on a 10 ft surf rod
Answer: I'm sure it would. I paired my 50s with 7 1/2 ft rods. Just make sure it's a casting rod and not a spinning rod.
Answer: I have both of mine on 9.5' catfish rods, so i think you would be just fine on a 10'
Answer: I think it would be a bit small but it would fit. You would be better off with a chaos 50.
Answer: Very easily!
Answer: i would say it is to small
Answer: Yes it should
Q:
Does it have the brake system?
Answer: Very smooth carbon fiber drag system. I own both the XS 50 & XS 60 reels. Great quality for the money.
Answer: Sure it has.
Q:
Does the baitrunner have an adjustable drag?
Answer: All fishing reels have adjustable drags. This reel is a bait caster, not a bait runner. Two different type of reels. Bait runners are meant for allowing a fish to pickup a bait and run so you can add drag once running. This reel is a casting reel. Not bad for the money but not for bait running.
Answer: We are sorry to say that Chao XS doesn't got the baitrunner.
Answer: Yes, and can give 20 lbs drag for those big ones.
Answer: Yes, it has a very good drag and also a great alarm clicker.
Answer: No, it does however add a fair amount of tension to the free spool. It will not bird nest no matter how fast its taken out.
Answer: No it don’t, the reel does but not the bait runner.
Q:
Can the handle on this reel be switched out for a different handle
Answer: Sure, it could be switched out for a different handle.
Answer: I have not tried it. You can change the reel out for any reel.
Answer: No but they make a left and right hand model
Answer: I have no idea why but YES it can be
Answer: Yes
Answer: YES
Q:
Is it normal in the 60 model to have a little bit of wiggle in the silver push button
Answer: It should have very little movement
Answer: Mine doesn't wiggle.
Q:
Would the size 40 be appropriate for as a all around use reel? For bass, catfish, carp?
Answer: That's what I have. I use it for catfish and bass. It's a very nice reel

Answer: Yes, that is what I use mine for. A great all around reel.
Answer: Catfish and carp
Answer: Yes

Product reviews of Piscifun Chaos XS Round Reel - Reinforced Metal Body Round Baitcasting Reel, Smooth Powerful Saltwater Inshore Surf Trolling Fishing Reels, Conventional Reels for Catfish, Musky, Bass, Pike
Johnathan : Issues
I’ve only used a few times and I’m kinda disappointed. I’m already having issues with the gears. I wouldn’t recommend.
Kindle Customer louis : my opinion
I finally put some line on it & tried it out. It has been years since I`ve used a baitcaster so I was a little rusty and after I got the nest straightened out every thing was fine. I like it
Tracey : Great Product
Arrived 3 days earlier than expected and love the reel.
Tracey : Great Product
Arrived 3 days earlier than expected and love the reel.
AF5SX : Great reel. At half the price of “high end” reels.
Great reel. Easily mounts on rod. Perfect weight/ size. And I love the colors. It’s a beautiful reel. And, for the price, I could buy two of these for the price of but one of my other baitcaster reels. (I won’t say the name. But it was made in Sweden. ) Another thing, I had to shell out an additional $20 for power crank for the other reel. This Piscifun Chaos 50 came with one already mounted.
Edit: I love my Chaos XS 50. So my grandson wanted one for his birthday. I ordered his the day I got mine. Was supposed to deliver today, the kid’s birthday. Due to a malfunction in the sorting process, it got sent to Florida instead of Oklahoma. Oops!! I was mad. But, stuff happens. Now they’re saying “by Friday”. Hope hope hope.
I now believe in miracles. My reel made it from Orlando (at 9:00 pm last night), to Oklahoma City and delivered this morning before 9:00 am. Great work Amazon, and to the lady I talked to on the phone last night: THANK YOU !!!!
Travis : Good reels
I like these reels, for the big cats. They hold up well. I have several of them and both are good reels. Hope this helps.
CHRIS B. FLEMING : Needs Work
The reel is generally smooth and is relatively powerful. If the reel functioned as designed I would be very happy with the reel. However initially, the clicker was always low and hard to hear. Then on about my fourth time using the reel lost all clicker sound. I contacted Piscifun and they responded the next day which was great. They were very nice. I worked with them to discover what the problem was. I took the reel apart and discovered one of the springs had failed. Unfortunately, they said that they could not get me a replacement spring for over two - 3 months. :( and still today cannot give me a date. Will I ever get the springs? Will they work for a while and not break again? Who knows.
Amazon Customer : Best catfish reels for the money
these are great reels I purchased two. taken them apart they they the bearings are in the right places especially the one on the pinion gear I have bass reels that cost over four hundred with that design they are great especially for the cost I have eight and my son have six I trust them I sold all my old ABU reels. I am a reel mechanic
Raymond Binger : Amazingly smooth casting.
This reel was perfect for my channel catfish gear. It is small enough to perfectly fit my Ugly Stik GX2 Medium Action casting rod. First time out using it, I was impressed on how smoothly it castes, and how smooth it retrieves the line. Got the skunk out of it this last weekend and caught a 3 pound channel catfish. An amazing reel for the price, and great for catfish. Will buy more.
DB : Great value
I meant to order the #50, but accidentally ordered the #40. I wanted the 50 because of the handle,since I will be using it mostly for striped bass, blackfish and bluefish. Since I had a trip already scheduled, I decided to go ahead and try the #40 out. It's loaded with 40lb braid. I caught a couple of nice sized blackfish, and the reel had plenty of drag to get them out of the rocks and into the boat. Also landed a 40" shark with no problems. The reel felt solid and worked perfectly all day. Using a bottom rig with an 8oz sinker, there wasn't much casting going on. But I had no problems flipping it out away from the boat without backlash. Probably still going to order a #50 at some point. I also have a Torrent, which is an amazing value. I truly like their reels.
David Williams : bait caster
works great and less expensive
khadija c. : Smooth as silk
Very good reel for the price. It was a little grinding it the beginning but that’s expected from brass to brass connection. I spend a day just spinning the handle and that grinding went away and it was one of the smoothest reels ever. It’s easy to take apart and work on, since the level wind is always engaged I made it my boat rod, it worked perfectly. No complaints, great product.
Elizabeth M. : Best reel since the Garcia
I am a Garcia person,and have been for years. Then Garcia started down grading their products to the point where I did not want them anymore. I purchased quite a few new reels trying to find a good bait casting reel, but they were all made cheap and didn't work after even a few trips. I ran across these on Amazon, purchased one, and found them to be exceptional. Since, I have purchased 5 more. These are exceptional reels, what Garcia used to be. Thanks
Danny Jones : This reel is better than the original
I use this reel for catfishing and the berrings were all in the right places holds a ton of line I'll buy this again.
hobo : XS 60 has only 2 pin brakes not the 6pin mentioned in description
Buyers beware the 60 size has 2 pin breaks unlike the 40 and 50 size which have 6pin . Glad I opened it up to check , I was under assumption that they all have 6pin breaks . I gave it 5 stars cause I love my 40 and 50 size ,super smooth casting reels, i pulled in a 45lb paddle fish with zero issues smooth drag.

Ernie perdue : Drag
It's a great reel Smoot casting and cast a mile but the problem I have is I think the drag is a little weak almost all the way tight and seems like the line still comes out awful easy on a big fish lost 2 big fish couse couldn't seem to get drag tight enough but would buy another one for the price
Nolan W. Bailey : Good Purchase
Nothing to complain about. Great value and quality for the money. Search Youtube and see what other anglers say, too.
Amazon Customer : love it so far
this is as good as any abu garcia 5500 or 6600 out there. it will be great for trolling for walleye, or fishing for catfish or stripers. big spool. great cranking strength.
CSingell : Mostly Great
I have taken this reel out about a dozen times now and works as well as day one. I am very new to baitcasting reels, so that leads to multiple birds nests(trying to get better) which leads me to my one issue with the reel design. That fat black bar on top right above the levelwind makes it very hard to pull them out. I had the KastKing rover that had a bar across that was easy to get around. but that fat black piece, while aesthetically pleasing, makes it very difficult to fix the birds nest.
This is otherwise a great reel and I cant wait until I get to fight something worthy of it.
Ernie perdue : Drag
It's a great reel Smoot casting and cast a mile but the problem I have is I think the drag is a little weak almost all the way tight and seems like the line still comes out awful easy on a big fish lost 2 big fish couse couldn't seem to get drag tight enough but would buy another one for the price
Memloss : good for light fishing
slow retrieve but good drag. casts good but not a great distance. for close bank fishing it works great.
Dennis W. : A good looking reel that handles the big ones.
Bought the Piscifun Chaos XS for trophy Blue Catfish and it has proven to be a great reel. Smooth action, small enough to fit comfortably in the hand yet takes to pounding of a 40 plus fighting catfish in current. Has a great look. Loaded it with 80lb braided line and casting 16 ounce lead. Might get another.
t.woodworth : Good reel for the money.
These reels are definitely worth the money the sheerness and a great value for the money. The thickness is about the same as some high end reels. We use them to catch cat fish. And have had no problems out of them. Awesome reel for the money would definitely recommend.
Holli : Junk
The reel looks fine and seemed smooth. I put line on it and took it fishing... Not even the first cast there was a clunking noise and it didn't want to retrieve the line.. Junk.. Not together right? Missing parts? I don't care what it was.. It was a brand new 60 dollar real that is junk
P. Randall : Picifun is the best!
I now own 7 Picifun reels. The Chaos XS reels are my favorite. I pair them with 7 ft Ugly Stick catfish rods.
Doug Morales : It works
Great reel
TAS : Lasted 5 minutes
I returned after that much time
The drag did not work
The handle had a knock in it
Virapol S. : Good looking reel
The one delivered was the wrong sided handle and wouldn’t crank. Had to return it for refund, still waiting for availability for the right one.
CHRIS B. FLEMING : Needs Work
The reel is generally smooth and is relatively powerful. If the reel functioned as designed I would be very happy with the reel. However initially, the clicker was always low and hard to hear. Then on about my fourth time using the reel lost all clicker sound. I contacted Piscifun and they responded the next day which was great. They were very nice. I worked with them to discover what the problem was. I took the reel apart and discovered one of the springs had failed. Unfortunately, they said that they could not get me a replacement spring for over two - 3 months. :( and still today cannot give me a date. Will I ever get the springs? Will they work for a while and not break again? Who knows.
Raymond Binger : Amazingly smooth casting.
This reel was perfect for my channel catfish gear. It is small enough to perfectly fit my Ugly Stik GX2 Medium Action casting rod. First time out using it, I was impressed on how smoothly it castes, and how smooth it retrieves the line. Got the skunk out of it this last weekend and caught a 3 pound channel catfish. An amazing reel for the price, and great for catfish. Will buy more.
Amazon Customer : I like everything but the clicker which I use often.
I don't like the clicker. I fish a lot and I re bait or re tie lures and put on the clicker. I don't like it. This reel has a button to turn the clicker on an off that slides and does not snap in and out of clicker mode.
Other than that its great.. Its smooth. Its my favorite color. I was going to return it but I like it until the clicker fails then I will be unhappy.

kim Kiesel : Do not buy.
Used reel for two days before the free spool button completely broke. I am not hard on my tackle and take good care of my things. Better off spending the money for a nice reel :((((((
Glen W. : Chaos Xs 60 is worth its money
This is my first bait caster. After a little adjustment and some 20 lb test line. It was more powerful than a 808 Zebco. It really hauls them catfish in. The first day out I caught a 12 pounder and literally kept the fish on top of the water while reeling it in. I well definitely buy again.
L. A. Gliba : Quality reel
I needed a new round reel to replace my abu Garcia as my first up reel for salmon fishing. I've been very happy with the original chaos 60 I use for sturgeon fishing so I was going to get the 50. To my surprise they've revamped it and its now the Chaos xs. I ordered the Chaos xs 50 and was very pleased when it showed up, the fit and finish is great. Extremely smooth to reel and holds a ton of line. The spool comes out easily making tying the braid to it extremely easy. All in all its a nice reel, and based off my experience with the og chaos I known I'm going to be happy with it.
Sid : Good stuff
First cast with it I hooked up on this big boy and instantly tested this reel out. So far so good. We will see how long it lasts with saltwater fishin down here in south texas. Reel worked very well.
Albert : Cant go wrong
best value for money hands down, have owned the cheap $75 abu Garcias, this preforms better than them, SoCal dosnt offer giant catfish , but many good size channel cats have been caught with it, nd plan to catch allot more
AF5SX : Great reel. At half the price of “high end” reels.
Great reel. Easily mounts on rod. Perfect weight/ size. And I love the colors. It’s a beautiful reel. And, for the price, I could buy two of these for the price of but one of my other baitcaster reels. (I won’t say the name. But it was made in Sweden. ) Another thing, I had to shell out an additional $20 for power crank for the other reel. This Piscifun Chaos 50 came with one already mounted.
Edit: I love my Chaos XS 50. So my grandson wanted one for his birthday. I ordered his the day I got mine. Was supposed to deliver today, the kid’s birthday. Due to a malfunction in the sorting process, it got sent to Florida instead of Oklahoma. Oops!! I was mad. But, stuff happens. Now they’re saying “by Friday”. Hope hope hope.
I now believe in miracles. My reel made it from Orlando (at 9:00 pm last night), to Oklahoma City and delivered this morning before 9:00 am. Great work Amazon, and to the lady I talked to on the phone last night: THANK YOU !!!!
