Piscifun Chaos XS Baitcasting Fishing Reel, Reinforced Metal Body Round Baitcaster Reel, Smooth Powerful Saltwater Inshore Surf Trolling Reel, Conventional Reel for Catfish, Musky, Bass, Pike

This reel is absolutely fantastic. I have 50lb braid on it, and so far have used it for surf fishing. The casting distance is amazing, it rarely ever backlashes and when it does, it’s very mild and easy to fix. The drag clicker system comes in super handy too; I cast it out and leave the bale open with the clicker turned on and it goes off when a fish is on. It’s been covered in sand and salt water and still reels in very smoothly. Overall great product, high quality and very versatile.

I go through a lot of reels. Im a fishing guide for blue catfish in Oklahoma. I always try one or two of this brand or that brand and see if they hold up or not. I find fault with most reels I use. Im really really hard on my stuff. I cast as far as I can and they ride in my boat floor getting banged up. So far this reel hasn't had any issues and is my favorite to cast. It casts far with 30lb mono. I have been running two of them for 3 months now and bought another two. Me and other guides are running a different Piscfun bait caster for the big 100lb paddlefish. We use 100lb braid on those and catch multiple fish in the 40 to 100lb range every day. So far those reels are holding up great as well. I just don't understand the brand name Piscfun?? Really??? I should take off a star for that. lol

This is a value priced baitcaster. I have three of them and one already started acting up less than a year after purchase. We use them very often...several times a month all year round...so more than a lot of reels get used on average. The reel is smooth and the drag is good...initially. They cast well with 30lb mono and have handled some decent sized fish up to 45lbs. I would say if you used a reel two or three times a year and was not terribly hard on your equipment, it's a pretty good deal. They are very valued priced and easy to replace. If you were dipping your toe into the baitcaster pool this would be a good reel to check and see if you like this style of reel. If you were going to buy a reel to teach a beginner the ins and outs of a baitcaster, also this is a good reel for that. The function is good as is the performance...they just don't see to hold up very well and the quality control seems spotty. Bottom line is that it is a cheap reel that functions very well within the parameters I have stated. When you get it, you will be impressed. It is only over time and use does the weak points start to show. I still have two in use...one about 16 months old and they perform OK. You get what you pay for. If you have been using ABUs, these are not a replacement. No matter what you read or what you see on You Tube. For the money, buy a used ABU and get it serviced or clean it and lube it yourself. You may spend a bit more, but you will be happier in the long term.

Good product

Good reel, smooth and reliable.

The drag on these reels are phenomenal!! Tested and true to the advertisement. Been using the 50 series for 2 years and have had 0 problems with them. For reels in this price range, I received much more than i expected.

These are amazing reels, very durable and strong. I use them religiously on all my catfish rods

Great for ice fishing. Love the real. High Quality
