## Description

desertcart.com : Piscifun Carbon X Ultralight Spinning Reel, Carbon Frame, 3000 Series | Carbon frame and rotor, 22lb max drag, 10+1 shielded bearings, 6.2:1 fast retrieve, More capacity for versatile fishing : Sports & Outdoors

Review: 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.
Review: Awesome, Budget-Friendly Spinning Reel! - If you have not heard of or unsure of a Piscifun reel, let me tell you that you do not have anything to worry about; Piscifun makes an awesome reel. The Carbon X in particular is a beautiful reel that gets fish in the boat. It has incredibly smooth bearings, casts like a dream, and has a great drag! I have been fishing almost my entire life and have owned and used many brands of reels, from very cheap to rather expensive reels. Piscifun has delivered a budget-friendly reel that performs as well as if not better than some of the expensive reels I have owned. I have this particular Carbon X 2000 spooled up with 8lb fluorocarbon line for drop shot fishing for bass. The first time I took it out fishing I was very impressed with how easily I was able to cast with it and also with how smooth it was retrieving the line due to the quality bearings. The handle is very comfortable and ergonomic. I fished using this reel most of the day and was very impressed with how much I like the reel. In addition to it working well, it looks great! The black goes with any rod you might put it on and all the cut outs on the spool look rad! Speaking of the spool, it’s braid ready if you want to spool it up with braided fishing line. The reel body and rotor are made from carbon fiber so the reel is super light weight and very strong. This also makes for less fatigue when fishing for an extended period of time. All in all, I am in love with this reel! I will be replacing at least one of my other spinning reels with a Piscifun Carbon X and will be looking at purchasing other Piscifun spinning reels to replace the remainder of my spinning reels.

## Features

- 【Feather Light】The Carbon X is meticulously crafted with an all carbon fiber body, rotor and side plate making it one of the lightest in its class, size 500 weighing in at a mere 5.1 oz. The Carbon X greatly reduces the fatigue placed on your wrist over a long day of chasing those trophy fish
- 【Consistent & Powerful Drag】3 premium oversized carbon washers give you a best in class up to 33lbs drag power and the sealed rubber ring protects your drag from being compromised by water and dust. These drag features offer you the ultimate experience whether you’re chasing your tournament kicker or spending a day with the kids on the lake
- 【Silky Smooth】You will be amazed at the incredible smoothness of the Carbon X, the 10+1 shielded stainless steel ball bearings are critical for increased smooth operation, retrieve performance and corrosion resistance
- 【Multiple Retrieves】The Piscifun Carbon X spinning reels features a lightning fast 6.2:1 gear ratio as well as a buttery smooth 5.2:1 in our 1000 model. These 2 gear ratios are the perfect combination, the high speed retrieve helps every angler battle the strong, fast runs of the biggest fish and the moderate speed is perfect for finessing in your next trophy
- 【Unique & Innovative】The Carbon X is loaded with incredible features like our reinforced anti corrosion stainless steel main shaft and Zinc Alloy drive gear, direct drive screw-in aluminum handle, hollow nest shaped spool, smooth positive click drag, and high density EVA knob. These features are typically found in reels in a much higher price range, but we are making it affordable for everyone
