Piscifun Chaos XS Round Reel

Used on my catfish rig and strung it up with 20lb braided line. No backlash and was smooth casting after I got it tuned in.

For the money this is an excellent reel. I have it around 3 years and it is smooth. It’s better than my KastKing. It’s perfect for Porgies, Fluke, Sea Bass and Blackfish.

Love this, put 50lb braided line on for pier fishing, casts far and smooth retrieval

Was excited for this to come and when it finally did, I paired it up with a Shimano TDR 9'. Since its winter, it was slow and skunked like crazy but im impressed with the casting distance and the accessibility to the functions of the reel. Finally caught 1 12" striper 2 weeks ago and was finally able to hear the bait clicker go. Just waiting to catch a big one hopefully! The support team (both Facebook and email) are extremely helpful for anyone that is interested in the Pisicfun items. No need to buy a $100 or $200 reel when Pisicfun can help you with one of the best reels in the market and also not break your wallet!

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.
