Piscifun Flame Spinning Reels, Lightweight 9+1BB Ultra Smooth Spinning Fishing Reels, 19.8LBs Max Drag, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 Series, Red & Blue

The only review you need to read. This is for freshwater review. NOT FOR SALTWATER!!! These are amazing reels for the price. For anyone who is starting out or is avid fishermen. I been using these 4 to 5 times a week on the biggest lake in PNW. I fish Lake Washington. With 30 different types of fish. And different sizes and weight. With great success. I currently own 3 of these Piscifun Flame reels. On 3 different setups, from pan fish to large mouth and cat fish. My setups are all less then $60 including the line I put on the reel. I I get the smooth cast everytime. From my 5" to 7" pole. Using all size lures and just to a split shot and bober set up for some panfish. You wont be disappointed in this reel. This isn't your cheap plastic walmart reel or reel and combo, you get at walmart. This reel does compete with the Penn or even other high end reels. But for a more affordable price tag. I have mine for a year now. And still cast smooth like day one. I don't keep up with the oiling and other maintenance, becuase I wanted to see how long it will last with neglect, also less $30 I can buy a new one if needed to be. So far over a year of use. And still going strong. I will recommend this to any fresh water fisherman or fisherman. It's a great reel for the beginner or the advance. Would I use this for a bass competition, probably. Lol. So here my setup for pan fish and basic bass fishing. If you are new to fishing or just wanting a nice cheap freshwater setup. Panfish - Bluegill,sunfish, pumpkin seeds, perch, white or black crappie, etc. I use a shakespeare micro series rod. This is my 5" rod. Ultra light. Great to feel even the smallest bites. Around $20 on amazon. Bigger fish - Trout, Bass, Walleye, etc. Berkley Cherry Wood HD This is a full wood rod. Coming in around 6'6 and also a 7" rod. Medium/heavy. Now before you say why would you want a Medium/heavy for trout or even walleye. This has a tip of a light rod (meaning you can fill small bites), but the back bone of a heavy rod. I pulled 13lbs fish in on 8lbs test thanks to this rod. This is like the name says. Made of cherry wood, so the tip is easily breakable. But wont break from weight of bigger fish. It's great rod. I been using them for 15+ years now. And own multiple sizes. Around $20 on amazon. I use berkely invisible line on all my reels. Just personal choice.

I had to take the time to write a review. I bought recently a Shimano Nasci 500. I really love that real 100 bucks. But then I had a Daiwa rod 4 ft. I just wanted to find and put something on there. What a good little match. You could use this one up to 6 ft rod. My opinion. Would be a good little flipping rod. I put 2 lb izor line on it. This would be cool with 6 pound test on a 6 ft rod. Out of the box it was really smooth but I greased an oiled it and it's got even smoother can't wait to use it. Got on 9/4/25 using it on 9/5/2025 really nice reel. It's a little bit bigger than 500 but not much. Of course I'm basing this on the smallest one 20 bucks.

Just got this reel. The outer package that it came in was partially open and it was left outside in the rain. The box the reel came in was wet and dented. This is not like Amazon. Fortunately, the box is sturdy and the reel was enclosed in plastic not damaged. My first impression was "this is a really nice looking reel". The body is all flat black, But the spool is red and black with a very attractive design giving the reel a great look. The reel is very smooth to wind, very. The drag is also very smooth, which is unusual for a reel in this price range. Although it is listed as an ultra light, the 2000 is a perfect size for my application. I fish mostly for crappie , not bass. I do have several other reels that are much smaller that are called ultra light. I am glad I did not get the 3000 but a bass fisherman may like it. The reel is a great bargain but it does have some drawbacks. The oversized bail knocks against my knuckles when I reel it. Also, it is virtually impossible to trip the bail with the handle. Hopefully, this will loosen up over time. All my life I have been using the handle of my reels to trip the bail. I recently learned that it is best to trip the bail manually. This reel will help me learn to do it that way. Finally, the design on the outside of the spool looks great but is likely to snag line when fishing. A little black tape wrapped around it will correct any problems if they arise. As for the PisciFun name. This is definitely a Chinese product, but it is a good one. It compares favorably with reels I have that cost 3 times this one. I don't think you can go wrong with it. It's not just a beginner's reel! Turns out that Pisci is derived from the Latin "Pices" which means FISH. So the translation from Chinese may mean "fishing fun". Just a guess and everyone else probably figured that out.

Nice, smooth reeling, like how it’s quite and drag is on point

My husband loves this reel! Casts nicely and operates surprisingly smooth.

I purchased this for my grandson(6), to replace his reel that broke. It's on a 6' rod, I wound 8 lb. test mono on it and it works great. It's a small reel, and I wouldn't recommend it for any rods over 6', I would move up to the 1000. After using it for the 1st time, my grandson looked at me and said, pop pop this is smoth. Need I say more? Good value, nice reel.

great reel for the price

Very very nice reel.. so smooth.. strong body frame with attractive design..

For the price this reel surely cannot be beaten for performance, quality and styling. Performs and handles just as good as the best in the class costing 3 and 4 times ( or more ! ) than it. Excellent.

I am in no way an expert, having being fishing for little over 6 months, however this reel is an incredible value for money. I originally purchased it as a cheap replacement for a broken reel that I found attached to a discarded combo . The original combo had a broken handle and I guess the original owner simply decided to dump it on the jetty instead of taking it home and fixing (the rod wasn't anything fancy but was still perfectly functional). Got the reel, loaded it with mono backing, braid main and fluoro leader and voila. The thing is a little beast. Casts well, is really smooth, decently built and has since then become my main reel, replacing the Shimano Sienna FG that I used in my main rod. Kudos for Piscifun for creating a good quality reel at great price. Had I not found this reel the discarded rod would like have finished in the landfill instead of being used in some of my latest catches. :-)

Better than my $150-$200 reels and for $20!? What a steal!

Ignore the rubbish about oversized bail arm and all the other nonsense, this is a top quality product, price unbelievable for what you get. Surpassed my expectations.. smooth action, top drag has a great sound when spool spins, almost like a tiny bell ringing... turn the handle and it spins endlessly... bailarm clicks back with assurance when turning to lock, light and balances well, easy on the eye and on par with shimano but fraction of the price. Don’t question it, just buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
