This is my second reel from Piscifun. I bought this reel for my trout setup after purchasing the Carbon X and I was blown away at the quality of the Caron X reel, so why not try the $30 one.
-Packaging is still fairly good, obviously not as many bells and whistles come with the reel as the higher end models. (Decals, bag etc) But it still had the nice box, instructions and extra drag washers. Just the essentials.
-The 2000 series reel is petite, light and surprisingly visually striking for the $30 price tag. The handle feels great, not a very bulky reel, excellent for trout, smallies etc.
-The bearings are super smooth, I will say the Carbon X is a better spinning reel all around, at 4x's the price that's to be expected, with a slightly more noticeable smoothness to the bearings. but overall the retrieve is still buttery smooth, far superior to any "cheap" reel I have ever tried of the same price point +/- $30.
As well, the gears have no lash at all and everything is very tight.
- Casting, it casts excellent with no real notable difference to the Carbon.
Overall, if you just want a good gift idea that they will be pleased with, a great little budget reel, a new brand of reels to try, or even a long term reel ,this is an incredible price for a reel that is the same quality as a $65 reel, easily. Piscifun makes some of the nicest quality reels , but at a fraction of the price, YouTube reviews prove it!
