Piscifun Spark Pro Baitcasting Reel - Low Profile 6.6:1 Baitcaster Fishing Reel, Super Compact 16.5 LB Carbon Fiber Drag, 11 + 1 Shielded Ball Bearings Magnetic Brake System(Left Handed)

This is a great reel for the money. It's lightweight and smoother than I expected it to be. It doesn't feel quite as solid as my Shimano SLX, however it didn't cost as much either. The only minor gripe a have is that the spool capacity with thicker line (50lb braid) is quite low. I respooled with 10lb and it's perfect. I've only had it out a couple times but it's landed fish just fine.

I am new to using baitcaster reels, my husband swears by them. Very easy to learn, be light weight, smooth, very little backlash. Love the color!! Recommend for first time users and pros. My husband steals it from me alot! Lol

My initial thoughts on this reel is that it's small and light fits great in my palm, has a very shallow spool should cast well, feels smooth as any other reels at this price point, ok maybe better than some $100 reels (cough cough Abu Garcia Revo X). The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is it's not black. Another thing is its frame is some type of polymer so it makes me question it's rigidity and durability over time.

Works great cast a mile good little reel love it

Love the look, love the smoothness of the cast!

I had not purchased any fishing equipment for years and man, how equipment has changed! I have not used it yet but first impressions it far exceeds my expectations. Will know how great a reel is when I hit the river with my grandson. Update will follow later........

The tension knob falls off after a few cast and retrieves. It happened to me twice and although they replaced the part it was the wrong size. So they were gracious enough to send me a new reel the same thing happened again. I gave up after that and replaced the knob with one from another reel Fromm a different company.

I am an avid fan of Piscifun and own quite a few of their products from their serpent and elite rods to the phantom and alijos reels. I’ve tried other Chinese knock offs and most well known companies at various price points. One thing that I have enjoyed about Piscifun is that they offer a quality unique product at a lower price point than other manufacturers and their models often have more features. The Spark Pro is a good reel but here is why I think there are better options in this price range:At $70 they are now competing with companies like Lews, Daiwa, etc. The reel performs well but doesn’t perform mechanically up to par as other brands in the same range. For the cost you are purchasing this reel for the paint scheme, carbon fiber handle, and EVA knobs. I suppose if matching rod colors or appearance is important than its worth the price tag. I tend to swing toward more solid reels. Any of the current Lews speed spools in this price range out perform the spark mechanically in my humble opinion. I did like that the spark was well oiled when I received it, that seems to be a rarity these days.I also noticed typos on mine regarding the line capacity. The L in pounds appears to be a number 1. doesn’t affect the performance but it shows the lack of quality control on some of these reels.Overall: If you are looking for a reel with a fancy paint scheme, carbon fiber handle, and foam knobs this is for you. Just don’t trust the incorrectly printed line capacity on the chassis! if you want a more mechanically sound reel I would suggest spending your hard earned $$$ elsewhere. There are many better options in this price class from more established manufacturers and from Piscifun as well. Function over finish for me.

nix zu beklagen super Verarbeitung, nicht zu schwer nicht zu leicht liegt perfekt in der Hand und keine 6 würfe direkt n kleiner Zander

Can't complain really solid reel for the money I'll be buying piscifun again

Nice reel and caught my personal best pike of 25lb 4oz with it.So it is a reel that can take some stick.

Super rolle super PreisHabe auch andere mit dem doppelten Preis aber sehe wirklich kein unterschied

The reel works as intented, but some parts are fragile, like the line guide holder in the picture, which broke off when I reeled a swivel in.Using buyer/seller messaging on Amazon, I was easely able to get a replacement part for free.Still, I would suggest being careful with the reel, as I've broken part of the reel brake by trying to change the magnets. It still works, but it'll pop off if I turn it too high or too low, and I'd need to put the part back in place again.Speaking of the brakes, the side plate opens using a small switch below the reel. This is probably why some people complain about the side plate falling off unexpectedly. Not a very good design IMO, although I've never had trouble with it as I don't put my fingers there.In my previous review, I was hard on customer service, as I had first contacted them through email, and they used poor english, constantly referring to the part I needed (line guide holder) as "tension disk", despite this being a different part entirely.Then, I switched from email to amazon's buyer/seller messaging, and everything was resolved quickly.
