Piscifun Alijoz 400 Baitcast Fishing Reel, 38lb Max Drag Aluminum Alloy Frame, Available in 6.6:1/8.1:1 Ratio, Freshwater and Saltwater Low Profile Casting Reel for Musk

Received in only couple days to my door. Nice. Well boxed and protected. Took out and admired as how nice this reel is. Immediately mounted on my older Silstar "Limit" 7ft rod after receiving. Spooled on some 30# braided line then used some large rubber O-rings as casting bait. Found out quickly to turn down that spool clutch knob to keep spool from free spinning so much and then untangle the line. Yep, just like the old baitcasters I remember, but not as fancy. Now, let's try this again. Once I got the knob dialed in, the reel worked flawless. The 6.6:1 ratio in my opinion is perfect for the larger fish as it lets the reel have more torque to fight the fish. One thing I did do after mounting reel onto the rod is I took a couple long, strong Zip Ties and wrapped around the rod seat and reel mount for better security, in case the reel/rod holding screw loosened up from usage. Seen some older videos of users of this model reel saying the "clicker" isn't very audible. I'll say the company must of heard ya, as the clicker on this reel is quite loud and I also like the counter-balance on the handle. Gives your thumb a rest spot and also lets your thumb give that extra bit of more handle torque if needed. Overall, I'm quite impressed by this reel, from its color, 9 bearings to make things smooth, to how stout it seems to be made. I'm not a professional fisherman, but I like good equipment without the high costs of purchase, so I hope this reel lasts as long as some of the reels I have and use.

Im not one to come back to a product on amazon and write a review but this one i felt like I had to. Bought it to replace a reel for jigging in prep for the red snapper season in florida which never happened...but took it down to Islamorada in the florida keys and it blew my mind. The reel is very light, spooled with I believe 60lb braid it holds more than id need. Handled 10-15lb blackfin tuna with ease jigging. Easy to cast with it as well as even made a heck of a trolling reel. Caught mutton snapper, barracuda, and even tarpon. Honestly when I can ill be replacing most of my trolling setups and bottom setups with this reel. For the price you honestly cant beat it. Highly recommend this reel

Nothing short of amazing. This reel has become my favorite. The light weight and low profile is great, but it’s smooth function is outstanding.

Garbage Amazon reel. Used for less than an hour and the handle stopped re-engaging the spool after casting. Just spins and spins. Hate to say it, but spend the money for a name you can trust, because you absolutely cannot trust this. Edit: Adding a star to my review for their customer service. Prompt and willing to work with me to solve the issue. Despite my own hesitation to purchase another, they seem to be willing to work with customers when an issue arises. I would not recommend the product but if you end up in the same position as me, rest assured your problem will be handled. Removing star because the second reel I got to replace this one had the same issue within 2 weeks of use.

A buddy of mine who regularly catches BIG catfish ( mostly blues)highly recommend the Piscifun Alijoz 400 Baitcaster, so I went and bought 2 of them. Shipping to my door in 2 days. Out of the box they are beautiful, smooth reels. Spooled both with 40lb mono no problem, although being the lower profile style caster, they won’t physically hold near as much line mono or braid compared to the standard baitcast style. Took em with me to the lake that night. Great casting distance and the 8:1 gearing makes bringing that line back in extremely fast. Went to cast the other one and…..no idea how but the drag wheel and the reel handle were locked together and could not be freed up without taking the entire handle system apart, and that really didn’t work either! Not good at all for a $120 reel straight out of the box! Frustrating! Next morning I filed a return for the one reel. Extremely easy return process and a new reel was shipped out to me that same day! I hadn’t even dropped the other reel at UPS yet! Another plus….. when returning the reel, just put back in original box and give to UPS Store, get reciept and done! Replacement here in 2 days, also went out that night to both reels flawless performance! All in all….quality control at the factory may be lacking a bit but the excellent customer service make up for that! Extremely happy with the purchase, all around great reels!
