Piscifun Viper X Spinning Fishing Reel - 5.2:1/6.2:1 High Speed Fishing Reel, 10+1BB, Lightweight Ultra Smooth Spin Reels, Carbon Fiber 33 LB Max Drag, Size 500-5000

Great little reel! Ideal for ultralight fishing. Smooth retrieve and lightweight. All in all a high quality reel. Strongly recommended.

A silky smooth reel i purchased the 1000 size for bfs fishing casts sub one gram lures with ease and for the price you simply cant go wrong the only negative is theirs no reverse as is the modern trend as an older angler (65) it takes some getting used to

Crackin little reel for my ultralight fishing

So I'd like to start off by saying this reel is worth more than 5 stars after what happened while I was out yesterday. I have yet to actually bring in a fish on this reel but I was determined yesterday and my determination was over effective because a pleasure boater buzzed the shoreline I was fishing and just so happened to catch my line (12lb braid at 150yds) and stripped the spool entirely before I could cut it. After the incident had taken place I inspected the reel and unlike past brands I've had this one held up everything functioned the way it was supposed to 10 out of 10 would recommend anybody purchase this reel it has definitely earned a wonderful reputation for piscifun to be my go-to reel brand.

My wife loves this vipersx series 1000 and I ain’t gonna lie I might just buy me one for when we go panfishing at the honey hole for crappie and bluegill

I bought this reel for my wife to use. I took it out today to see how it matched up to a new rod. All seems well. For an inexpensive reel, it casted nicely and the drag felt smooth. The bail kicks back easily. The retrieve was very smooth and silent but unfortunately, not catching anything, I didn't get to load test it. :) My one knock on it is that it is the only reel I own that does not have a lever to disengage the one-way clutch. My wife will often accidently crank the lure too far in. On the old reels, she knows to flip the lever and let a little line out. She'll have to get used to this one. I was surprised Piscifun did not include the lever function on this reel as even the next lower model series (Flame) includes it. Certainly not a major issue, just letting you all know in case like me, you didn't look closely at the photos before ordering.

Perfect fit

Been using on a bass pole works well even after a year. Happy the proformance.
