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

I returned it, but I’d still give it 5 stars. Why? I returned it because I decided I wanted something stronger, with an aluminum frame and NOT with aluminum gears (brass is best for strength and overall smoothness). This reel however, is smooth out of the box and does cast very slickly. It also costs so little that it is a no brainer for someone wanting a good starter reel to learn baitcasting at a very affordable price. Also it would make a good lightweight reel for fishing situations where you don’t need gut wrenching power, or even for people who have pain issues and need something very light.But to each their own, and for me this reel just wasn’t going to work long term because of the way I fish. I take care of my stuff but I do use it hard and I felt like this wasn’t going to hold up with a graphite frame. Aluminum gears also tend to get rough and grinding feeling after a while, which I don’t like.

Es un excelente carrete y de muy buena calidad

Ok this is not a "On the water" review this is more a "Used it for a few hours with various weights casting outside and various checks etc" review.Both baitcasters have pretty much flawless casting/retrieve performance, line comes off spools very smoothly, spool bearings seem to be made for durability and not spool speed so free spinning performance of the spool bare is lower than other reels, but will probably last you far longer in the long run.Drag performance is phenomenal, most drags tend to "Break the weight free" and they will stop/start up again depending on how much you jerk the line, this drag you loosen until the weight free's itself and it will not speed up/slow down/stop/start, drag pulls out incredibly smooth which I never see in sub $600 reelsHandle feels nice, spins freely, very light weight and doesn't flex at all under load. Cradles very well in your palm.Now to the downside, this reel makes noise in two ways and only one is correctable. First off jerk line driving will cause bearing whine which is to be expected when they're load bearings and not speed bearings, but it can catch some people off guard if they try to jerk with the reel instead of the rod.The second downside is both my reels felt "Raw" and made slight buzz noise until I opened them up and had to apply grease liberally to the main gear, the amount of grease that was applied to them was minimal at best, but after greasing all gears worm gear and a drop of oil in every bearing the feeling improved phenomenally.Easily feels like a $400+ reel at that point, to which I hope Piscifun makes it a point of contention to apply grease to the gears in several points, as when I opened it up it looked like the grease was only applied in one blob on every gear vs several gear application points, which explains why it felt so raw at the start.If you don't know how to do regular reel maintenance this is a 4 star reel and I wonder about long term reliability, but if properly greased up/oiled this is easily a 5 star reel.

Viaggia molte bene sia al lancio che al recupero...ottimo controllo...prezzo buono!
