Piscifun Sword Fly Fishing Reel with CNC Machined Aluminum Alloy Housing, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 Weights (Black, Gunmetal, Pink, Space Gray)

Very high quality for the price. Very smooth drag system and main bearing. Balances out my 9’ 6wt great (7/8 reel) Have not yet fished it / got it wet and dirty . Build quality is on par with lamson (initial impressions) Had to slightly file the front of the reel to fit into my rods reel seat. Would recommend!

That’s the 3rd I buy. So glad with this one. A little bit smaller than usual size 10. Not an issue for pike, may be an issue for salmon !

The reel is awesome and well built. Also wanted to add that piscifun is a great company with great customer service. I couldn't buy the rod to go with this from Amazon in Canada. So I decided to buy it from piscifun directly. The rod had a defect and piscifun sent me another rod free of charge. Great products good service.

I've been fly fishing for over 40 years now and own a number of "high end" fly reels from companies such as Ross, Lamson and others. As such I know what a quality fly reel should look and feel like. This reel has that same feel. Is it a Lamson Speedster or Ross Evolution? No. But it isn't 300 dollars either. What this is, is a very good reel for an unbelievable price. In fact, I could buy 6 of these for the price of one of my high end reels. If I had a need for 6 reels I just might do it too. Folks will find the 2 obvious difference between this and those are the weight of the reel and the sensitivity of the drag. These appear to run a good 1 to 2 ounces heavier. Also the drag on this reel is overly sensitive. It kind of reminds me of the drag on the older Ross Cimarron reels. A very small adjustment on the drag knob means a big difference in the amount of drag applied to the reel. The problem is that with small adjustments making a big difference it's too easy to bump the drag knob and throw off the drag. The drag does have adjustment "clicks" in it to keep it where you want it, but still I would prefer a drag with a bit more room for error. As for durability of the reel, I won't be able to tell you that for another 10 years. But in using it to the degree I have, I've little doubt that it should prove to be a very good, long lived fly reel. Bottom line is this. If you're flush with cash, spend the money and purchase a high end reel. They are a joy to fish with. However, if you're like most people to whom money is an issue, I would highly recommend your looking at this reel. You will get an excellent reel at a price that--when you consider the quality of the reel--is just amazing. I don't think this will be the last Pascifun Sword I purchase.
