Review: Excellent Quality and Lovely Price - Niles Crane said something like, "If I knew fishing involved this much shopping, I would have..." There are so many supreme quality rods and reels that will take your arm or leg, and this brand is not one of them. Excellent quality, lovely price, machined beauty to behold, Piscifun fly reel will do everything other reels with eye-popping prices would do. I just took up on fly fishing, and initially, I bought from the seller 7/8 reel. Then 3/4, and 9/10 Sword reels from the same seller, because of the already mentioned qualities. 4/5/6 reel came with the rod I bought in a big box store. better known as "can't-get-out-under-$200 store." I did not intend to spend an exorbitant amount of money to equip myself for this brand-new hobby. The build quality, mechanical function, appearance--all beyond my satisfaction as a novice. The 3/4 reel, paired with Eagle Claw Featherlite 3 (yeah, cheap, but so nice) works charmingly. If I am going up the Sierras, I am taking this combo. I do not imagine I will ever saltwater fly fish, but I just wanted to have 9/10 reel, for the sake of the ownership. With the 7/8 reel, of course, I am going to land some monsters in the future. I especially liked the drag on these reels, so sensitive and positive in braking, from barely noticeable to the full stop; and very quiet and easy to adjust. People say pre-loaded lines are garbage, but I find them very good for my purpose. I have not caught any fish with these yet, but I am practicing, and getting better each time. Fishes, quake in your little holes! I'll be coming after you!
Review: Very, very nice reel! - Very nice, well-made reel. It has a quality feel to it, and looks darn good on a fly rod. The drag is super smooth. It has the quality of reels costing many, many times more. I can't think of anything negative to say about it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you change the Blaze 5/6 to a Left hand retrieve.  where can I get the answer ?**
A: Take the spoil off inside the spool is a sleeve bearing. Don't take the disc stuff out, you should only be messing with the spool.Take that bearing out and flip it over and put it back in. Now it's a left hand reel.

**Q: What’s the difference between the sword and sword ll?**
A: It is the newest up-dated version.  It is lighter, has  an anodized treated finish, that is stronger against scratches, has an improved handle.  For the small difference in price, it is a better version.  It does not have a sealed drag, so I would not use it for saltwater fishing!

**Q: What are the od, id and width dimensions of the 3/4 reel?**
A: Dia. 2.9 in. And width is .83in weight is 4.1. #3 line with   50yrds of 20lb backing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Drag Comes Loose, But Overall Great Value
*by T***R on May 4, 2016*

Originally Purchased: March 2, 2016 Purchased this reel to go with a 7 weight fly rod. The first large fish that got on the reel, the drag became loose and I ended up with a ton of line continuing to come off the spool after the fish had stopped running. I ended up losing a really nice fish because of the reel. This was a continuing issue throughout the three days of fishing. I don't know if the drag is being moved as I cast or what is going on, but regardless, the drag would become very loose and messy throughout the day. The reel was quiet and I liked the green color; its drag system comes loose, but performs well when called upon. I would recommend this reel for anyone who will be catching large fish who rely on the drag of the reel to play the fish, just be aware to check the drag occasionally to ensure it has not become loose enough to spin freely. Follow Up: Dec 29, 2016 After using this reel on many other trips, I am updating the rating (from 2 stars to 4 stars) and revised to recommending this reel. While there are still issues with the reel's drag coming loose throughout the day, I felt the need to convey that the drag system overall has performed very well since my initial fishing trip. I have used the reel on large rivers in both Wyoming and Colorado and thankfully had many fish get to the reel and strip line. On a few trips, I was able to land large fish when others were not. They would hook a lot of fish but were not able to get them to net; I cannot contribute my success to the reel alone, but it was multiple days of fishing and I was able to consistently land large fish throughout. Once the drag is set correctly, the reel performed admirably; I would recommend this reel and I would purchase this reel again. For the price point, this is an excellent reel.
