Piscifun Chaos XS Round Reel

This is a value priced baitcaster. I have three of them and one already started acting up less than a year after purchase. We use them very often...several times a month all year round...so more than a lot of reels get used on average. The reel is smooth and the drag is good...initially. They cast well with 30lb mono and have handled some decent sized fish up to 45lbs. I would say if you used a reel two or three times a year and was not terribly hard on your equipment, it's a pretty good deal. They are very valued priced and easy to replace. If you were dipping your toe into the baitcaster pool this would be a good reel to check and see if you like this style of reel. If you were going to buy a reel to teach a beginner the ins and outs of a baitcaster, also this is a good reel for that. The function is good as is the performance...they just don't see to hold up very well and the quality control seems spotty. Bottom line is that it is a cheap reel that functions very well within the parameters I have stated. When you get it, you will be impressed. It is only over time and use does the weak points start to show. I still have two in use...one about 16 months old and they perform OK. You get what you pay for. If you have been using ABUs, these are not a replacement. No matter what you read or what you see on You Tube. For the money, buy a used ABU and get it serviced or clean it and lube it yourself. You may spend a bit more, but you will be happier in the long term.

Looks awesome. Has an ambassador feel and handling. Very sharp

Piscifun chaos xs 50's and the chaos pros are great reels I have 6 of them . Did have a problem with one reel on my latest purchase . After about a week I did get a replacement. Customer service does take a little time to get back to you but they might be in a different time zone I'm not sure . Theys reels have gotten me lots of 8 to 70 pound fish no problem . They are good for sturgeon muskie catfish and many other tough fighting large fish. Can't wait to try out the Piscifun® Alijoz 400 that will be my next purchase

Very Good Reel ! Japanese Quality . I have bought 4 of them in the 5000 series for catfishing and will be buying 2 more soon . The 6000 series has some good horsepower and Torque for fish over 130 lbs. . The 5000 series will handle a 100 blue cat with no problem . I bought the 2 year extended Warranty for $6.00 , giving it a 3 year warranty .

This reel is pretty damn good for the money. It is smooth and cast a mile. The bait clicker is not that loud. Not sure if that's the way they are or if something is going on with the reel. I'm still happy with it and would definitely recommend and I would buy again.
