I’ve had the piscifun carbon x 500 out enough to know I really like it.

Thanks for the head’s up on the Piscifun reel Bob B. Great reviews everywhere, and about impossible to beat that weight. I just scored one on sale at Amazon for $47.50. We’ll see what I think…

So I used the Piscifun reel this week on a highcountry backpack. It handled this 15″ Rainbow with ease. Great little reel. Nice thing, apart from its weight, is how small it breaks down.

Wow nice fish!

Also a belated “happy 10th anniversary” to this thread. Back in 2013 I picked up the Quantum rod & reel combo Mike was recommending on page 1. It served me well for 5 years before getting broken in a canoeing mishap.
