If you’ve been following my fishing adventures for a while, you know I am obsessed with "finesse" fishing. There is nothing quite like the feel of a light setup that can still handle a monster bass. Recently, I got my hands on the Piscifun Carbon XT Spinning Reel, and honestly? It’s been a permanent fixture on my favorite rod ever since.
As an Amazon Influencer, I test a lot of gear, but it's rare to find a reel that balances weight and power this effectively without breaking the bank. Let's dive into why the Carbon XT is making waves.
The first thing you notice when you take this out of the box is the weight—or lack thereof. The 1000 series weighs in at a staggering 5.5oz. Piscifun achieved this by using a high-percentage carbon fiber for both the frame and the rotor. When you're casting for 8 hours straight, every ounce matters. This reel eliminates wrist fatigue, allowing you to stay out on the water longer.
Don't let the light weight fool you; this thing is built like a tank. It features an 8+1 shielded stainless steel bearing system. In my testing, the retrieve was buttery smooth, even after getting splashed with sand and salt spray. The shielded bearings are a huge plus for longevity, keeping the grit out of the internal gears.
This is where the Carbon XT really shocked me. Most ultralight reels tap out at 10 or 12 pounds of drag. The Carbon XT boasts a 22lb max drag thanks to its triple carbon disc drag system. I hooked into a stubborn 5lb largemouth that tried to dive into the heavy lily pads, and the drag was consistent and smooth, giving me the confidence to pull him out without snapping my line.
Whether you are a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, the Piscifun Carbon XT offers a premium feel at a fraction of the cost of the "big name" brands. It looks sharp with its matte black and carbon finish, and it performs even better than it looks.
Pro Tip: Pair the 2000 series with a medium-light fast action rod for the ultimate drop-shot or Ned-rig setup!
