Kastking, Picifun, etc.). Extremely light weight relatively to size, strong carbon fiber/aluminum design, and solid performance for most people’s needs. BUT really not much internal difference compared to the $30-$60 reels with marginal benefits. Long Review: I received this reel and initially loved it so much that I went and ordered another one. However after using the reel a second time, I decided to return the second unopened one because while I do believe that the Picifun Carbon X is currently the best reel from the budget/affordable online fishing companies; there is not enough benefits compared to the $30-60 reels to justify buying another one. But on the positive notes first. 1. Lightweight: because of the carbon fiber on the neck, body, and rotor of the reel, the 4000 size is incredibly light and strong. The aluminum spool is also designed to minimize the amount of aluminum used and thus the weight. I would highly recommend the reel for the anglers constantly casting. 2. Smooth: Working the reel feels smooth and solid. I did not feel any slippage or straining in the gear system when reeling, but I cannot say that for larger fish (60+ lbs). Furthermore, as you can see in the pics, the internal is as described with a high gearing ratio plus brass pinion. Nothing seems flimsy or plastic in the internals. 3. Gearing and retrieval: Gear ratio simply means that for 1 turn of the handle, the rotor spins x times. In this case, the rotor spins ~6 times for every turn. This is important because when you need to reel in a fish quickly, for example, away from rocks and obstacles, you want speed. Also important for lures since faster retrieval means your lure can spend more time at the top if it’s going fast. 4. Screw in handle: both convenient and annoying. Being able to remove and attach the handle simply by spinning the handle is super nice for storing and transporting the reel. However, if you are fighting fish, one might occasionally and accidentally spin the reel in the other direction. This loosens the handle which is annoying in the middle of the action. 5. “Sealed” drag system: There is indeed a rubber seal in the reel cap so that less water gets into the top of the drag system. BUT, the entire bottom of the spool and drag washers are quite exposed to water especially if you fish the surf and occasionally dunk the reel. So I don’t quite get what the big deal is given that water will eventually go from the bottom of the drag washers to the top. The drag washers are large carbon fiber ones, and the sound of the drag clicking is also quite nice. Not annoying or uneven. As to the main negative that made me return the extra reel Not really significant improvements for most people to justify the $80 Carbon X over the cheaper Picifun Honor XT or Viper II: The internals of this reel is not that different from the $40 Picifun Viper II. This does makes servicing the reel super easy. But that also means the main function of the reel (to retrieve line) is comparably the same across the fishing reel line up. I would be more excited if Picifun took the external design and applied to a better internal system even if it was more expensive. Two most desired improvements would be A. they could better seal the reel for surf fisherman to prevent sand and saltwater buildup inside the reel. B. Add carbon fiber to the internals and replace the remaining plastic and salt susceptible brass and steel. ## Features - 【Feather Light】The Carbon X is meticulously crafted with an all carbon fiber body, rotor and side plate making it one of the lightest in its class, size 500 weighing in at a mere 5.1 oz. The Carbon X greatly reduces the fatigue placed on your wrist over a long day of chasing those trophy fish. - 【Consistent & Powerful Drag】3 premium oversized carbon washers give you a best in class up to 33lbs drag power and the sealed rubber ring protects your drag from being compromised by water and dust. These drag features offer you the ultimate experience whether you’re chasing your tournament kicker or spending a day with the kids on the lake. - 【Silky Smooth】You will be amazed at the incredible smoothness of the Carbon X, the 10+1 shielded stainless steel ball bearings are critical for increased smooth operation, retrieve performance and corrosion resistance. - 【Multiple Retrieves】The Piscifun Carbon X spinning reels features a lightning fast 6.2:1 gear ratio as well as a buttery smooth 5.2:1 in our 1000 model. These 2 gear ratios are the perfect combination, the high speed retrieve helps every angler battle the strong, fast runs of the biggest fish and the moderate speed is perfect for finessing in your next trophy. - 【Unique & Innovative】The Carbon X is loaded with incredible features like our reinforced anti corrosion stainless steel main shaft and Zinc Alloy drive gear, direct drive screw-in aluminum handle, hollow nest shaped spool, smooth positive click drag, and high density EVA knob. These features are typically found in reels in a much higher price range, but we are making it affordable for everyone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07FHYMNLZ | | Bearing Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Bearing Number | 11 | | Brand | Piscifun | | Brand Name | Piscifun | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 305 Reviews | | Fishing Line Type | Braided | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 33 Pounds | | Fishing Technique | Spinning | | Fishing technique | Spinning | | Gearbox Ratio | 1 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hand orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Included Components | Spinning Reel ×1, User Manual ×1 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14L x 13W x 8.9H centimeters | | Item Highlight | 33lb max drag, 10+1 shielded bearings, 6.2:1 fast retrieve, smooth power，9.6oz High capacity for bigger fish | | Item Weight | 458 g | | Item weight | 458 g | | Line Capacity | 10/250 | | Manufacturer | Piscifun | | Manufacturer Part Number | Piscifun-RL004-C | | Material | Carbon Fiber | | Material Type | Carbon Fiber | | Model Name | Piscifun-RL004-C | | Model Number | Piscifun-RL004-C | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Anti-Reverse | | Size | 500-4000 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Piscifun - **Colour:** Black - **Fishing technique:** Spinning - **Hand orientation:** Ambidextrous - **Material:** Carbon Fiber ## Images ![Carbon X Spinning Reels, Light to 5.1oz, Carbon Frame and Rotor, 33LBs Max Drag, 10+1 Shielded BB, 5.2:1/6.2:1 High Speed Gear Ratio, Smooth Powerful Saltwater Freshwater Spinning Reel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IPYm9iIbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why choose Piscifun Carbon Series spinning reels?** A: Carbon Series reels are lightweight, smooth and powerful, making them a great choice for everyday freshwater fishing. **Q: Which size is best for my rod and fishing style?** A: Choose 500/1000 for ultralight setups, 2000 for finesse fishing, and 3000/4000 for bass or all-around freshwater use. **Q: Does it have a smooth retrieval?** A: Yes.

Well it certainly was, lovely clutch that i have had purring on a number of occassions. I have well and truly tested this reel out on some rugged coastline chasing wrasse. On one session i landed 20 ballan wrasse to over 4lb from deep snaggy gullies, the reel handled these powerful fish easily. I am buying another of these reels and have nothing negative to say about them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Piscifun Carbon X Spinning Reels, Light to 5.1oz, Carbon Frame and Rotor, 33LBs Max Drag, 10+1 Shielded BB, 5.2:1/6.2:1 High Speed Gear Ratio, Smooth Powerful Saltwater Freshwater Spinning Reel - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility - Piscifun Viper X Spinning Reels, Carbon Fiber 33LBs Max Drag, 10+1 Shielded BB, Saltwater Freshwater Spinning Fishing Reel, 5.2:1/6.2:1, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 Series --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/260822057-carbon-x-spinning-reels-light-to-5-1oz-carbon-frame](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/260822057-carbon-x-spinning-reels-light-to-5-1oz-carbon-frame) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
