Not sure
@Dapper Dan Not at this time
Bought 2 of these. The second one is grinding . They are sending a replacement this week.
Guys, Piscifun reels might be the best reels for the money available to fisherman right now. They're without question under rated and currently under priced. Alijos 300 with 8.1:1 and super smooth 33lbs of drag, double shielded stainless bearings are built well and have the honest specs and capability for most salt water applications including....yes, including high speed jigging off shore for AJ's, Tuna or?? I believe Piscifun will not continue these prices once more fisherman figure this out. They are what they seem. Great reels with impressive specs. at a low price point. I also highly recommend the Piscifun carbon X spinning reels! These are phenomenal! Spinning reels. I'm not paid by any manufacturer. I've just used them and am extremely impressed.
I ordered one of these reels for musky solely because your review was superb. Not a lot of info out there on the Piscifun Alijos and I’m glad I stubbled on to your video!
Very cool, I hope you like it.
How did this reel perform for musky fishing? Are you satisfied? I'm looking into getting one. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Great name 😆
@@esox0790 very satisfied with it. I’ve had it for almost a year now and it’s still smooth, so it’s holding up throw big musky baits and the drag is great during the fight!
@@williamwright1806 Awesome, thanks!
I LOVE IT!! It cast 1oz jigs a mileee! Super smooth and it’s a steal😱 unbelievable. Thank you I wouldn’t have gotten it if it weren’t for u. Totally recommend it
👍
Got one 👍
As the guy says in the video it's a brilliant reel. I can say 100%
It's worth it.
If your thinking of spending your money on one of the more expensive reels then THINK AGAIN.
Try this first, good luck and very tight lines everyone 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
@MrCloudseeker Hi mate, been using mine in fresh water. It's a brilliant reel and WELL WORTH GETTING. I'm not affiliated to piscifun I'm just a guy with a passion for fishing.
@@gavin7706 what is the casting distance like 1oz lure
@@abdulaziz-wg6fo Hi Abdul, I throw big swimbaits with with this reel. It chucks them a fair distance. I've never measured the distances but probably 100 feet. Hope that's helpful.
If you get one I'm sure you'll be happy 😊
*I just came back from a fishing trip out at Catalina island. I took 3 rod and reel combos including this reel allijos being the less expensive of the bunch. Well let me tell you my review about the allijos.The reel is a beast!!!!! that I didn't even use my other reels. It pulled up huge calico bass like nothing. Pulled in some nice bonito and barracuda with ease. The drag was smooth and casting was incredible with a 7'8 rod.
This reel was keeping up with my friends daiwa lexa. Buy this reel you won't be disappointed*
I fish here in San Diego too what rod did you use for calicos and what lien
Line
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well czcams.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
I use this reel for a year now and it still works as in day one!! Very smooth and durable reel and cheap!
👍
I have the Tranx 400, Lexa 400 HD, and this Alijos 300 and I am very impressed with the Alijos so far. I got mine on sale for $85 and worth every penny.
Excellent, thanks for the insight!
Do you still feel the same way? How’s it holding up?
Just ordered one of these for Steelhead and Salmon fishing here in the PNW. Can't wait to test it out on a big Chinook in the river. That drag should come in handy for keeping big fish out of submerged logs and such.
Thanks for a really great review. Appreciate the real info and not just a bunch of specs 🙏
Great video. I would love to see a review of the piscifun alijos 300 Vs the kastking kapstan 300 . That would be awesome! I don't think anyone on you tube has done that yet! I'm sure many would want to see it!
Thanks for going over the reel and showing that engagement switch. Looks like an other entry way for saltwater.
Great review ! Im so curious how long it lasts with salt. We are all waiting for your next review on this reel. Thanks fisho !
Very well put together review of the Piscifun Alijos 300. I am purchasing this reel come payday. Going to pair it up with a 9'6" heavy Whisker Seeker rod. Anxious to see how it does.... I catfish from the bank, so I am always looking for setups that will cast far distances.
Thanks, good luck!
Great vid as always. I trust your reviews are honest. Especially since you say you don’t get commission
I discovered this brand when I bought a tackle bookbag from them and had it for 2 years and no problems so to think they make reels I gotta get one!
Try them out! 👍
Thanks didn't even know about this reel sad to say but I know now thanks cheers from finland
I know your a buzy man but post more lol
Need it
thanks for info-ing this reel, I have another choice now. I watched your both reviews.
👍
I recommend 50lb power pro max quarto because its 25% thinner and you'll get 250yds on the spool which is perfect for jigging 👍
I ordered week ago!!!Now i'm waiting.Thanks!!!
Let me know what you think
What is the address,and does it come in left hand retrieve? Thanks
@@robertcrawford9568 www.aliexpress.com/item/4000092040387.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.26db33ede8GBg1
YES they have it all variants hand!!
Thanks Nicoly
Robert Crawford You welcome!!!
Is the reel foot small like a 100 size baitcaster or will it fit on a conventional saltwater rod with a standard (larger reel seat)? Asking because I have a ton of conventional casting rods but bought a 100 size abu baitcaster and it won’t fit. I’m looking to upgrade reels without having to buy a rod
Hi I was thinking of buying this instead of the kapstan as the left handed one is out of stock. Does the line guide move while casting as it doesn't on the kapstan which let's you cast further
Sold me. Sounds like this reel is exactly what I've been looking for, its the price point I was looking for too. The 15% off pre-black friday deal brought it down to only $80 and free shipping! I love the MaxToro I bought for kayak fishing muskie but I've been afraid to cast it in the saltwater, this reel should fit the bill now that I'm back on the coast!
Wow, $80 is such a steal. You are going to love this reel.. I know it
I had the Maxtoro til it fell in the water a few weeks ago. After some researching, it was replaced by the Piscifun Alijos reel. It is definitely a quality reel and in the same caliber as the Maxtoro IMO. Cast just as smooth but it is lighter due to its smaller frame size but yet still has the same amount of line capacity. I'm still waiting to catch my first fish in it to see how the drag perform but so far I'm loving this reel.
@@elvislee7686 Nice, Thanks for the Impute! I just used my new Alijos for the first time today. Didn't catch anything with it but it casts nice and smooth, I honestly like the feel of it even better than the Maxtoro!
@@CrayOutoors it's really a nice reel for the money. Only time will tell it's longevity. I'm going to buy another one but in the 8.1:1 gear ratio and also with the power handle.
Great video. Thanks for all the info. I would not have considered the brand PISCIFUN, if not for your video reviews. Seems like a great competitor vs. Daiwa, Shimano
Hope you enjoy!
thinking about getting one of these as a back up light muskie set up and a travel reel. great video!
Thanks, go for it!
what rod are you you using?
I caught Yellowtail and Yellowfin Tuna with this reel.
I noticed the level wind does not move when you are casting,,, but does operate when you real in.... am I seeing things ???
That is correct
Nice reel I got my first salmon, 15lb on 10 lb mono very reliable reel for the money
Thanks Efren 👍
Just ordered one 20 minutes ago. Found the 300 size low profile bait casters the perfect size saltwater reel for inshore and nearshore fishing. Have a 300 Diawa Lexa to compare it to. I'm able to cast 80 yards with a 2oz. weight and a 7.5 ft rod with the Lexa 300.
👍
Do you know any budget rods for it
@@frostizz2072 ugly sticks and All Star rods from Academy sports and outdoors.
@@jaybailleaux630 I don’t see ugly sticks for bait caster, the ones I see are for spinning and I don’t have an academy
Can you use it for striper fishing? Cuz I was thinking about getting the kapstan 300 from Castking ?
Why not
A must have... looks great
Do you know if the reel can retrieve a 12oz to 16oz sinker or lures from 200ft deep water with ease?
Lol no idea
Just got mine a couple days ago gonna throw it off some piers just to get a good feel and test it out but this spring time it’s gonna be my yellowtail rod
👍 congrats, good luck!
Nice review. Ive been looking for another mangrove setup. Just wonder how it last in long term in saltwater. Lot of reel said they made for salt really dont last.
I’ll do a follow up review soon. Subscribe and turn notifications on so you don’t miss it
Any ideas if I can rig this reel up for Sturgeon?
Freshwater use.
Does anybody hear a grinding noise on retrieves in this reel ? Really want to get one
Do u think this 300 size 8:1:1 will be a good fit with my GX2 7ft. Med. Heavy rod? Because I'm really thinking of buying this reel!
I’m not familiar with the rod, but I don’t see why not
Should be a sweet combo man
How hard would it been for them to put a nylon gear and a clicker on off switch ..
I just picked mine up, was wondering about the line tie on the spool, and if it holds up if you tie a loop in the braid and connect it to that?
As long as the loop cinches down tight.
Hi I have never used a bait caster type reel in my life (im 62) but want to try the piscifun alijos 300 reel for surf fishing...... I use a 4 meter long rod and sling a minimum of a 4oz sinker, 50kg braid with 2 hooks and large baits...... is this reel capable of handling this type of setup. Am I wasting my time and money even trying something like this...... you advise would be most helpful....... Cheers
sorry mean 50lb braid
Great vid. You sold me. I have wanted a lower profile 300 without breaking the bank. Round reels are ok, but are a little uncomfortable after a lot of fishing. I must ask about the one sided handle. Looks cool but looks like a lot of arm movement to reel. Do you like it more than a two sided handle?
Hey Rod! Yes the power handle requires more arm movement for sure. I really like it for fast jigging in saltwater etc. you might want the regular handle to slow crawl those swimbaits if that’s what your using it for
@@phytobedo Thanks a million. That's just what I needed to know.
That power handle-knob looks super comfortable
It is pretty sweet.
What size rod are you using sorry if I missed it
Just bought one. Ill give my opinion
👍
what rod do you have on it?
You should do a review on the 13 fishing concept A reel. I love it!
Very cool, thanks!
I need a good snook rod for it. About 8 ft rod but beefy. Any ideas? Looking for something on the lower end as far as pricing goes.
Check out Offshore Angler Power Sticks
What rod do you have it paired with??
Cool video bro. Looking to get one for the same purpose as you. What rod do you recommend?
Thanks! It’s a Shimano Teramar 7ft 6in heavy action
I used the 400 8:1 for musky fishing. In 4 hours my reel took a shit.
Good review mate thanks.
Thank you
Just picked one up for musky cant wait to try it
👍
Can i get some feed back on it? Im a fellow musky guy and was wondering what other guys in the hobby experienced.
Sounds like I need to go Musky fishing!
@@phytobedo i agree!
👊
that'd be a sweet catfish reel.
I think it’s a good reel for catfish
I bought it specifically for throwing lures to steelhead, coho and Chinook salmon in rivers and off the jetty in SW WA
We’re you fishing fort pierce jetty at the beginning?
which is better for musky pike fishing 811 or 591 ? buying today please help asap
8.1:1 is faster than 5.9:1. Just depends on what you prefer or what your lure presentation is. Either one will work fine in my opinion. I like high speed personally, but again, you can make either speed work in any application.
same here which one u got
Would you recommend this over a tranX for fishing glide baits and some salt if so why?
I’ve never tried the Tranx, but I’ll save the $200.
I've never tried this reel but imma say one thing. Tranx is a beast of a reel
I have a tranxs and the tranxs blows this out of the water the difference is night and day
I would've bought one if it had a clicker, I'm gonna go with the kastking kapstan instead.
You’re right, no clicker on this one
Great review bud!
Thanks Mark!
Hey man, just ordered the reel from Amazon. I have a question about the weight you're throwing, you're saying the 7.6. Shomano rod can cast a 3-4 oz lure? I live in Hawaii and I want to change things up, so if what you're saying is correct, I should be able to throw a 2-3 oz. Plug( top water poppers) no problem. Just want to clarify. Great video btw, I watched both videos and ordered the reel off your suggestion. Mahalo, 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Dev
Yes 2-3 oz won’t be a problem. 👍
Have you opened it up? Are the gears brass? Or plastic?
Brass
What rod did you pair it with? Also where do I get the 15% off using that code? Thanks
I’ll tell you about the rod in part 2. Coming soon 🕰
What rod did you have this paired with? I’m looking for a casting rod and reel combo for surf and jetty fishing
I can’t remember the exact specifics. Check out my Alijos 6 months review. I talked about the rod in that one
@@phytobedo thank you I will look that up now!
👍
What kinda Terramar do u have on there
7ft 6 heavy
Did you hook the guy standing next to you on the jetty? Hook a fish and they move in on you right away.
😂
So can this reel be used for freshwater fishing and saltwater fishing?
Yes
What size and action of rod did you use for your test.
Stay tuned for part 2
What would be the max lure weight you would cast with this reel ? Or what max lure weight do you thing it can handle
Any size. That would largely depend on the rod
@@phytobedo cool and the reel has a long cast ?
Thanks for the reply
Yes it casts very well
Thanks for the vid. Would you mind sharing what rod it is on?
Here’s part 2 I talk about the rod czcams.com/video/aSvxlQKwNY4/video.html
Can I use it for vertical jigging (slow pitch)
I don’t see why not
It works fine to use this in freshwater right? There is this guy selling it for 50% unused, and want it to fish pike etc.
Absolutely
@@phytobedo Thanks for the fast reply! Gonna buy it :)
Is this reel still holding up for you?
Any issues?
Yep, it’s working great!
Hi I just bought this reel. What rod did you pair this reel with?
Watch the second review, it’s in there czcams.com/video/aSvxlQKwNY4/video.html
What kind of rod is that
excellent reel review... looking for something for muskie up here in michigan... i think i found it
👍
I used the code to try and purchase the reel and it says its invalid... any input on how to get the 15% off.
I guess this code is expired. Try FWF12
@@phytobedo any others?
Would it make a good heavy duty freshwater reel
Yep, big swimbaits etc
Great video what type of rod did u have with that reel ?
Thanks! It’s a Shimano Teramar. I do t remember the specs but I talk about it in the 6 month review
czcams.com/video/aSvxlQKwNY4/video.html
I need a cheap rod for that reel looking for like a 7.5 or 8 foot rod
What rod he that?
what can u say on 5.9:1 version im plan to get one pls help
Watch the follow up coming in 1-2 days
Phytobedo Fishing thank u very much ill wait it
What shimano rod did you pair it with?
Stay tuned for part 2
Great casting what size line and rod? Looks dope.
I have 30lb power pro on ot
I wanna get this reel but can’t decide if I want the single handle or double handle
What kind of fishing?
@@phytobedo saltwater probably swimbaits
Is it suitable if used for slow pitch jigging?
Sure, maybe get the regular handle instead of the power handle though
@@phytobedo ok thanks 👍👍
How is 30b braid working for you ?
Fine
Hey what are the rod specs that you’re using
Don’t remember exactly offhand, but I covered it in the follow up vid czcams.com/video/aSvxlQKwNY4/video.html
What's the biggest baits yall have thrown on the Alijos
I have one that I bought to use as a big swimbait reel for largemouth. After I moved to Texas, I started using this to throw cut bait with up to 6 oz of lead weight. No problems, and it still cast smooth as it did the day it was new. (I typically have it on an 8' rod. Throwing on a longer rod may make a difference)
@@rodfather_bass_fishing hey man thabks for the reply! I bought one for swimbaits myself lol. I thought about buying another one for what youre talking about. Big bait for blue cats here in KY. 🤙 love my reel btw
Tried your code it doesn’t work
Can u use it as a freshwater reel?
Absolutely
@@phytobedo ok and its a good musky reel too right? Bc i think its good and pretty cheap
Hi nice ...Please make a review about seaknight sniper baitcaster reel
Very good.
What lb braid should I use for inshore salt water in general?
General? I’d say between 30 and 60lb
I use 30 lb
Phytobedo Fishing ok so if I use 30 lb braid what should my lead be?
What are you fishing for?
Phytobedo Fishing honestly, I’m pretty new to fishing in general, I inshore fish in southeastern Florida, I fish mangroves a lot and hit a jetty on occasion, is there a recommendation for just general readiness? Obviously I’d like to bag some bigger predatory fish but I’m just not quite to the point that I’m targeting specific fish.
You can get a abu Garcia 3k for that same price if it’s a knock off for a steal why does it have a price range of its local better built Predecessors
What rod do you pair it to
Watch my follow up review. Will be up in 1 or 2 days
you think this would hold up to muskie?
I’ve never caught a Muskie in my life, but yes I think so
Do you know that is reel called AlijoZ. Not AlijoS?
Not when it first came out
What rod are you using
Shimano Teramar 7ft 6 heavy
