As Fishermen, we are all too familiar with the fact that fishing gear is expensive and only going to get more expensive over time. But there are some new companies that are emerging that offer direct to consumer sales of high quality less expensive fishing gear. Piscifun is one of those companies that can save you some serious money on equipment. And, Piscifun reels are built in the same factories, by the same workers, as the high priced “name” brand gear.
PISCIFUN REELS QUICKSHOT:
Piscifun reels are a high quality affordable alternative to some of the more popular name brand reels. Built in the same factory and by the same workers that build brands such as Daiwa, Piscifun reels are made with the same exacting standards and advanced technologies. Their direct to customer business model results in substantial savings by eliminating the markups from distributors and retailers. Piscifun reels can be a great choice if you are looking to get the most value for your fishing tackle dollar. They are made in and shipped from China. They come with a 30-day return policy and 1 year warranty. I give them an overall rating of 81 out of 100 – Recommended.
Now, I love my Shimano, Daiwa, Okuma and Penn rods and reels. I have some Penn reels that are over 50 years old and still fishing. But, I am also frugal and always looking for the best value for my money. I fish hard and my gear takes a lot of abuse from bouncing around in the back of my pick up while driving down the beach, to fishing in saltwater year round. In order for me to consider gear to be a good value it, not only must be a good price, but it has to stand up to hard use and the saltwater environment. The question for us here is, “does Piscifun reels fit that definition of value?” But first, “who the heck is Piscifun anyway?”
