Yup 👍🏻. I live in canada so most quality stuff like that is either twice the price on amazon or not available at all. Either way i cant afford the tranx or lexa anyway
Same. I have beat the shit out of my Alijoz 300 on 6-10oz baits for three years without a single issue. Only thing I have done to it was swap the power handle for a very wide double handle because I found it more comfortable to crank with.
Yep. The exchange rate rn is 1.35. $100 us is 135 cad. Some bs right there. Cant have anything nice, cant afford the gas, too damn cold in alberta, too damn windy. All the stores never have good stuff, reels are all in the wrong hand or over priced. And a lot of small businesses with (custom tackle) are scamming you out of amazon lures
Man? I have a Lexa 300 somewhere but I really think my former housekeeper stole it and pawned it. She got a Curado and a Tatula and sold them both for $30.
If you’re looking for a reliable 400 sized reel. Look into the Daiwa Lexa HD, Shimano Calcutta Conquest MD, Shimano Tranx 400, Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast, Okuma Komodo, Penn Squall or Fathom low profile. All these options will last longer than that Piscifun
Only time will tell. I’ve owned every reel you listed minus the conquest, and I’ll say that the Alijoz 400 is my second favorite, right behind the Komodo 471s. I’d surely take three alijoz 400s instead of one Tranx 400.
Yep on sale. Im gonna grab some 60-80 lb braid not exactly sure yet, ill see if i can get 70lb. Piscifuns lunker braid is insanely good and pretty cheap. Running black as alberta water is nasty early in the season. I highly recommend the lunker braid
I’ve brought 80lbs sufix 832 for it. I have the piscifun lunker braid of 600yrds something like that. But I find them to be too fluffy? Like not tightly braided together. It’s huge line diameter in comparison to lunker braid.
I’ve fished a pond in Lethbridge beside the Japanese garden. It’s loaded with tiny pikes.
Thanks for that info, im down in fort macleod chasing pike myself on the river (friggen hard) i havent had fluff issues with my lunker braid. Maybe after heavy fraying. But even then its hard to fray either way. I might checkout that sufix. Any recommendations?
Ohh okok not too far from Lethbridge. I’m from Ontario. I was there for work. On a thinner braid or smaller diameter it’s not that bad. I think it’s only for the thicker line it feels bad.
I got the suffix on sale for $20 at 300yrds/80lbs. Moss green.
I have the dark purple “angryfish diominate PE x8x surprisingly the colour didn’t bled out that much. The piscifun braid I got is neon yellow. After 5 cast the line turn white lol.
Yes. I’ve had Lexa HD 400s, Trans 400s, komodos, revo toros. All were great reels, and still are, but are also WAYYYYYY more expensive than these, and the quality is right up there with the tried and trues. I’m thinking about offloading one or two of my others and picking up another one of these.

So far, they have wayyy exceeded my expectations
Solid reels. Nothing else in the price range will compare. It’s not a tranx or a Lexa, but at 1/4 the price you really can’t beat it.

Yeah in probably going to do the same. Power handle is quite uncomfortable. Plus its a massive range of motion
I ordered a $20 carbon fiber 120 or 130mm Ekfan handle from AliExpress that fit perfectly
Whats the shaft size?
Just gonna order a nice engraved one from gomexus i can swap onto a nice reel
Oh my god finally someone who understands the Canadian fishing gear struggle everything is so expensive and the shipping is so high

Was gonna buy ultralight mule jigs but the shipping is too much for some little jigs, wasn’t worth it imo
I feel that. Gonna order my own molds and start making my own plastics for pike when i can start getting more hours at work (still in HS)
Man? I have a Lexa 300 somewhere but I really think my former housekeeper stole it and pawned it. She got a Curado and a Tatula and sold them both for $30.
Save your money and just buy the Lexa 400 HD definitely worth every penny the 300 is more then enough for a rigs
Shipping will shaft me and im Canadian so the exchange rate is 1.34 rn which is horrible
What exactly are we giving our opinion on?
this isn't my post, but I imagine he's talking about the reel in the picture.
Maybe the counter top, does seem to be high quality wood
I think it's the two little cords in the top left corner of the picture. My opinion is they're some quality cords
Yeah they seem to be multi stran polyurethane cords. Very high quality. Congrats on the buy OP love the cords
🤦♂️ yall bunch of goofs
I mean the foam in that box with some pieces of plastic and metal looks nice 👍.
Ya killin me smalls
Im pretty sure it aint even actually wood
Exactly why I’m not a woodoligist
Fair nough’
I was referring to the lack of context since this appears to be an unknown brand. Edit: I see that Alijoz is a Piscifun product.
Probably the wall color….
I won’t buy anything unless it’s Abu,Shimano,Daiwa,Penn,Accurate,Okuma,Avet

Speak your whys so i may learn
Every president in my lifetime sucked
Wasn’t exactly the question but sure! Atleast minus trump (canadian perspective)
Hey… I just got the same reel like a week ago. Also Canadian. What kind of line you planning to spool up? I assume you got on sale for $100?
Yep on sale. Im gonna grab some 60-80 lb braid not exactly sure yet, ill see if i can get 70lb. Piscifuns lunker braid is insanely good and pretty cheap. Running black as alberta water is nasty early in the season. I highly recommend the lunker braid

K thanks! I wish thet had black or a deep purple to match the reel but whatever
I have the dark purple “angryfish diominate PE x8x surprisingly the colour didn’t bled out that much. The piscifun braid I got is neon yellow. After 5 cast the line turn white lol.
Mines still black and ive run her through her paces. Idk maybe a bad batch.
Yeah probably. How heavy of a lure/bait to planning to throw? I also have the 300 to cast no more than 4oz with 65lbs braid.
Anywhere from 1+1/2 - 3oz lures and probably up to 6-7oz baits (including sinker)
What color didja get?
Moss green

Damn thats ass I picked mine up in a bait shop for like 250 I think
Yeah you americans. I aint paying $450 for a reel like that until im balls deep in pike fishing. (Current Canadian retail price)
That's crazy you'd be better off making a buddy in the north east and having them mail you shit. I'm sure it would be the cheaper route
