new skid plates for the yamaha Kodiak 700. Love the machine, but the under side has a lot to be desired for keeping the slush out. My Artic Cat needed a small piece of plexiglass in the front to stop crap from the plow and slush piling up. Had build up encasing the front dif. Looking to do the same for the Yamy once I know what I need

That Piscifun rod looks interesting.I agree. And the price is right to just give it a try
That’s what I thought. I think on the site it has a wheel that spins that takes another 50% off and great deals on buying more than one of them. I own way too many ice rods with spring bobbers, but it’s all I fish for panfish with.

I have had excellent luck with every one of the reels I have bought from them. I actually gave a black betty free fall to a buddy because the piscifun was night and day better. Smoother, quieter, stronger drag etc. No complaints on the reels. I have not bought a rod however.

I’ve had similar experience with their reels. Both the inline and Carbon X. I do not own any of their rods so I can’t speak to that.
James AlmquistPosts: 326November 21, 2024 at 2:32 pm #2300582I agree with both of you . Great reels and I bought them at the end of season 2 years ago for less then half of what they are going for now. Won’t use any other inline and some of mine were 3 times the cost.

That Piscifun rod looks interesting.Are the blanks you build on not manufactured in China? Same with half the over priced rod builds these days ? Generally curious ?

I agree! I bought 2 Pleugers, already had the Freefall, had the original piscifun inline and then got the 2 new ones that are the carbon version (has spool control where the first one didnt). After trying the piscifun carbons I returns BOTH of the Pfleugers and gave away the Freefall. Even the cheap inline is a nice little reel but it takes some practice because it doesnt have spool control and you can get a mess LOL. I sort of slow the spool with my fingers.
SlabaholicPosts: 14November 21, 2024 at 7:10 pm #2300624I have a 2000 and 3000 carbon X, they’re sinfully paired on some really nice custom rods I have lol. I’ve probably caught 100+ fish on both, the 2000 has a weird whine thing going on now, but the 3000 is so far bulletproof.
I agree with Bearcat89.. everything is made in China. Like legit every single reel under $300 is made in China.
CaptainMuskyPosts: 22716November 21, 2024 at 8:02 pm #2300633As crazy as this sounds…at least to me…my buddy insists that you take apart a new reel especially a new reel and you boil them in water. Dry out and put the hot sauce in it and button it up. I said he’s nuts but he was super happy to get the free fall I gave him because it was a noisy clunky pos when I tried it.
