Piscifun Torrent II Baitcasting Fishing Reel, 20LB Carbon Fiber Drag Baitcasters, 6.6:1/8.1:1 Gear Ratio & Magnet Braking System Low Profile Casting Reel, Left/Right Handed

Hands down one of the best reels for the price, I have two torrent IIs and both have been smooth and reliable from the start. For the price you really cannot beat it especially if you manage to buy them during a sale. Great overall baitcaster!

Received wed out on the water thursday. Best baitcaster I have used to date. Thing helped me haul in 17 pink salmon and 1 healthy coho. Released the 13 and kept the rest including my coho. Smooth like butter when paired with a silky 8 braid. None of the fish battled never touhed my drag.

Stupid cheap, yet stupid good quality. From weightless trickworms to monster buzz baits, it'll cast it. Not sure about a 4ft 10lb swim bait, but it's not exactly designed for them anyway. The only reason for 4 stars is the 20lb drag ratting is exaggerated because it slips popping a 3/8oz jig off the bottom if you jerk hard enough, even with the drag locked down. Plenty enough to not worry about a big bass, and it seems smooth too, but 20lbs is definitely a bit more than it really has.

Love these Piscifun reels!! They don’t break the bank and a great reel for the price! I have several different ones, 5 I think of the bait casters and 3 of the Piscifun spinning reels. They have never let me down. I use the spinning reels for walking the creeks smallmouth fishing. & I use the bait casters on the boat lake fishing for largemouth. I prefer these over any Bass Pro/fancy $100+ reel. If you’re questioning it, just buy it and try it. You’ll be back to buy another! Piscifun all the way! ;)

Good value, quality built. Perfect for those who appreciate good gear but don't want to get a mortgage to buy high end.

I bought a second one of these reels during the black Friday sale after being impressed by the one I bought in early October. I have a couple of the original Torrents that have performed well for several seasons, but these new ones are lighter and smoother running, and cast further. I'm pretty amazed that they can sell a reel this nice for this price. Hoping they hold up as well as the original Torrents.

Reels great and cast great

Update, company reached out and made things right. It works great, very smooth. I'll be buying more from them Haven't used it yet but 1st thing I had to do was tighten handle nut down( handle could be rocked back and forth way to much. Bearing tension knob was about to fall off also. Very cheaply put together. Have not used it yet but we will see tomorrow.
