When selecting your fishing gear, it can be tough to find the right balance between price and power. It’s very easy for things to spiral out of control as soon as you start looking towards higher end equipment, and if you’re like me, your budget doesn’t always allow you to splurge on super high-end equipment.
That’s why I was so intrigued by this reel when I first saw other Piscifun Phantom reviews. A reel that promises lots of high-end features in an ultra-budget package – is it too good to be true?
I got to try this reel out on the water and I have some thoughts about it. Let’s just say this reel gives you quite a lot, so let’s take a closer look.
