I own a carbon x 2000, 4000 and two Alijos baitcasters. They're all smooth,  solid built with huge amounts of drag all at a great price point.  Having said that,  Daiwa is also making some of the best reels on the market.  If you're looking for a spinning reel I suggest the carbon x 2000. I know for a fact it'll enjoyable handle 20# kings and 30# black drum in Florida. It's also caught many crappie and bass. Just an all around nice reel that can do most everything,  most guys ask it to.

Does any retail store / chain store carry these?

Someone gave me a Viper 1000,they claimed it was fubar.Anti-reverse didn't work properly and was sticking.I took it apart and cleaned out the old grease.Whoever lubed it during assembly really overdid it.Grease got into the roller clutch.

Not a bad reel for the price,the quality of the"guts"was on par with reels that cost more.In all respects,a throwaway reel if something major breaks on it.Parts may be fun to find?

I have a carbon X 2000, and 2 honor XT 2000's.  

I actually like the Honor XT better than the carbon X.

I have 2 of the carbon x and they are a very nice reel. They are a very smooth reel and cast great. Have those on my walleye rods. Also have 2 Honor XT on crappie rods. I have pflueger supreme xt;s and can't tell much of a difference

I really like my carbon 1000 spinning reel . I have about 20 hrs on it.  If I could locate a #2000 model I would purchase it.    CARPIO

I use their UL spinning reels for ice fishing and have purchased a couple of the baitcasters for pulling bottom bouncers. Good luck at a great price so far.

I bought one on Amazon ( 1000 ).   It’s a very nice reel but its more for ice fishing due to the size. All carbon so it should be warmer to hold than metal handled reels. Amazon doesn’t have the 2000 model.    CARPIO

I need a new ultra lite reel so I thought I would take a ride to cabalas since I got a gift card for dads day. To my suprise not much there also. Made a stop at the new fleet farm in west bend before hand to check them out and it was the same. My home fleet farm in plymouth also with bare shelfs as far as fishing reels go. I asked the guy at Cabalas whats going on and he said that nothing is comeing out of china.Fleet farm in west bend did have one that I liked and I should have bought it. I cant remember what kind it was though lol. getting old sucks lol. now I got to pee.

The reels are pretty good for the price.

The new baitcaster they just released called the Spark is really good for Chinesium :-)

Fleet Farm doesn't carry Piscifun. In fact FF doesn't carry anything!  The shelves are friggin empty! I'm so done with them. The private equity gruop that bought them from the family is ruining a great WI brand because they are more concerned with increasing inventory turns. SAD.

After this happened several times on Bago while dead sticking it accidentally became a part of the lakes structure.  CARPIO
