Gotta love it when "reviews" really are! Most are simply unboxing and commentary bu this was very informative. Size and price point comparison is as close to perfect as "close to perfect" gets. Beyond the review, this is (by Catfish Dave's definition) a fishing video as fishing was filmed and good fish were caught. Not in the market for a reel of this size but I do have an interest in the KastKing 90. Beats anything on TV and thanks!

Thanks for the comment 👍. If I do a review on a reel I feel like it’s a must to show it being used and catching fish to see how it performs; not just saying it’s a great reel but showing the person interested in the product that it does perform. I’m still using both reels and both are still going strong.

Great review, pretty cool checking out how they are constructed! Some nice reds too!

Thanks. I was surprised Piscifun went with those plastic gears.

I'd go with Kast King in this duel just because of the gears. Our machines at work however have that nylon type of gears and some are 20 years old with no issues. When needing a big conventional reel I stick with my Daiwa millionaire. Never a problem. Tight lines!

If you're gonna use braid I'd go with the chaos because of the 6 weights in the centrifugal brake. 2 weights is ok when you're using mono.

The Chaos 50 spool is a copy of Akios and Abu anti distortion spools designed to improve casting.

They are a type of nylon or some other type and all it does it run the level wind they will hold up fine. They use this same type of gear in many car engines and small lathes.

Great review! I was always a little leery on the Piscifun products but they seem to be making some headway amongst new fisherman that can’t afford to spend hundreds on gear. I decided to go with the KastKing Rover 40. They offered a 15% coupon on Amazon for the Rover 40 black which brought the price down to $38. Couldn’t pass on that deal. Btw, What is the gray sliding ruler you used on you kayak? I’ve searched online and can’t find it anywhere.

Those gears are not the actual reels gears per say. Thary are just the level wind cogs. ABU uses those nylon cogs as well, over time they remain smoother whereas the brass ones on the Rover and also the Ming Yangs have become a little noisy. Does not effect the reel at all but you will find those nylon cogs in the Piscifun will be just fine and remain quiet and smooth. Cheers.

It would not engage after casting. I finally got it to engage but it was raining that day very hard as I remember because I was in the kayak. I kept turning the handle and it just would not engage. Piscifun has released a newer model of the chaos but I have not used that one.

Go to Walmart online Type in Shakespeare Tiger Spincast Rod and Reel Combo - 6'6", 2-piece $19.44 for the combo. Remove the reel and add yours Done 👍🎣

These decent Abu clones prove the Akios, Omoto, and Abu reels are a tad overpriced.

The Piscifun Chaos XS 50 is one of the best reels I have ever had the pleasure to own. It is the smoothest reel I have ever seen. I have some Abu Garcia Ambassadeurs but this reel beats them hands down. The plastic gear for the level wind is a safty feature that is for incase you get your finger caught inbetween the reel body and the level wind. It is desighned to strip the gear and not crush your finger. Which is more important? Your finger or the reel? The kastking is a much more dangerous reel. I have both but the Piscifun Chos XS 50 out performs the Kastking.

Hello I don't mean to be rude but I must point out a few errors in your video. The KK does in fact have a friction braking system, you were pointing right at it as you were telling us there was none. It can take a max of two blocks. Has one on it in the video. Also the KK has two less bearings in it than stated. There are none in the spool anymore as the spool and spinal are fixed. I think they used to have a floating spool in the first ones.

I'm still using my Quantum Iron IR3L,IR3WL,Shimano Citica 201,Quantum 1311MG,Diawa Triforce-X 151i,Shimano Syncopate 4000,and I forget what else I have atm since I bought them all back around the1990 time frame.I do think the IR3's were made around '96.They all have fished Striper,Carp,Bass,Cats,etc and all are like timex's.For the day the Citica was on the salty side,something like $120 back then.That was most expensive one and is still my favorite baitcaster even though I have bought a few newer ones. When I pulled the 1st KK out of the box (rover 40) I could feel the cheapness of it.Wasn't long till it proved me right.Then figured I just give the others a try (BC and Spinners),if it was good I'd keep it,if not I could always send it back to Amazon...and did.They were all cheap,even the spinner compared to the $29 Shimano Syncopate 4000 (btw,all 3,the 1000,2500,4000 are $29ea.).It was more than $29 back when I bought it but hey,it's still ripping in fish with not one hiccup the entire time.I actually just bought 2 more of them (1000 size) to put on my UL's for Cat bait.For $60 I bought a Daiwa Emcast 4500 BR for my new Cat reel as it has the bait alarm.It's 10x the reel those offbrand ones want to be. No problem on the use of the bait alarm,I just couldn't let someone not get the proper use of it,even though it's a junk reel.I even disliked the loudness of the KK's BA and it was a lil to stiff for my liking.I was going to order new ceramic bearings for it and see what I could do about the stiffness of the BA but I figured why not just spend a lil more for a good reel instead of slapping band aid on a turd.So I bought 2 Shimano Cardiff 401A for my cat rods.
