Piscifun Viper X Spinning Fishing Reel - 5.2:1/6.2:1 High Speed Fishing Reel, 10+1BB, Lightweight Ultra Smooth Spin Reels, Carbon Fiber 33 LB Max Drag, Size 500-5000

A great value reel. Does the job. Clutch is nice and smooth when playing larger fish. I did get alot of wind knots in the braided line futher back on the spool when using lighter lures (below 1g).

A silky smooth reel i purchased the 1000 size for bfs fishing casts sub one gram lures with ease and for the price you simply cant go wrong the only negative is theirs no reverse as is the modern trend as an older angler (65) it takes some getting used to

Well made but found a couple of rough edges on the back. Haven't used yet hence 4 stars.

Really pleased with this viper x reel. Set up was very easy and the product has a great quality feel to it. No issues during the first few trips with it and looking forward to lots more to come

I picked up the 3000 model mainly for lure fishing, I really should of gone with a 4000 model but nearly a £20 difference in price, the bigger spool on the 4000 would if been the best option for me personally. The Reel does everything I ask of it, it's smooth with a nice even line lay, fast retrieve too, Still early days yet to give it a full review, Little disappointed in the small amount of sideways play on the spool, Shame the tolerances wasn't a bit tighter, then again for the price what can I say! It's a bargain.

Seems ok so far...I am hoping it lasts longer than the other one I got from Amazon

Tiny reel which is awesome have landed big river fish on it so far no problem

Im usually a mitchell user but wanting a 1000 size reel for dropshotting mitchell didn't really have anything in their range so after lots of searching I found this little viper x . I must say it's a superbly made reel thats nearly in par quality wise to Mitchell's pro series but for seriously less money . The 1000 size is perfect for light jig fishing and finesse work and I'm sure there's no better reel out there for less than twice it's price . I can't comment on longevity but there's utterly no reason to doubt it won't last for years going on the feel out the box etc. So all in all I'd highly recommend the viper x if your on the market for a serious dropshotting finesse reel but don't want to go down the baitcaster route .
