Proving inexpensive fishing reels can be REALLY GOOD! PISCIFUN CARBON X II 2000 REVIEW
Today we review the Piscifun Carbon X II2000 fishing reel to try and answer the question: Are inexpensive fishing reels any good? I got to fish a little bit with the Piscifun Carbon X II 2000 but wanted to do a deep dive into this inexpensive fishing reel to see if it's specs on the website held up to the claim. I can confidently say this inexpensive fishing reel is incredibly lightweight, has huge drag and is extremely smooth. The best thing is this is you can get this reel for under $100!

Is your Yamaha outboard leaking oil? WATCH THIS!

My Yamaha outboard was leaking oil and I had no idea where from. I tightened a screw and thought the oil would stop leaking from the outboard but still had a leak. Little did I know the Yamaha outboard has a lower unit oil drain at the very bottom of the motor I wasn't aware was there. Once I tightened this up the oil was no longer leaking! I recommend topping off your oil if you find it leakin...

I went to Steinhatchee in search of some winter Redfish. Normally this time of year the Redfish are pushed back into the creeks in search of warmer water. I got a new lure from my buddy @AndreasChristouSaltwater who hand pours lures and this one mimics the Redfish's natural forage of a Mud Minnow perfectly! Not only that, it changes colors which is pretty cool! Be sure to check him and his chan...

Something was STILL HOOKED on this bobber...(Steinhatchee fishing)
มุมมอง 26811 หลายเดือนก่อน
I went fishing for the first time with @AndreasChristouSaltwater in Steinhatchee. The plan was to fish the flats in hopes of getting some nice inshore fish. We caught some Trout, Redfish and as we got into the back of a creek noticed a popping cork with a fish attached. We ended up snagging the popping cork and hooked into a mystery fish!

Great video! I'd like to point out you misspoke at 3:05... "Wasted a whole day of fishing"? There's no such thing lol.
@@hudsonpearcy7648 hahaha touche!!!
If you fish nice weather these reels are great. If your rough with your gear, forget it. Spend twice the price and it will last 10 times longer.
@@holdenpanelvanman I plan on putting that to the test!
I life in Germany.🇩🇪 I Go Fishing sehr there. If if you compare this reel with other competitor you have to pay between 250 to 350 Euros 💶 or USD. The reels are manufactured in China or Malaysia. It makes no sense to pay more.
@_Unschuld_vom_Land They're one of the least expensive reels over here. Definitely need to test out the durability!
Great reels. I had a 35 minute fight with a 5 foot plus stergon, over 50 lbs easy. Used Good 7 foot med rod, 20 lb power pro, CarbonX 2000, in my boat. Was Jigging for walleye. Lol. Fight of a life on that setup, but that reel made it happen.
@@Humborg1 That's awesome! Pretty decent performance for how inexpensive it is!
In my experience. Pretty good out of the box. Just didn’t last like my Shimano and Daiwa reels. Weird little issues the more I used it. Not really worth the money in my experience.

how far is your bow to waterline? i seen you had to drop your rhodan 84" all the way down in smaller 2 ft seas to prevent cavitation
I'm not entirely sure man I'm sorry. Given the industry now, we'd most likely get a 96"shaft of whatever we ended up getting.

Can you put the a new washer and Teflon oil tape as well?
@@cowboysnation1594 new washer yes, no need for Teflon tape.
What’s your mic setup?
@@pasolesoup7430 I was using the GoPro audio dongle and a $20 Lav mic back when this video was shot, but now a days I'm using the DJI Mic 2. Unfortunately there aren't a ton of good, inexpensive options for the GoPro's because they make you either buy an expensive media mod or audio dongle just to allow a mic to be used. I'm going to be doing a video soon on my updated setup because technology has changed quite a bit since I put this video out.
I’m in steinhatchee for first time, was wondering if you could help me with a good area to start catching for reds north or south tried around pine log island south and north rock point. Little success on incoming then nothing on outgoing. And so much traffic made drifting for trout impossible. Do I need to try going way north or way south for better luck you think?
Honestly this time of the year sucks because of the scalloping. Fishing outgoing in the early morning or evening is going to be your best bet because once the incoming starts it gets so grassy anywhere you can't hardly fish. I'd try Tater Island and South or if you decide to go north, dallus Creek and past that.
Appreciate it, definitely good idea on the outgoing grass was terrible! I’ll try those areas if I go back. Near the scallopers was just crazy
@@capt.justinwhaley-jwfishin6896 Tight lines man! Thankfully scallop season is over!
What about the memory
@@Shihabdeenrecreationalcyclist very good point, but we usually don't have rigs on long enough for that to be an issue. Before a big trip we spend an hour tying up all the rigs so they're ready for the next day then when we're on the boat eventually we'll get broke off and start pulling them from the rig to.
Skip to around 4 minutes if you value your time.
@@charliebible440 thank you for the suggestion!
I've used it quite a bit for video and its not bad. The stabilization is great. Sadly the 1st gen of this camera isn't great for stills. The near focus is really bad making it tough for even doing the holding the fish out in front of you shot, and the underwater release shot is hit or miss as well in my experience.
I can agree with you on that. This video is pretty old at this point as we're on the 4th iteration of the Osmo Action but the main points still are true. I'll be doing an updated video soon.
I am thankful for your video. I watched vids from FWC, not anywhere near as informative as this. Thanks from a newbie
Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to leave the comment! I hope you have a great time out there Scalloping!
Are the bow storage compartments insulated to be used as fish boxes as well?
I don't believe they are. The one thing about this boat is the storage is very limited. I think our dealer marketed the front boxes as fish boxes but it's not very practical to use them as such. We use the box in the middle transom as our fish box and it's worked pretty well.
Your grouper looks delicious. Thanks!😊💜
Enjoy!
With a 20000 power bank i dont need a battery. I have the anker 20000 but the issue im having is connection issues at the power bank. I keep it in my back pcket while fishing but if i forget to take it out and sit down with still in my pocket i start running into connection issues. Any way you can help me. I use the stunt man shoulder mount and dont wanna zip tie my powrr bank to it. Especially when i do fish in the rain or snow.
Is there a reason you don't want to zip tie your power bank to it? From the mount stand point it seems like you could either put it on your back straps or even your stomach straps.
@@NickeeGee I have a long enough cord obviously for it to be in my back pocket. I could zip tie it to my belt I guess.
@@BassmasterTL Ah I see. I try to make everything as compact and easy to access as possible. That way I can just grab my mount and not have to worry about anything else.
Should you also remove the GoPro battery when you have it plugged into the power bank?
I used to leave the battery in, but it doesn't matter.
Can you anchor in the seagrass?
@@tw11187 yes you can!
What rod would you recommend for gag grouper offshore in the gulf? Link says penn carnage but doesnt say which one. Doing a hubbards 12 hr trip early September. I have a Shimano Torium 16PG 33#s of drag, 50# braid with 20' of 80# topshot leader connected with a FG knot, would this be okay to use?
@@tylerpepe8226 The link may be expired I apologize! I would recommend a 6'6"-7' boat rod rated for that size braid. Shimano makes some really nice rods, Penn carnage or even Star Rods are nice. Your braid and leader combo are perfect for that! amzn.to/3VYS0S1 is an updated link for Penn Carnage
Does it overheat and stops recording?
@@tigergray1100 it wouldn't overheat by plugging it in, only if the GoPro would overheat normally
Great episode. Brudda Thank you fro sharing
Glad I could help!
I see one issue. When I start record on my go pro with additional power bank if there is battery on go pro, camera is charging from power bank but working on factory battery. It's different when I switch on go pro, add cable from power bank and remove battery. Then camera work on my power bank only. In first scenario it happen that my battery died even when she was charged by power bank and I lost precious record.
I am sorry that happened. Which GoPro are you using?
Thank you! Your solid
Thank you Billy!
Great information for Steinhatchee!
Thank you! Hopefully you can get out and have some fun!
Are you filming with the dji?
Yes I am! What are your thoughts?
@@NickeeGee I like it looks great man think I’m gonna go with it over the GoPro been using a sony ev 10 with sigma 16mm for my content but with me doing a lot more fishin I think that dji is right up my alley
@@Joshkaay If you can afford it, the new Osmo Action 4 has the ability to connect wirelessly to the DJI Mic 2, and also a pre record option which is great for fishing!
@@NickeeGee heck yeh thanks man I’m down in Florida if your ever near Panama City beach gimmie a holler we can do some fishin 🙌🏽💯
@@Joshkaay I sure will dude I'm actually in Gainesville and one of my good friends is in Tallahassee so I'm going to be trying some fishing up your way more often very soon!
I love your videos....Thank you for all that you do for the fishing community. Just wanted to add something I've noticed when I'm fishing..Fish are kinda dumb... I've found they don't really care about what's looks natural, they kinda just bite at what's moving. They get spooked, yes, that is true. My dad's friend, who had major fishing lure sponsors, tied on a paper matchbook on his line and told my dad, "watch this" had a strike on it from a monster bass... The guy told my dad...."When they're hungry, they bite everything". Just saying, if they can see it, they'll probably try to eat it....
Thank you for this comment! It's funny you say that because recently I've come to a similar conclusion...some fish are smarter than others but ultimately they're all kind of dumb haha. I think the fishing industry tries to complicate things and market the next best thing for sales but when it comes down to it, finding the fish is the most important thing and if they are hungry they're going to most likely eat what you throw in front of them.
Im not sure about the last part. Is hindsight a different thing than looping? If I would have a bite, fight it, net it, release it and then press the button and have the last 5 minutes saved, that should be possible with the action 3 right? Or are you talking about something different?
Hindsight and looping are similar but do have two distinct differences. With looping, you only record the previous amount of looped video in whatever interval you set. With the Action 3, they have 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 20 minutes. The annoying part is if you have a fight that's more than 5 minutes, or any sort of action lasting more than the set interval then some of your footage could be lost. To combat that, you could set a higher interval of 10 or 20 minutes, however if you have no action at all, you've just saved a 10 or 20 minute useless video to your SD card which takes up storage space and that's more footage to sift through. With hindsight, whenever you press record, it will start saving the previous 30 seconds plus all future footage to your camera. So whenever I would hook a fish, I press record. It captures everything that happens 30 seconds in the past which typically would include the cast and the hookset plus the entirety of the fight or until I press record again. If the fight only lasts 2 minutes, I save only two minutes of video to my SD card and I KNOW there is some action on that clip. If the fight lasts more than 5 minutes, it'll still save that entire fight so whereas the loop would cut off at 5 minutes the hindsight would continue recording until you hit record again. I know that was a very longwinded explanation but it can be confusing. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any more questions!
@@NickeeGee ok, so its nice to have but not necessary. Looping is good enough for me. Thanks for the explanation.

How would this method work with big game leaders like 300 pound mono
Should be the same, they will fit on there.
Looked like a pretty smooth ride to me with no pounding.
It is one of the smoothest riding boats out there ! We have never felt unsafe in any seas in it !
I know this is an old video hopefully I get a response. If I turn slow the motor won’t move. As soon as I put some speed in turning it starts to turn. I’m hoping bleeding will help. Any suggestions? It’s only when turning starboard side btw
I think bleeding will definitely help. There's a chance either there's air in the starboard hose or perhaps something with the cylinder

Have fun!!!

What package would you get with it the 3? Would you get the fishing? Adventure ? I’ll record on my kayak some and some on my chest
I'm not familiar with the fishing combo, is that new ? I bought the action 3 adventure combo and I actually love the battery case and the selfie stick is pretty quality. IF you can afford the newer action 4, I'd highly recommend it because they have a pre record option which is fantastic especially for fishing. If you can't afford the 4 and want the 3 I actually am selling mine to upgrade to the 4, I'd give you a really good deal on it if you're interested!
@@NickeeGeestill got it?👀
@@davidmolina7509 I don't man sorry, ended up selling it recently and got the Osmo action 4!
Just installed a 7" model and with no instructions just like this guy found. RED was plus and Black was negative. Had to solder fuse link into red. The other bolts and screws are for the transducer. I guess that 3 hrs of shop time would be required. If you are familiar with boat.....and fast 2 hours shop time is all it would take. Can't wait to give it a try!
