Thanks to your videos tutorials my friend and I just ordered 2 kraken piscifun

[fishinmissionii]

Awesome video I have a banax 7000 cp but I will probably invest in one of those kracken soon as they come in

[ragnarragnarsson]

Great stuff as usual Scott! Have you ever deep drop fished with a non-electric reel, and if so what was it? I got an old Penn 49L recently that is supposedly popular with west cost deep water jig fishermen. I think it brings in 3ft of line per turn.

[mooseman]

Have you gotten atleast an 8ft reef shark with the Kraken? If yes, how did it held up? By the way, nice review👍👍

[Goosedoublelime]

What is the best rod for the Pici reel? I'd like to buy my buddy a set of reels and rods.

[AnglerNoypi]

what's your set up on the piscifun. what is the max line we can put in? we are planning to drone drop bait on surf surfing. danacom 1200 is just too expensive for surf fishing hobby,

[ryanhencke]

@scottnra what 10000mah battery were you using on the piscifun in this video? Thanks in advance

[williambradshaw]

Piscifun is basically a throw away reel, there are no cleaning or service centers, after the warranty which i don't know were you send it China or Japan and loose it for a season.

[curtisjeffries]

How does it shape up against the Seaborg 500?

[chazmtb]

Nice review. What’s the Rod you’re using on the kraken? Just got mine in and trying to figure what to use.

[nicolassanchez]

Can you tell me or send a like for the battery pack for the tanacom 1200 ? Tks

[stansvrlinga]

What rod, length, and power would you recommend for the Tanacom 1200?

[TrentonKnepp]

I have 4 tanacom 750s, 2 tanacom 1000s and 1 tanacom 1200. The 750 and 1000s have done me well, however I am beyond disappointed in the 1200. The spool has so much enertia from the big size it back lashes every single time no matter how you adjust it. That and the counter keeps breaking. When that happens the reel won't reel. Looking into the diawa mj a d shimano beastmaster at the moment.

[alexandruraresdatcu]

Maybe you should have compared it to a Daiwa Tanacom 800 or a 500 and it seems to be more noisy.

[LighthouseMarineTech]

QUESTION: you have had them for a few months.. how have they been working out? Can the line counter be switched to Feet? Why does it not pick up the last 10' of line?
Thanks.. Drew

[elijahbl]

A real comparison would be the piscifun and a tanacom 750

[stevetaylorwildgameoutdoor]

To add to the 1/2 the cost and weight, the Diawa customer service completely sucks.

[BReal]

I drone fish. I wouldn't use an electric reel to reel in the fish. Seems to take the joy out of fishing. Since I fly the drone out 300 yards I would use the electric reel when I need to reel in to change bait.

[cornelmihalca]

you should compare reels that are equal as size .

[GPopeSinghTriniCharters]

Thanks for the reviews. I have owned small an large electrics for many years. A better comparison would have been one of the smaller Daiwas available in the U.S . One day's work on a brand new cheap reel is all well and good, BUT, the day something around 25lbs eats the hook that little reel is going to overheat.
There is no clutch disegage while a fish is pulling drag so the motor fights all the time.
As a budget reel, I wouldn't waste my money. Shimano and Daiwa have budget sizes like the Shimano Plemio that's about $250.usd on amazon or the Shimano Plays series that are all under $500. Save a little longer and buy something from a company that is reliable and and has real specsthat match the product.
I have brought in 200lb grouper with the Tanacom 1000 from 500 feet so I expect nothing less from 1200. I would not buy that reel even if I was a recreational a angler. Jhonny Jigs has a nice assortment of the smaller daiwa electrics. I have owned the banax 7000cp small budget reel and it's junk. Burned out in 6 months with moderate use. This is just a suggestion from someone who went the budget route and got burned literally😂😂. Stick to the brands because they got it right. The Tanacom 1200 will literally last your entire life especially recreational anglers. Tight lines my friends🚤🌊🐟💯
