Keep up the great fishing videos! We've got your back and keep them coming. I've been fishing for a long time and never tried the Viper X. It looks like a good little reel.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Thank you so much Wade for the kind words! It means a lot to me. Will keep them coming! Yes I think it's got great specs and feels for a budget friendly ultralight reel, which is hard to find one the market. Good luck Wade.

Nice review on the ViperX. Sounds like a good reel for the price.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Thanks Nickao! One of the best bang for the buck.

[@marka2976]

I have a couple of the viper x reels paired with the piscifun serpent spinning rods. I have been crushing the small mouth here in Kentucky this spring. I even caught a possible state record chub on one. I have noticed the noise you described as well, but will wait until the winter to tear it apart. Thanks for the review.

[@TTangOutdoors]

I've never caught a smallmouth but I know you need a good drag to play them right as they go acrobatic haha. I took off the spool and the noise went away. I think their overall assembly needs to be tighter and that's what separate an average reel to a high end refined reel. Thanks for the comment Mark! You are entered in the giveaway.

[@guillaumebarnabe998]

Great review, that is a great value reel ! Count me in for the giveaway, I would love to have a ViperX or Viper X ! Cheers

I'd love to catch some snakehead and catfish in your region! I believe you can buy piscifun from Aliexpress for about the same price. Gotta love the black and green combo! Thanks for the comment.

[@TTangOutdoors]

[@TTangOutdoors]

[@michaeltaylor7194]

I have the 3000 and absolutely love it, I have it on a matching rod known as the “serpent” with same color hues

[@TTangOutdoors]

Oh yeah they match nicely! Such a good really for so cheap...

[@coryjordan863]

I have the same setup, I run 10lb 8 strand power pro super slick V2 in the bright green! It looks gorgeous! I've caught some decent fish on the combo! I use that set-up as my car rod/travel rod. It's the best budget set up imo

[@walleyperch]

Viper X, looks like an awesome reel. I bought one of their reels a few years ago and it’s still working fine. Keep up the great fishing videos. Thanks…

[@TTangOutdoors]

Glad to know they can last a few years! Thanks for the comment LF again. Will make more as the open water season is starting very soon in 2 days!!

[@davidarwood6264]

I didn't know Diawa had 500 and 1000 size reels with "22 lbs. drag" . Really for that matter on much of anything.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Daiwa doesn't have reels in 500 and 1000 size with 22lbs drag... I don't think Daiwa makes 500 size at all.

[@SenseiDecay]

Love your vids man, Would be cool to win the Viper X or ViperX not sure which to type here =P

VIPER X Would be nice

[@TTangOutdoors]

Yes!

[@TheMattiger]

Hi Tom, I just bought the 500 before realising how much spool size might affect casting ultra light lures. I have an ultra light setup already this reel is to match a xul/syper ul rod. The rod is for 0.3 to 0.8g lures so it will be very light for small creeks, lrf and rock pools. I am deciding whether to send the 500 back to swap for a 1000. The specs say changing to a 1000 gets me 2 inches per wind so is there actually a big difference between spool sizes? I think with the lures i am going to use i might benefit from a slow retrieve. Any thoughts would be great.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Hey, you are casting some nymph fly light level light lures haha. What kind of line and diameter are you casting? Are you trying to cast a decent distance? I would always go for a bigger spool diameter just for ease of casting. By the way, inches per turn doesn't depend on spool diameter but rather rotar diameter. In most cases bigger spool usually sits on a bigger rotar. I think 2 inches per turn of a difference is insignificant but a bigger spool will give you noticeable casting differences.

[@kurkiq6528]

ViperX very cool giveaway

[@andrewhondo]

have you tried the flame version of this real i had it for 4 years its still working good for a 15 dollar reel its not a ice fishing reel i use mine for trout crappie and blue gill fishing on a lite rod

[@TTangOutdoors]

I have not tried the flame but I know it's the one level down from the Viper X. Even more budget friendly! I heard the drag is just as good and that's all we need in ice fishing. Flame is not another version of the Viper X it's a different reel with a different body with less metal material. Great for ice fishing!

[@DavidStanleymusic]

its a good reel so far

[@TTangOutdoors]

Nice! I just used it for ice fishing today. Drag still smooth!

[@DavidStanleymusic]

@@TTangOutdoors i have the 5000 model on a 12 foot surf rod

[@TTangOutdoors]

@@DavidStanleymusic good to hear! what kind of fish do you catch with a surf rod? and if it's big fish have you felt any reel stem flex? since it's a graphite composite body material.

[@TVslee]

So are the reel foot lengths different as well (ie, does the 1000 have a slightly longer reel foot than the 500), or do they happen to be the same?

[@TTangOutdoors]

It's a bit longer

[@yunqiuliu6241]

I came for ViperX 😊

[@TTangOutdoors]

Very direct😂 love it

Do you have any of the Piscifun Baitcaster reels? I was thinking of trying a few of them. Keep up with the content man 👍🏼. ViperX

[@TTangOutdoors]

Nope I have not tried their baitcasters but I've heard great things about the Piscifun Alijoz. Thanks for the comment DB!!

[@YoonFishing]

I love their baitcaster a. Affordable and really nice for the price point. Something you don’t have to worry about fishing it hard but will hold up and smooth!! I own three piscifun baitcasters and they pretty much match up to quantum’s and abu Garcia products in quality!!
