The lineup on one page
On 30 October 2026, Piscifun's spinning reel collection listed nine series. [1] The table below gives the lowest and highest reel-only price we saw for each, the weight Piscifun states and the size it applies to, the drag claim, and the bearing and sealing wording. Prices are the store's listed prices on that date, not checkout quotes; several were shown against a higher struck price, which we treat as marketing rather than evidence of value.
Where a cell says not stated, the product description we read did not give that figure. Do not fill the gap with a figure from another series.
| Series | Sizes listed | Listed reel price, 30 Oct 2026 | Stated weight | Stated max drag | Bearings and sealing wording |

| AlumiX | 1000 to 3000 | $59.99 to $79.99 | 6.1 oz (1000) | 11 lb (1000); 26 lb (2000, 3000) | 10+1 shielded; aluminum body [7] |

| NautiX | 3000 to 6000 | $94.99 to $109.99 | Not stated | 26 lb (3000, 4000); 33 lb (5000, 6000) | 8+1 double shielded; IPX5; designed for saltwater [10] |
Freshwater and light-line series
Five series are carbon or graphite reels aimed at light freshwater use: Viper X, Carbon X, Carbon XT, Carbon X II and Carbon Prism. Piscifun describes the Carbon XT as the lightest carbon-bodied reel in its Carbon series and names largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, walleye and trout as target species, [4] yet its description does not give a weight figure. The Carbon X's 5.1 oz claim does not name a size, [2] while the Carbon X II gives 5.5 oz for the 1000 [3] and the Carbon Prism gives 7.2 oz for its only size, the 2000. [6] Those numbers are not like-for-like; compare the same size before reading anything into them.
Two details matter more than the headline weight. Piscifun states there is no anti-reverse switch on the 500 and 1000 Carbon X and Viper X, [2] [8] and none on the 1000 Carbon X II. [3] If you back-reel instead of using drag, rule those sizes out. Second, gear ratio: the Carbon XT is listed at 5.2:1 only, [4] the Carbon Prism at 6.2:1 only, [6] while the Carbon X, Carbon X II and Viper X are described with both 5.2:1 and 6.2:1 depending on the model. [2] [3] [8] Confirm the ratio on the exact variant before ordering.
Metal-bodied and saltwater-leaning series
The AlumiX, Alloy S and NautiX use aluminum bodies. AlumiX is marketed as a freshwater reel with a full metal body and gives 6.1 oz for the 1000. [7] The Alloy S is titled an inshore reel for saltwater and freshwater, with 8+1 sealed stainless bearings and an IPX5 water-resistance claim. [9] The NautiX is the only series Piscifun describes as designed specifically for saltwater, citing an IPX5 rating, an aluminum dust cover and four rubber rings. [10]
An IPX rating on a product page is the seller's claim; we have not seen a test report and have not tested any of these reels. For saltwater, the useful question is what the warranty excludes and how you will rinse the reel after each trip, which our care guide covers.
Decision table by budget and species
This is our reading of the listed specifications, not a performance ranking. Each row names the cheapest series that plausibly covers the job and when to spend more.
| Your situation | Start with | Consider paying more for | Skip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panfish, trout, under $45 | Viper X 1000 or 2000 ($39.99 to $42.99 listed) | Carbon XT if you want sealed bearings in the description | Viper X 500 or 1000 if you need an anti-reverse switch |
| Bass on light line, $55 to $70 | Carbon XT 2000 or Carbon X 2000 ($59.99 listed each) | Carbon X II if a stated 5.5 oz 1000 matters | Carbon Prism if you need any size other than 2000 |
| Want a metal body for freshwater | AlumiX 2000 ($69.99 listed, black) | Alloy S if you also fish inshore | AlumiX 3000 and purple variants, shown as unavailable on 30 Oct 2026 |
| Inshore or saltwater | NautiX 3000 or 4000 | NautiX 5000 or 6000 for the stated 33 lb drag | Carbon series: none is described as saltwater-specific |
| Want the newest flagship | Carbon X3 2000 | Only if IPX6 or 30 lb drag changes your purchase | If a Carbon X already does the job |
Where the Carbon X is and is not the right pick
The original Carbon X still spans the widest size range among the carbon models, from 500 to 4000, and was listed between $57.99 and $79.99. [2] That makes it the natural Piscifun choice for a 4000-size light reel, because the Carbon X II, Carbon XT and Carbon X3 stop at 3000. [3] [4] [5] It is a weaker choice if you need back-reeling in a 500 or 1000, or if you specifically want sealed bearings: Piscifun describes the Carbon X bearings as shielded, [2] while the Carbon X II and Carbon XT descriptions say double sealed. [3] [4]
We have already covered the Carbon X in depth in our research review and against the Sharky III; read those rather than relying on this summary.
Checklist before ordering any Piscifun spinning reel
- Confirm the size, gear ratio and handle type in the variant selector; several series bundle different ratios under one listing.
- Check whether the variant shows as available. On 30 October 2026 some AlumiX, Viper X, NautiX, Carbon X II and Carbon Prism variants were listed as unavailable, including every AlumiX 3000 and purple AlumiX. [1]
- Look for an anti-reverse switch if you back-reel; Piscifun says the smallest Carbon X, Carbon X II and Viper X sizes lack one.
- Treat the struck-through price as marketing; compare the price you will actually pay with the alternatives.
- Note whether the listing is reel only or a combo; the Carbon X3 listing includes rod combos at $289.99 to $314.99. [5]
Questions before you decide
Which Piscifun spinning reel is built for saltwater?
On 30 October 2026, Piscifun described the NautiX as designed specifically for saltwater fishing, with an IPX5 rating and an aluminum body. The Alloy S is titled for saltwater and freshwater. The carbon series descriptions we read did not describe them as saltwater reels.
What is the cheapest Piscifun spinning reel?
The Viper X 500 was listed at $36.99 on 30 October 2026, the lowest reel-only price in the spinning collection. Piscifun states the 500 and 1000 sizes have no anti-reverse switch.
Is the Carbon X3 lighter than the Carbon X?
Piscifun gives 5.6 oz for the Carbon X3 2000 and 5.1 oz for the Carbon X without naming the size. The figures are not directly comparable until both are stated for the same size.
