Comparing Kastking or Piscifun to all cheap reels just because of a low price is like comparing the quality of all high dollar reels because of the high cost; you just can't do it. I have never owned a Piscifun but they have great reviews by real world users but I do however own 4 Kastking "3 Spinning reels & 1 Baitcaster" and I can attest to the FACT that these are among some of the best reels I have ever used. I am a country boy from way back and I do more bank fishing than boat fishing so my reels are subject to sand, mud, rocks, " which can be even more heartless during a rainstorm" and all the other elements that one can think of so it's not like they've been subject to the pampered lifestyle of ONLY boat fishing. I will say though, I do thoroughly clean my reels after each fishing trip and because of the rigorous activity I put them through... I oil and grease all my reels 3 times a year. I own, Abu Garcia, Shimano, Shakespeare, Diawa, Blue Marlin, Zebco, Libra, and Kastking and I give them all the care & maintenance they should receive. That's where your longevity comes from. I totally break down all my reels and I can honestly say the craftsmanship and quality of all my reels are wonderful but Kastking actually has all them beat, even my Abu Garcia Catfish Series "which I'm pretty sure is also made in China now" has absolutely nothing on my Kastking Rover 60R. Being more than an avid fisherman, actually I have been called a fishing nut by my lady who just doesn't know how to get up with me certain times of the year... I feel I have more than an average view of whats good and not good when the quality of what I use is in question. I am by no means a know it all and I constantly research anything I want to try new. Places like this are the best resource for such research because no one should depend on any merchants reviews of their own equipment. I hope this helps.
