Anyone tried this reel? I keep seeing this on my facebook ads. It has 18 ball bearings lol. Only $39.99!? Why buy Shimano when you can get Shishamo? Just thought I'd share this humorous post.

 

 

 

Yep, playing off a good name and the ignorance that more bearings must mean it's a better reel.

Oh shish !!

I laugh at that every time I see it. 18 bearings...lol. They must just dump some garbage bearings inside the reel. 

LOL! Things people make....

If you get one pair it with a G Loopis rod 

I love the reviews on that site. 10/10 with all cap headlines on all of them.

How do you get 18 bearings in a reel...

4 in handle

1 under drive shaft

1 in level wind

2 spool

1 Cast control knob

1 pinion

1 AR 

1 above AR below drag star

Thank you I'll be performing at the comedy club all weekend

There spinning reel has 121 ball bearings  if you read the title.  Must be a typo because the description says 13 but I thought it was funny when I read it

After Gery Loopis sold out to Shishamo I couldnt take them seriously anymore.

that site's using BPS icon too. 2legit4me

Did you see the weight? Those are some big bearings. 7.4oz

That is no light weight, fishing with a bowling ball anyone ???

Its got 10 magnetZ!!! MagnetZ are heavy!!!

Shishamwow! 

That 10 degree magnetic brake system may be tricky to dial in. I guess I can look past this minor shortcoming since this reel has so many other high end features such as hydrographic printing. Hydrographic printing is important on a reel like this, as you would not want the prestigious Shiscambo name to wear off.

is this some sort of weird joke?. shishamo?? lol !!!!. sadly if its for real theyll end up selling a ton of these. guys be like "18 bearings!!!! omg!!!" 

funny, but not funny.  it's part of the reason the actual shimano costs so freakin much.... they have to have pay lawyers to go after idiots like these....

So we need to order now before they get closed down. 

I used to install car stereos and alarms and people would come in and have issues with systems that they put in themselves with flea market crap. Here's some brands I remember off hand that looked almost identical to the real one. 

Rockford Fosgate > Rockwood Fosgate

Kenwood > Kenford

Sony > Fony (irony.... Lol)

Alpine > Albine

Smfh 

 

 at least this company played with the Japanese name for types of sushi, Shashimi, seeing as how it is fishing related.... 

18 bearings for $40, that's a steal!

 

That's a joke! I better get a Phenix k2 to go with it.

it looks like an abu revo premier too

Typical China copy cat. Believe it or not, fleebay is flooding with these "$40" reels and people are buying them.

With 18 bearings i picture opening it up and its just filled with loose bearings..nothing else.
