This is the last post I’ll make on this thread.
I feel like, for some reason, there are members on here who cannot wrap their head around the fact that this post is not about “is brand x worth the extra money”. I keep getting replies of “people buy what they can afford”. Of course they do. I totally respect and appreciate that. I also buy what I can afford.
However, this post was asking what makes a person decide between the following, for example:
$50 Lew’s Classic (known brand)
$50 piscifun (unknown brand)
Obviously we’re not talking about “buying what I can afford” in this situation.
Thank you to those that gave a valid response as to why people choose the lesser known brand, e.g. Amazon marketing or perceived value due to more bearings/higher drag, etc.
If you are a piscifun owner and were offended by this post, nut up. You bought the reel, be proud of It.
