ibobpeb Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 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. 2
R H Clark Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Yep, playing off a good name and the ignorance that more bearings must mean it's a better reel. 2
JaxBasser Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I laugh at that every time I see it. 18 bearings...lol. They must just dump some garbage bearings inside the reel.
Super User Darren. Posted March 15, 2016 Super User Posted March 15, 2016 LOL! Things people make....
Fishin' Fool Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 If you get one pair it with a G Loopis rod 13
GoCougs14 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I love the reviews on that site. 10/10 with all cap headlines on all of them. 1
Super User iabass8 Posted March 15, 2016 Super User Posted March 15, 2016 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 2

tstraub Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 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 http://www.shoppingezy.com/p/shishamo-full-metal-body-5-5-1-121-ball-bearings-with-one-way-clutch-spinning-reel-left-right-hand-exchangble Tyler

S. Sass Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Did you see the weight? Those are some big bearings. 7.4oz That is no light weight, fishing with a bowling ball anyone ???

MRG Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 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. 3
robster80 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 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!!!" 1
Super User buzzed bait Posted March 16, 2016 Super User Posted March 16, 2016 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.... 2

dam0007 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 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.... 1
fisherrw Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 That's a joke! I better get a Phenix k2 to go with it.
Lexy123 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Typical China copy cat. Believe it or not, fleebay is flooding with these "$40" reels and people are buying them.
Super User deaknh03 Posted March 18, 2016 Super User Posted March 18, 2016 With 18 bearings i picture opening it up and its just filled with loose bearings..nothing else. 3
