Overview
CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Piscifun Sword fly reel comes in four line-weight versions, 3/4 through 9/10, each with its own weight, diameter, and backing capacity. Drag comes from a multi-disc carbon and stainless steel stack with a one-way clutch bearing.
Drag is adjustable through a click system rather than a continuous dial, and the clutch bearing is meant to give instant engagement instead of a delayed catch. The body is hard-anodized after cold-forging, which the listing points to for resisting corrosion and wear. It ships preset for left-hand retrieve, but the listing states it can be converted to right-hand retrieve, and Piscifun backs it with a three-year warranty.

- Multi-disc carbon/steel drag stack
- Three-year warranty included
- Left-hand retrieve, convertible to right
Who it's for
Fits fly anglers who want a mid-arbor reel in a specific line-weight class, from light 3/4 weight setups up to heavier 9/10 weight rigs. Anglers who need a factory right-hand retrieve out of the box should confirm that conversion before ordering, since it ships set up for left-hand retrieve.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Reduces line memory via mid-arbor spool
- Drag engages smoothly via clutch bearing
- Hard-anodized for corrosion resistance
- Sized precisely by line-weight class
- Ships preset for left-hand retrieve, needs conversion for right-hand
Performance notes
The multi-disc carbon and stainless steel drag stack combined with the one-way clutch bearing is designed to give the drag consistent, silent engagement rather than a jerky start under load. The mid-arbor spool shape is meant to reduce line memory and speed up line pickup compared with a full-arbor design. Backing capacity and reel weight both scale up across the four line-weight versions, so the correct size matters for matching rod and line.
