I've been asked to represent Piscifun, a company I know nothing about. I get offers like this weekly because of my YouTube channels and I've only accepted Solar Bat Sunglasses to date. So-

Any input as to the what they have to offer? Sincerely, and thanks.

Dale, mostly I've seen them selling fishing accessory-type items on Amazon (pliers, tackle bags, dry bags, etc). I think they do sell some rods and reels as well.

I have several Piscifun baitcast reels, mostly at the lower price range.  Their low price ($32) Torrent reel is an excellent starter reel for someone new to bait casting.  I bought a couple of them for my wife to try, though she has more recently committed to using spinning reels.  They are actually difficult to backlash, great for beginners and more experienced casters alike.  Their drag is decent and they are light weight.  I haven't used them enough to vouch for their durability.  I also have one of their Spark Pro reels that I bought for close quarters pitching.  It is light weight and also difficult to back lash.  I have a couple of their earlier, no longer produced, reels and they have held up well.

Those things said, I have slowly been migrating all of my baitcast reels to Daiwa Tatulas, so my Piscifun reels are in the cabinet.  I will probably offer them to my bass club members. 
I knew I shoulda re-tied!!

Late to the post once again. If a company sought you out, you're doing something right. Just be honest, make sure you know what they expect and jump on it.

Dale, you and I have been around a while. Free is cool but use what you have confidence in and like.

I'll join the late party ~fff With a little recommendation... Do your research and try to check, multiple times if necessary, whether these kind of offers are real or not.
Check the email address they use, how it's written, email headers, whether it came into the spam folder and so on. Double check everything.

Sure they can and quite a lot of them are real but lately the social engineering schemes to get personal data are rising.
Currently Tech Admin on here, you can also call me Flavio :) ...Yes, I am friendly! (Maybe) :P

Ding, ding, ding! You nailed it.

DW, it's a good idea to try and contact the Actual company, not by the number the "message" or email says, but look them up directly and inquire personally about it. There are a LOT of AI generated Social Profiles and fake accounts, as Flavio said, to "fish" you for information.
