As someone who has experience with Amazon selling. Tidewe and Rhino likely are the exact same product made in the exact same factory in China. Different brands just pay the factories to slap different logos on them, its like a 2% upcharge to get your logo. That’s why so many different brands on Amazon look the same. Because they literally are. Rhino may have way more reviews bc they’ve been around longer. People often base purchases on reviews alone. That may explain price difference
 
I have their neoprene topped rubber boots (like muck boots), and they are great!

Frankly I have 2 of their blinds and they are great for the money.Light.easy set up,starting the second season soon.Didn't know that Piscifin and Tidewe merged.The Piscifin reels are selling like crazy and am hearing only good things so far.I'm talking about their 300 and 400 series bait casters used primarily for muskie.
 
Tidewe and Piscifun merged last year not sure of the details.
and I love my Piscifun bait casting reels the 50 and 60, and just bought their new catfish rod, but have not caught anything over 30lbs, so the verdict is still out they are having a big sale right now

92lbs in April
Piscifun Chaos 50 or 60 , cannot remember
65 J-braid with 80lb whisker seeker mono leader and WS 8/0 triple threat hook
TWC M/H 7ft pole
That's a hog!! I haven't caught one like that since moving to Georgia but used to catch some good ones back in TN. I had no idea they merged, seems like they're making a run at being very real budget brands. Maybe like Okuma?
 
I have 3 Tidewe blinds I use for my young kids. The first one had a few defects so I called them with pics and they immediately replaced it for free and let me keep the defect blind. I left a positive review and they offered to send me a 3rd blind if I just covered the shipping. Can't beat that.

They are very lightweight, but are as tough as any of them. The window slides are smooth and silent.

Good to know that the Piscifun reels are holding up to blues. I'm getting ready to ditch my Penn Squall 2's, and Piscifun is one of the brands i'm contemplating going to.

I started blue cat fishing about 3 years ago. My buddy has been at it a few more years, He has the Tekota's and the ABU 6500's $$$
I was not sure how much I was going to get in to it. so i bought 2 Chaos 50's and 2 60's for $40 to $50 each
The have been a great reel, I have not had to touch them, except to tighted the 3 out side screws on one of them not and then. drag is great and they cast easily.
my buddy keeps sending his high dollar reels in for repair.

When Piscifun first started selling them thru Amazon, if one had an issue, the purchaser would send it back to amazon who then put it back on the shelf to be sold again, so at first they were getting bad rap. That has all been changed after Piscifun found out...

Tekota's are pretty solid reels. That's one of a few that I'm contemplating the switch to. I am not a fan of ABU's for catfish, I have not had the best luck with them holding up to bombing heavy lead and big baits. The original Penn Squalls are rock solid, wish I would have never sold most of the mountain I had of them (some were 15 or so years old with absolutely no maintenance other than a mid winter wipedown to get gizzard shad goop off, and still worked like new). The Squall 2's are garbage, I've got 6 of them. 5 had issues right out of the box, and the 6th made it a grand total of 3 trips before I started having problems with it too.

But even for the price of the Piscifun reels, I could trash them every couple months and replace with new ones and still come out cheaper.

I have puchased 3 of their See Through Blinds. Love them! Zero problems so far...
 
Also have a 270 see-through blind bought for this spring for bow turkeys and getting started, again ;), with grandkids. Decent quality, easy setup and takedown, see-through is pissah compared to old blinds, bag isn't really for backpacking but works OK.
 
I just got one of their see through blinds for like $90 bucks. So far, I've only put it up in the back yard to take a look at things. I must say that I was a little shocked by the quality. They are put together well. I don't see durability being an issue but the test will be this turkey season. I do wish that they had blackened another wall instead of just the one.
 
I bought 2 of the 3 person blinds, they aren't total garbage, but I wouldn't buy them again, I'd rather spend more and get a better quality blind, like the muddy infinity. Frank.
 
I bought one last year, works well but it’s fragile. First time using the zipper the stitching came apart. Cows ended up destroying it but that’s not the blind’s fault. I’d get it again, just have to be careful with it. Windows are awesome, see through walls are cool to.

Just ordered one of their heated vests, nothing but good reviews on them seems like.
