Sougayilang Spinning Reel,12+1 Stainless BB Fishing Reel,Ultra Smooth Powerful, Lightweight Graphite Frame, CNC Aluminum Spool for Saltwater Freshwater

Shipped fast - surprised at the quality since this is only $25 reel , however I had to take apart bail & adjust it to keep from eating line between roller & bail😞Also the reel would not lock into reel seat of 3 different store bought rods , So I had to file the feet of reel to fit (please fix this Sougililang). After filing down which was easy to remove the material being composite not cast pot metal . That was all the fine tuning needed . Extremely smooth reel matching the $100 reels I looked at , I ended up ordering 2 more of these in different sizes so if I get a years working time couldn’t ask for more - great price & product otherwise

For the price this is an AWESOME reel. I gave it to my 7 year old 2 months ago and it’s still holding up great after at least 2-3 days of use per week. We live near the water (saltwater) & go fishing all the time. The only downside at this point is that the housing screws have started to rust. The reel itself is still really smooth so I’m guessing they didn’t use stainless screws for the reel housing to cut costs. I’ll probably go to the hardware store and just replace the screws with what the manufacturer should have used to begin with on a reel that’s advertised as “saltwater”.I find that just replacing reels every couple of years is just as efficient as getting a reel serviced (replacement bearings aint cheap)

Took a chance on this low end reel, and I am super happy that I did.The reel was super smooth, love the beef bail, and the thing I love most is the long / big / round knob. It gives extra leverage to fight bigger fish - I pulled a decent size black drum from the jetty on my 3000 reel, it felt like nothing.Had it on salt water couple times so far, haven't noticed any issues. Overall I'm super happy, and will consider buying a 4000 one.

Needed to replace my #2 size spinning reel. I have other Sougayilang gear and it has been a good value and performed well. I took this reel to the catfish home today and a large turtle took the bait, WIth 4 lb lihe I was able to use the drag to bring it to the bank. I think it was a good test for this little reel. I feel the oversized cranking knob is a little too oversized, but it isn't uncomfortable. The real test will come when I' crappie fishing on Lake Toho and one of those monster Florida largemouth bass take the minnow!

I just received the Sougayilang Model 4000 spinning reel. The reel appears to more than meet my expectations and the quality appears to be very good (I will not get a chance to actually use the reel until later this year). While going through the instructions manual, I found that there are a couple of confusing items: (1) It says to tie your line to the "Arbor", but there is no mention on the diagram of an "Arbor"; (2) It mentions using "Oil Injection" and you are supposed to spray in the "Maintenance Port". However, there is no mention of where that is located either in the text or in any diagrams. When I went to "Product Support" through the Amazon order area (as instructed), when I click on "Support", I cannot get to support (page cannot be found).
