Sougayilang Carp Spinning Reel Carbon Fiber Drag for Fishing Action Bait Feeder Standard Fishing Reel Runner for Freshwater

The spool body is missing 50% material below the where the fishing line should be. Often line gets trapped underside and get tangled up. Need to unwind the front drag to untangle lol.

Very impressed with the quality of the reel it was smooth when it came and was smoother after I took it apart cleaned and applied pen grease and the drag is very smooth AFTER I oiled the drag washers (they always come dry due to shipping even abu garcia comes dry and if used dry the drag washers burn and get ruined). On a side note I was very surprised to find SEALED bearings in this reel which I did not see coming for the price I am very satisfied

Muy bueno

Loved my new reel so much I bought another one. Wife and I have used these reels for a couple seasons for multiple trips to surf fish off the carolinas. We have paired them up with a 12' and 13' rod and they cast 100 yards. I've only had the bale snap down on one cast, but my penn spinfisher has done this as well. They are beautiful looking reels that still look brand new after dozens of outings. We do thoroughly rinse them off after every day fishing and have not a single corrosion issue. I have actually ran into 3 other fisherman that were using the same reel with the same positive options about the reels. They are a slight bit smaller than your typical 7000 series reels , but not by that much. The extra spool comes in handy if you need to switch up the size of line your using. My only wish is that the drag alarm/indicator/ clicker on the baitfeeder would be louder so you can hear it over the sound of the surf. Would highly recommend!

Functionality is amazing being able to have 2 seperate drag systems, the durability seems solid enough to last a few years. It reels rather smoothly for such a cheap reel overall I think it's great. I've flipped the the bait runner a few times nothing has snapped yet and both seem to work, I've even had a carp take off with the bait and it flipped back no issues even under a load it reeled just fine and works all the same definitely will be ordering more from this company. If you are targeting Carp and Catfish this reel should definitely perform flawlessly
