SougayilangBaitcasting Fishing Reel, 8:1 High Speed Gear Ratio Super Smooth and Powerful Low Profile Baitcaster Reel with Maganic Brake System for Freshwater,Saltwater

I'm a bait caster man, and this one has done well so far. I do alot of gulf fishing, and will see how it holds up to the torture of salt water. Would buy again.

It was just added to my arsenal . I haven't had a chance to use it yet !

The media could not be loaded. Let me put this first: I have a Daiwa tatula tw sv which cost $200, and a previous Sougayilang baitcaster which I lost in the river. The previous Sougayilang reel, which doesn't seem to be available anymore, felt like a $30 reel: Usable but nothing more.This sougayilang, oh my, is inseparable compared to the Daiwa in terms of performance, but considering the price, it has a much much higher cost to performance ratio.Casting distance is the same as my Daiwa.Has a cooler color than my plain gray Daiwa.The spool tention knob is insensitive, which is good because you can turn a noticeable amount without the lure go from not dropping to huge bird nest. However, according to the description: The spool tension knob has audible clicks to fine tune casting control and to maintain the proper setting. No it does not click. This is the only complaint I have.It has exactly the same reeling handle as my Daiwa, which is way very rubbery, grippy and comfortable compared to foam on my previous Sougayilang.Reeling in is smooth, but not as smooth as Daiwa, and is on the heavier side but that might be because of the high gear ratio(8 vs 7 on my Daiwa).It has 10 magnets and man it's really hard to get a bird nest with the dial turned to anywhere above 5. The previous Sougayilang was like manual brake only and this one I honestly need to try to bird nest it.Not sure about durability as I've only had it for a day, but it seems sturdy and I'm not going to abuse it so it should be fine.

It's durable, and a great buy for the money.

For the price there isn’t much to complain about

Sad, the first seemed like a nice reel so i purchased a second reel to play with. It came poorly wrapped and wo lubrication. The reel comes without a parts list or schematic. Emails to the company go unanswered. The only good thing was price but I will return this dog.

I like the look of it

Not what I expected but it’ll work
