Sougayilang Spinning Fishing Reel, 5.2:1 High Speed Spinning Reel, Lightweight 11+1BB Ultra Smooth for Saltwater or Freshwater ,1000-6000 Series

very good reel.

Not sure where all the good reviews come from. Out of the box the reel does feel slick with a nice action….BUT in use it fails about every 4 casts. Expect to sort out lots of line issues with bird nests and jamming under the spool. I’d avoid. I bought a shimano FX 4000 to replace it.

I’m definitely no bass-fishing-reel snob. I own numerous spinning and bait casting reels from various brands like Abu Garcia, Lew’s, Kast King, Piscifun, and Cadence, and at prices from $30 to $80. My most expensive “combo” is a $100 Penn Battle 2 spinner mounted to a $180 Shimano Teramar rod. So it goes w/out saying I’m not afraid to buy cheapish rods or reels if they are highly reviewed or from a reputable company. That being said, I was a bit skeptical about what kind of serviceable quality and performance I could possibly get from a sub $20 reel…like this Sougayilang spinning reel. Throwing caution to the wind, I bought the 3000 size spinner and mounted it to a fairly pricey Googan Squad Green Series 7’2 MH rod to use for the first of our few annual trips to one of our favorite “fat-bass” honey holes, a huge, gnarly, secluded swamp, here in NE Georgia. I typically don’t take my more expensive rods and reels to this bass-heavy swamp, because getting there is hard on the body and hard on the fishing gear. There’s a 30-45 minute paddle down a river covered in snags, narrow passes, and fallen trees that require us to get out of our kayaks and pull them over the trees. Several times, on trips to this spot, I’ve tipped my kayak, sending me, my rods, reels, and gear into the river. Once we get to the swamp down river, it’s a knee-deep trek through mud, up a steep bank, pulling our kayaks up the incline and dragging them through brush and briars to our entry point into the swamp. The big bass we catch make the hard work getting there and back worth it, but it’s hard on our gear, no doubt. Anyway, I bought the Souga spinner to use as a cheap reel I didn’t mind dunking, banging, scratching, losing, or breaking in the tough conditions. Long story short, this reel is a ridiculous performer at such a super cheap price! It was my go-to reel on this trip, and I landed more then a half dozen bass between 2-4 lbs with no problems whatsoever! In fact, this reel is incredibly smooth, allowing long casts with nothing but a size 3 bass hook and a Zoom Super Fluke. Never needed to use the drag on the fish I caught, but the reel’s gear ratio and uncanny smoothness made for easy landings of all the bass I caught. Although this reel is a bit on the heavy side, I cannot say enough about my first experience with it and the way it handled those heavy hitting, hard fighting, swamp fatties! I wouldn’t have believed this reel could have performed so amazingly at such a stupid cheap price if I hadn’t proved it for myself. The pictures speak for themselves and how well this dirt cheap Souga spinner performed in a tough environment with even tougher swamp savvy bass. You can be a bass reel snob if you’d like and spend hundreds of dollars on the best equipment, but proof of “value to price” is in the performance and build of a reel and, ultimately, in how many “swamp toads” are in your bass fishing selfies at the end of the day!! DEFINITELY recommend this reel as a dirt cheap, work-horse addition to your fishing repertoire. Rev. Brown Monroe, Ga
