Sougayilang Fishing Reel 13+1BB Light Weight Ultra Smooth Aluminum Spinning Fishing Reel with Free Spare Graphite Spool

So far, I really like this reel. It's made well, the parts are sturdy and made of good materials (metal, graphite) it's very smooth and works great right out of the box! It's slightly bigger than some 2000 size reels I've had in the past (slightly larger than a 2000 Nasci) and a little heavier but not by much. For what you pay, it's a great deal for a great reel. My only complaint is that the handle has a foam grip and I prefer a hard plastic or metal but that's personal preference.

This is a good quality reel, very smooth action, can not beat the price and I will buy this name brand again for salt water.

#1 I like the look of the reel, but not important for fishing#2 I like that there is a spare spool @ times this is important#3 I like the balance of the reel and the very good smoothness of the reel no wobble when spinning quick but not that important.#0 Caution when changing spool, there is a small drag gear on the winder shaft it is very lose and will fall off, if in the field while changing and falls off( and lost that's it for fishing) a dab of silicone on gear seat could fix this.#4 Don't like the open spool this could allow water (salt water not good) and other debris in the reel, tape could fix this#5 Don't like no schematic of reel and parts most reels usually give that at purchase#6 Don't like in the directions which would be for a very 1st time fisherman they talk about lubricationit is said and I believe this is dated by AI to remove the maintenance plate and add 2 drops of oil, its not said or shown where this plate is located, I believe it's on the retrieval side of the bail#7 Don't like and this is personal, the handle has a very large round ball to hold and wind with, I've had many reels and never seen this till now, my hands are large but usually that is flat or flat with a slight curve, or like a barrel, it's just not comfortable, but can be modified, fairly easy.#8 I have fished for 70 years, i don't pretend to know everything, but supplier asked for review, I THINKTHE REEL COULD BE A GOOD PURCHASE, PROPER MAINTINANCE AND CARE OR SPARE!

These reels are fantastic. Several reviews complained of poor build and poor material quality but this is not my experience. I bought two of them and a bonus is that each contained and extra spool so I can have spools ready with different line which is quite important when bass fishing.The price I paid for two of these is the same as what I paid for one Piscifun reel and would say they are at least as good from a quality and usability standpoint as the much more expensive reel.

I absolutely love this reel. Super smooth casting and retrieve. I have already recommended this to friends and am gonna grab a few more.

It’s smooth and great

This is a nice reel and a very good reel factoring in the price point. But the listing says that the extra spool is Graphite. It's not; it's a matte black plastic. So, I'm conflicted. I recommend the reel, but don't wish to reward a lie.

So far I am liking this reel. Great value. I hope it stays smooth after use. I would buy again for sure at this price.
