Questions about Sougayilang Fishing Reels Round Baitcasting Reel - Conventional Reel - Reinforced Metal Body and Supreme Star Drag
Q:
Looking for a customer service number to call
Answer: I’m Not sure if they Offer One or Not ? Have you Tried to E Mail them ?
Q:
Can i use this reel for saltwater?
Answer: Bought two, 1st time I used it the adjustment knob kept falling off and finally it went overboard. The second reel, the drag is always tight, star is all the way out and there is about 10lbs. Of drag at the lowest adjustment. Tighten the drag a little and it locks up. Wrapped pliers around the line, pulled and snapped 30lb. Braid. But they were brand new so saltwater didn’t have anything to do with the failures.
Answer: Probably but it’s a junky reel won’t last
Q:

Answer: I have it on 9 foot medium action cause I like to cast it longways, cabelos pgc864-2

how wide is this reel and how much line does it hold?
Answer: The width and line capacity depends on the size of the reel...4000, 5000, or 6000; however I would say its about the same size at the Abu C3 series for the same size.

Is the clicker on this model loud

Very poor quality.

Product reviews of Sougayilang Fishing Reels Round Baitcasting Reel - Conventional Reel - Reinforced Metal Body and Supreme Star Drag
David : Looks great performs like crap!
Bought the reel was very excited looks amazing! BUT the drag does not set and the release paw does not work and just grinds! If the company will send me another one that actually works I will give a great review with videos of catching some big fish! But until then it will be a bad review hope to hear from the company soon.
Justan Oppegaard : I would recommend this
After a a couple of weeks a screw came out making it hard to reel. Had to loctite it but then snapped, but still held the reel in place. After a month the lock quit working so I couldn't use the drag as an indicator if I had a fish. Pretty good reel if it wasn't for those defects, otherwise this would be an awesome affordable reel.
Pj1969 : You pay for what you get
You get what you pay for. Not to happy with the way it works.
Jclark : Warrior 6000… Great budget reel for its size class, outstanding performance!!!
I can’t say enough good things about this reel!!! It looks ant the smoothest reel ever, but as you can see it will get the job done!!! I did take it apart and cleaned it and re-lubed it when I got it, which helped out a lot. But for the money you can’t beat this thing, especially in this price range! I did notice today (fathers day 2021) that the left side of the reel started feeling loose, but that’s something I can deal with. I’ve put it through the ringer the past 2 weeks!!!
Brandon : nice lookin cheap reel
looks nice and after a few uses it began to fall apart.
Lee I. : Dont rely on this
The reel worked out of the box. My only complaint at the time was the drag really sucked. Otherwise it worked. Used for 2 trips. I had issues with the braided line tangling on the line guide on the reel. On third trip i cast the pole on a bottom feeder. Hooked a fish and it wont reel back in. Just makes a zipping noise while reeling like drag is super low. I gave up and cut the line after losing more than half my spool. Will not buy anything of this brand again.

Gandyson : I like it.
A bit smaller than a typical 50 reel but gets the job done. Loaded it with 250 yards of braid and it was not overloaded. Casting is smooth and quiet. Still wait to see the action on a big fish.
Jaun : Good price
Once I got the brakes dialed in it worked great and have been using it about everytime I have went fishing this year it's a little tricky to figure out but I run 50 lb test heavy line on it with a full spool good smooth reel for the money
jeremy : anti-reverse shot after one fish.
The anti-reverse is shot after one decent fish, wish I could get money back or a new sent to me seeing it was the first fish I caught on this reel but I purchased it a year ago.
kat : Bad quality control
It looks like a solid reel and the price was right. I really liked the cast/retrieve lever versus a bush button. Unfortunately it didn't even make it a month, hooked into a large freshwater drum (4lbs) and it jerked the rod out of the holder onto some rocks. The gearing inside broke from the impact and now drag is iffy at best.
Mae : Eh
Nice but broke super easy
Davis Sylvester : Excellent Reel
I decided to try this reel out. I was very impressed with the reel. I used it for catfish and stripper fishing. Very happy with the performance and feel of the reel.
Mb : GARBAGE.....Don't Buy
Junk reel gears stripped out first use .
Spend a little more and by something else.
Reel is garbage waste of my day using it
Mae : Eh
Nice but broke super easy
loki : piece of guano
didn't last a day
Daniel : What a awesome buy
Man a reel for catfishing this is what you need done bought three more
Lauren Cleveland : not for beginners but great cheap baitcaster
ok so good build quality, strong, cast far, ect and most importantly its cheap. what you give up for the price is a good breaking system. you will be using your thumb and maybe a glove. this is not the best choice if you have never used a bait caster and arent experienced in fishing and fixing ratnests of line. but if you want a good build quality cheap reel that can reel in a large catfish, pike, muskie, salmon, ect on 60-100lb braided line then this is a good choice. it can hold a lot of line, but i have only tried braided so far. when reeling in a small 5 in fish it is actually very hard to tell if you have a fish on the line. fished in very dirty muddy conditions and the reel hasn't had any issues or rust. has a clicker. caught a large channel cat on it and reeled it in very easily.
Steve Sanders : Doesn’t last
Worked great for 3 fishing trips. On trip number 4 the level wind quit working. Spend the extra $ and get a name brand
Paul labounty : worth the money
i had a problem but they fixed it
Bill C. : failed after 6 months
After a few months of not using the reel, it became frozen, and being new to saltwater fishing and this type of reel, I used too much force to get the reel to turn and I ended up stripping the level wind gear. I took the reel apart and saw what had happened. The plastic gear that drives the level wind was tore up. I probably could have freed the gear manually using a lubricant if I had taken the reel apart instead of trying to horse it by cranking the handle (but I was on a pier and eager to begin fishing). The reel is still operable, but without the level wind feature, which for me is kind of a big deal. Without the level wind feature, the reel can only be used for bottom fishing and vertical jigging in moderate water depths.
slowsuki : good value
i got 2 of these reels both seem to be well made but the line lay was horrible , looked like an egg or football so i returned the one i got off amazon , i'm stuck with the other one not worth returning to china , anyway i got a kastking rover 60 to replace this one and the line lay is much better not as good as a real abu though .
Brian Ward Posey : Not for the harcore fisherman.
Very noisy, feels like its full of sand or worn out new out of the box, if your not a hardcore fisherman it would make a good reel for the money.
lynne cloud : Love it
It is an bait caster and is a pretty well made one. Love it lots of fun with freshwater bass carp and catfish
Angelica Ross : Good, but not great.
The drag on this reel is rubbish. Casting compared to other bait casters is extremely slow and pull far too hard to the left.
For the same price bass pro offers a higher quality reel which would be a better buy.
I would not buy this reel again!
jeremy : anti-reverse shot after one fish.
The anti-reverse is shot after one decent fish, wish I could get money back or a new sent to me seeing it was the first fish I caught on this reel but I purchased it a year ago.
Mark : Jury’s not in
Not bad or good either. Time will tell as for durability. It’s fairly cheaply made with some flimsy parts that make me suspect of this thing holding up. It’s working well so far
JXT : this Fishing Reel is his favorite. So I am very happy that he likes ...
As a gift to my brother, he was very excited to receive it. He is a fishing enthusiast and I have bought many different fishing reels to him before, this Fishing Reel is his favorite. So I am very happy that he likes this gift.
james : hope
i love these reels more than i should. Ive bought 8 and destroyed 3 so far. They work amazing but do not last.
Tapanga Tackett : Dimensions are wrong! Gear ratio is different. *UPDATE*. READ DISCRIPTION!
Rating this product before it's used! But the dimensions for the 5000 is wrong! It says the gear ratio is 5.2:1, which is great! But when I got it in the mail it's only 4.2:1, like the 6000 says it is. Other than that, it was packaged great & looks even better than the pictures!
*UPDATE*
The seller contacted me & they're sending me a brand new reel! Overall amazing seller, it was just a simple mix up! Strongly recommend!
Keith : Good reel
Seems to be a nice reel after using it a few times.
Jaun : Good price
Once I got the brakes dialed in it worked great and have been using it about everytime I have went fishing this year it's a little tricky to figure out but I run 50 lb test heavy line on it with a full spool good smooth reel for the money
Clark H. : Save Your money to Get a Better Name Reel
Looks Used ? Seems Flimsy , Will not Purchase another One
Amazon Customer : Niceee reel
Works great for catfish and whatever else..
kat : Bad quality control
It looks like a solid reel and the price was right. I really liked the cast/retrieve lever versus a bush button.

Bill. Maybach : Sougayilang is a classical designed round Bait Casting Reel
I bought this reel for its classical design to use mostly for trolling and casting for pan fish. I added 300 yards of braided 20 pound test line. I found it to be a standard to use for my lake fishing in northern Georgia.
Billy Dakuras : Great reels for the price
Just purchased 8 new reels and went fishing with them. They worked great and caught fish on all of them. Found to frag was extremely smooth and the reels good quality for the money. Drags tend to come a little loose at times which I can live with occasional adjustment. The reels look absolutely beautiful. My only concern would be how to receive service in the future but with a 6 ball bearing system And the quality they should work great for many years. My only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to make the clicker button tighter as it tends to move out of the clicker position.
Over all the reels have worked really well.
Keith : Good reel
Seems to be a nice reel after using it a few times.
Rachel J Teller : Arrived damaged
When I received the product the crank bolt was stripped and the crank was crooked and unable to be fixed. I was really excited for this real and was disappointed to find that the quality was less than expected.
Michael G. Plover : Reliability
I cannot write a review about how the reel worked while fishing because as i was putting line on the reel i noticed the reel made a lot of noise and level wine had come out of the grove, i also attempted to pull line off the reel by hand but the drag would not let me so attempted to loosen the star drag but it was as lose as it would go. So i am returning it with the hopes of getting one that works.
Carl W. : Lightweight and everything operated properly
It was exactly what I wanted for trolling with lead core line for trout light and efficient
Mario A Montes : Lacking smooth action
Do not feel it has the smooth action it should have. I'm using a braided line, so I don't know if that's affecting its action.
Amazon Customer : Niceee reel
Works great for catfish and whatever else..
jason clinton : Sent it back
Reel arrived looked good, After installing the line the drag would not function at all. Found that the threads were stripped on the adjustment. Cheap made, will not buy again.
Jim Presley - Bluesman : Sougayilang Warrior 60 - Not Bad at All
The reel came in a box with a parts diagram on the box. No instructions of where to write to get replacement parts. One negative in my mind.
The reel is all metal and seems substantial and solid. Black side plates, golden spool, with golden adjustment knobs, (attractive to look at)
Inside most of the parts are brass except dor the levelwind gear and the clicker gear. At $49.95 this is not bad at all especially if you are planning to remove the levelwind altogether to make it a surf casting specialist reel like I am.
The cast control knobs ( 2 of them ) are better and more effective than the Kastking Rover 60s but not as good or effective as those found on an Abu 6500 C. Then again you're talking $49.95 vs $139.95.
The drag advertised 30 lbs which I didn't believe but to my surprize it delivered 37.7 lbs on a pull test. On a 5 lb drag setting it was a little jerky over a 20 yard walk test.
The Abu 6500 only claims 15 lbs and delivers 14.7 so there you go. This reel is $49.95.
I put abiut 350 yards of 65 lb Power Pro line on the reel and added it to a 10 ft medium light surf rod rated for 1oz to 5oz weights and went to the field.
Right out of the box, as is I was able to cast 2 oz & 3 oz sinkers 105 to 111 yards with one breakoff and one bitds nest out of 21 total casts.
Casting it compares favorably to the Abu 6500 out of the box. I will say the levelwind assembly is noisey and robs you of significant distance.
I had to set the spool tension a little higher than I wanted because of the somewhat ineffective centrifugal brake.
Future plans for this reel include removing the levelwind and all gears associated with it. Removing the centrifugal breaks and adding a knobby mag brake.
I may or may not swap out the bushings on the spool for a set of dry run ceramic bearings.
There isn't a lot of roon for a knobby mag.
6mm to 8mm at max. An N52 magnet at this size should do the job.
I fish the surf in the Gulf of Mexico with Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout, and Flounder being my most common target species.
The reel should be able to handle them without any problem but with this high drag strength you will need 50 to 80 lb braid to keep from the heavy but sticky drag.
Over all at $49.95 this is not bad at all
Brian Ward Posey : Not for the harcore fisherman.
Very noisy, feels like its full of sand or worn out new out of the box, if your not a hardcore fisherman it would make a good reel for the money.
Jclark : Warrior 6000… Great budget reel for its size class, outstanding performance!!!
I can’t say enough good things about this reel!!! It looks ant the smoothest reel ever, but as you can see it will get the job done!!! I did take it apart and cleaned it and re-lubed it when I got it, which helped out a lot. But for the money you can’t beat this thing, especially in this price range! I did notice today (fathers day 2021) that the left side of the reel started feeling loose, but that’s something I can deal with. I’ve put it through the ringer the past 2 weeks!!!
Memloss : china junk
this whole reel is junk. i threw it away.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
