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:
what pole gose with this reel?
Answer: I have it on 9 foot medium action cause I like to cast it longways, cabelos pgc864-2

Q:
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. I strongly suggest you read my prior review on this reel...it is inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Mine lasted me about 5 fishing trips...
Q:

Answer: Solid reel , I personally prefer a larger

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
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
Kevin : Beware
Beware of this product. Was not complete. Internal level wind gear was missing. It is to much time and trouble to have to ship it back for a replacement and they will not refund until it is received back to seller. Gave it one star because finish looks nice!
R & J : Works great. Looks great
So far I love this reel. I put 80lbs braid on it. I’ve caught about 15 rock fish and a ling and a massive skate. Holding up great.
Robert P. : Reel value for the cash no pun intended.
Best reel I have even better than my C7s. So smooth I thought maybe I just got a good one. But no the other 2 I ordered are just as smooth.
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.
Amazon Customer : Waste of time and money
Reel looked great out of the box. Made some pratice cast and set out fishing. My first fish on this reel was about a 2lb catfish. The handle would turn but not the spool. I tightened the drag and tension. I had to roll the spool with my thumb. I never seen such a bad reel in my life. I think a zebco 202 could do better.
miguel : Not so good
Doesn't cast that good no cranking power. Spend a little more for a better reel
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.
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 .
William Baudoin : Bottom fishing
I use it for bottom fishing for red fish works grate good drag smooth reel
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.
James : Reel was a "Lemon". Customer service was a "Peach".
After reading some of the other reviews with higher praise, I think I may have simply received a "lemon". I had high hopes for this reel when I first received it, although I did notice that some of the handle/knob parts seemed a bit plastic-like and the handle assembly didn't seem to be screwed on straight (Perhaps cross-threaded during assembly). Well, as it so happened, the first time I used it fishing, one of the plastic-like knobs ended up snapping off when I accidently dropped the rod & reel assembly. I shook it off and continued to rig it up to fish. I proceeded to cast it for the first time and it refused to cast even though I had it in "free spool mode". The inertia of the cast broke my 20lb. mono leader and all the tackle and bait went flying with it. The same thing happened maybe three casts later...it for some reason locked up and sent my leader flying into oblivion; except this time I had the worst "bird's nest" I've ever had to contend with. I ended up having to cut all the braided line off of the reel. I originally gave this a one star review due to my frustration, but will upgrade this to a three star because the customer service was really great and that is hard to find in this day and age.
Douglas White : So far so good.
So far it's great. I don't know about later on but I've used it several trips. Been doing great.
Gary Fox : Attractive price
Have only fished with this reel one time but was pleased with the way it performed. Do not know how this reel will hold up over time but it is less expensive than an Ambasator reel and I prefer the power handles.
philip turano : work good
nice
Amazon Customer : Reel stops workings when reeling w weight or fish on cheap
Very cheap don’t waste your money on this reel been fishing for 50years and never had a reel that failed on the first fish ?
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.
Billy Dakuras : Great reels for the price

Over all the reels have worked really well.
Bryce Hickman : Poor quality
Reel feels good in the hand for catfishin BUTT I used one time HAD PARTS FALL OFF cast poorly and retrieved poorly not smooth I suggest if you wanna buy a cheap bait caster for catfishin use kast king for sure. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!
shan shan jiang : Works but poorly made
The reel screws quickly worked loose while fishing. Despite looking nice on the outside, it’s all plastic inside. It squeaks when reeling, and just feels loose. It does work though. wish I had just spent a little bit more for better inexpensive reels on the market.
Perry Slayton : Not the quality I was expecting
I purchased one of the warrior 6000 reels in September 2018 purchased a 2nd one of the warrior 6000 reel in October 2018. Now both the original and the new one have stopped functioning. One has major drag issues and the other you cannot adjust the reel for drag and reel in your line. I thought these would be good reels for the price as they seemed solid. Wish I would have looked inside. Been trying to get through to customer service but no one acknowledges my request. I would have discussed this issue and gave them a chance to explain and make it right. So far lousy product and no customer service! I should no by now it is not about price.
G McClain : The lowest drag setting was way to high. It would break 20lb test.
The real looks very nice. Functions were all there except the drag disc inside the reel was contaminated with some type of rubber that was locking up the internal drag disc. After cleaning and lubricating the star drag components the real seems to be fine now. Quality control was slightly off on this real.
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!!!
Steve Lee : Fishing reels
Love it
Brandon : Definitely not a Garcia!
When you first open these reels you think Wow! I got a great deal, they are made of metal not plastic so they'll probably hold up pretty good. You would be mistaken...I bought two and neither one would cast for crap. I've used Abu Garcia for twenty years and never seen a reel lock-up mid cast!?!? It may just need a couple more ball bearings but idk. I rated this product 2 stars(for the price, and construction of the reel).
Perry Slayton : Not the quality I was expecting

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 .
Larissa : Great reel
Not to be second guessed
Amazon Customer : Impressed for what it cost!
While it is not a top of the line reel it did not cost a ''top of the line'' price. It is smooth and seems as if it will be durable. I am satisfied.
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.
WILLIAM MARGOWSKI : Quality & Price
Looks great can’t wait to get to the lake and try it out but I really like the fact that it has all brass gear where the Abu Garcia have plastic gears I bought a new Abu Garcia last year and it already stripped out the gear for the line leveler so I’m hoping that this reel will hold up better since it all brass gears
Perry Slayton : Not the quality I was expecting

Paired it with Ugly Stix GX2 great inshore for saltwater ..1st trip broken Horrible product requesting a refund rating 0 stars

young : great reel , great price
Nice looking reel and it’s small. Fits good in your hand. It came fast next day I caught a 6 pound bass, If you want a great reel for a low price, this is it.
Peter Freund : Not ergonomically pleasing
Seems well built but the clicker setting doesn't get very tight which can be annoying when fishing in current. If you plan to cast, I'd look for something different as the cast release is in an awkward location.
philip turano : work good
nice
Paul L Barrow Sr : Nice
It was what I ordered
Pj1969 : You pay for what you get
You get what you pay for. Not to happy with the way it works.
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.
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.
charles k maynard : Fantastic looking reel does not fit the bill
So upon opening the box first glance a beautiful looking real definitely looks like a good one has a good strong drag has a nice clicker system that's where it stops the line lays wrong on the real and bunches up and backlash I rewound the real several times with different pound test line did not fix issue it whines on incorrectly however a beautiful looking real looks great if you want something to just hang on the wall and not use
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.
Thomas Weisenberger : Garbage
Came in unadjusted and rough, after adjustment it had a scrape when reeling very basic rough winding reel spend a few more dollars and buy a brand name that has some sort of quality control.
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.
Clay : Very impressed
I bought the 4000 about 2 months ago because I was looking for an alternative to my old abu ambassador. Mainly use it for river fishing for smaller channel and blue cats and common carp so I decided to get the smallest one. I was very impressed with it after about 5 or so outings so I bought a second one, for the money it's hands down worth it and I'm going to slowly phase out all my old ambassadors (when I say old they were all purchased in the late 80s-early 90s) as they break with these because I think they're that good.
Peter Freund : Not ergonomically pleasing
Seems well built but the clicker setting doesn't get very tight which can be annoying when fishing in current. If you plan to cast, I'd look for something different as the cast release is in an awkward location.
charles k maynard : Fantastic looking reel does not fit the bill
So upon opening the box first glance a beautiful looking real definitely looks like a good one has a good strong drag has a nice clicker system that's where it stops the line lays wrong on the real and bunches up and backlash I rewound the real several times with different pound test line did not fix issue it whines on incorrectly however a beautiful looking real looks great if you want something to just hang on the wall and not use
Adrian : Reel
Nice reel for the price
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.
