When I first opened the Sougayilang Colorful Ultralight Spinning Reel, I thought I accidentally ordered a piece of high-end jewelry. This thing is SHINY—like, “blind a fish before you even cast” shiny. I half expected it to come with a velvet display case instead of fishing line. But once I got past its dazzling beauty, I realized… it actually works!Pros:✅ Ridiculously Lightweight – I could cast all day without my arm feeling like I just finished a gym workout.✅ 39 lbs Carbon Drag – I’m pretty sure I could reel in a small submarine with this thing.✅ 6.0:1 High Speed Gear Ratio – Fast enough to retrieve a lure before my buddy even notices I stole his fishing spot.✅ Looks Amazing – If fishing had a fashion show, this reel would be the supermodel.Cons:❌ Too Pretty for Its Own Good – I’m afraid to scratch it. I considered buying a second one just for display.❌ Fish Might Get Jealous – I swear, some of them swam away just to avoid being caught by something fancier than their own scales.❌ People Will Ask Questions – Be prepared to answer, “Whoa, where’d you get that reel?” at least 17 times per fishing trip.Final Verdict:If you want a reel that performs like a pro and looks like it belongs in a treasure chest, this is the one. Just be ready for the attention—and maybe wear sunglasses to avoid the glare!

This is a very smooth fishing reel. So far I have only caught pan fish with it but I look forward to next year's trout season.

Smooth operating reel, can tell its cheaply made but for $40 I won’t complain. Handle does make contact every so often with the line roller, I fixed this by adding a washer to the handle.

Made cheap and fell apart first time using it

The only good thing about this reel is that it looks nice. But the looks are deceiving. The reel is awful. Line continuously gets caught under the reel. I used the reel precisely twice. I put brand new line on it, but it was tangling the line underneath itself so often that when I actually used it, I spent more time disassembling it to untangle the line from beneath it than I did actually fishing. The reel is largely made of really cheap plastic, also. It was a complete waste of money. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it. Here's to hoping you don't make the same mistake.

何より軽い長い時間キャストしても以前より疲労感は明らかに減少した。外見はちょい派手だけどいい買い物でした。

I don't write a lot of reviews, and when I do write one, its after I've fully tested the item and put it through usage a little tougher than normal.Ive been using this reel for 2 outings a week for the past 3 months. Now I don't fish from a boat per say, I fish out of a kayak, and one thing you can pretty much guarentee when your fishing in the ocean with a kayak. Things are going to get wet. Sometimes soaking wet. Which this reel did on many occasions. Now I did make sure I rinsed the equipment off when I returned home after each trip. Nothing special, just a quick rinse with the hose.Using this reel and various baits. In 3 months Ive landed between 40 and 50 fish. Ranging in size from a small 6 inch jack to a 34 inch snook and there were a few +30 reds that fully tested the drag system on this reel.The reel performed extremely well, both in distance of casting and in drag resistance when playing the larger and also the smaller fish I brought into the kayak. Its a very smooth drag.For the price (under $50) I was very impressed and I would say it fishes as well as some more well known brands that ran me between $100-$150.Ive been banging this reel around the kayak and wasnt sure how the color shift paint job would hold up. The answer is extremely well. There are a couple small areas where the paint has chipped off and thats it, I don't baby my reels and thats why im excited that I was able to find a low cost reel that holds up to my abuse and performs as good as a reel costing3 to 5 times as much.Its a no brainer that I'll pick up a few more of these. Most likely I'll get one more of the same size and probably pick the big brother up as well.I believe 99% of purchasers will be quite happy with this reel, and the only reason i say 99% is from my retail experience some years ago. You can provide a great product and great customer service. But there will always be at least one customer along the way, where it doesnt matter what you are willing to do. They will just never be satisfied. So to that customer, I say dont buy it. But to everyone else.. I say buy it especially while its on sale. You'll be happy you did!!

I bought this reel 3 weeks ago, so far I have noticed it's smooth reeling, and premium features like textured spool, and non slip handle. Some of these things may not seem like big must have features but this reel for its price a magnificent. The smooth reeling is great because you'll feel the thump immediately. The texture spool makes it so much easier to put line on the reel which can be a headache if you're new to fishing. that bring said it makes it a good reel for beginners due to price and ease of use. Additionally, the Non slip handle is great because it looks cool and feels good while reeling. the reel itself is a work of art. My wife kids and I love the colors shift, the little details all over the reel. This would make for a great Christmas present or a present to any fisherman no matter their expertise. I've owned many sougayilang products and this may be the best one so far. As I said, the texted reel is super nice, no slip custom handle is really nice, and the reeling is smooth. for this price I wouldn't recommend any other reel to any fisherman.
