Sougayilang Fishing Reel Spinning -12+1BB Ultralight Smooth Powerful Spinning Reels for Freshwater Saltwater Bass Fishing

I purchased the DK1000 reel for an ultralight rod. I'm spooling it with 4lb test. I have purchased and used several other reels over the years with an ultralight setup. This reel is amazing for the price. I'm glad I decided to take the chance based on the reviews I read. Fit, finish, and construction is easily on par- if not better than other reels I have paid twice as much for. I can't comment on how it will last as I just opened the package, but I am really impressed with the initial feel and operation of this reel. There are a few small plastic parts on the outside of the reel, it is not 100% metal construction. However, the reel has a quality feel and a very sharp look. Put a known brand name on this reel and it would definitely command a price that is easily more than double what they are selling for. If you are looking for a solid and smoothing operating and sharp looking reel for not much money.... I can't imagine doing any better than this. In fact, I can't imagine doing as well as this for so little cash. This is a smooth operating reel. No clicks or rubs when cranking the reel and it has a definite quality feel.

Actually super good for the price! Casts smooth and reels like butter. Little on the large size but definitely happy.

This is a fantastic reel for under $20! The action feels so nice and even the stop doesn't stop only at one point. Wherever you stop spinning that's where it locks. Better than my old Shimano. I did think the reel was a little smudged and the finish was not super high quality. Nothing that would snag a line or anything like that just not acceptable for a $50 reel. Thankfully this was sub$20!! I cleaned it and re-oiled it and it's just lovely. It shouldn't need that, thus the loss of a star

Excellent quality reel. Much better than expected! The price is amazing. I ordered the 1000 and I am THRILLED with it. Smooth operation, light, yet very sturdy.

This reel is amazing! I had one I bought from a store and there was nothing wrong with it. But this reel is so smooth while casting it. It looks pretty darn good as well. I love that you can change left and right. It is very simple to change. My husband always puts the lines on the reels, but I did it this time and it was so easy. This thing is literally so smooth in every aspect I couldn't believe it. Reeling in fish is a breeze. The gears in the reel are easy to adjust. I only fish for bass with it because that is the only thing stocked in the pond besides accidentally getting a snake one time, and no there is no video of that lol. This reel on my pole has been nothing but a dream to use! My hubby is holding the fish I caught. I received this product at a discounted or free rate in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.
