Sougayilang Spinning Reels 10000 Series Surf Fishing Reels,10+1 Stainless BB Ultra Smooth Powerful with CNC Aluminum Spool Fishing Reels for Saltwater Freshwater

Compared to a penn they are probably sized at about 7000 range. 10000 is a little oversized for what it really is. On most rigs the only difference between a 7000 - 10000 range is the spool capacity and the main frame is almost the same. This reel will work on anything from big cats and striper bass to good sized sharks. The drag is great with plenty of adjustment for the exact drag tension needed. At first glance you would expect it to be at least a 100 dollar reel. Now the difference between a Penn and this reel would be for example: Your rigs falls into the rocks off the peer and the penn gets bent up alittle, while this reel would be more apt to break compared to the penn body. When it comes to catching fish they will both fill the boat. If your a professional get the Penn. If you fish less than 50 times a year you will love this reel, and most pro's I believe would find it to be a nicer reel certainly better than the average wal-mart stuff.

Ive used twice on the beach . Cast very far. Yet to catch anything. So far so good for price. Comes with parts list how to card also came bag. Came good packaging . It's bigger then I thought .Dylan 10000.came in very next day no extra cost.

The bolt that holds on the knob on the real handle, fell out while in a rod holder going down the road on the way to the beach. If anybody reads this and those rack and get another one, let me know. Other than that, it’s the best real I’ve ever bought.

I used two of these reels on 2 separate salt water off-shore charters, mainly deep water dropped bait use, but some limited casting. They held up well, and had no problem handling 20+ pound Red Snapper and King Mackerel. I had no mechanical issues or breakdowns with either reel. Would they hold up to daily, hard use is a different question. But for my limited salt water fishing availability (live in the mid-west, visit coast 1-2 times a year) they fit my needs at a reasonable cost. I also used one reel to catch several 15+ lb. freshwater catfish with no issues this past summer.

Update #2 - 4/4/2022 I am putting my 5 stars back. The seller sent me the item without any question. Unfortunately, it was the wrong part. Yesterday 4/3/2022, I received the correct part. They let me keep the wrong part and I did not pay a single penny for it. What can I say? Excellent customer service. Thank you so much seller HOLY KNIGHT! Goodluck! I hope you get more customers. YOU ARE ONE OF THE BESTS! Updated March 6, 2022. I changed my rating from 5 to 3. This morning I lost the thing that locks the handle. See the picture I uploaded. I have no clue that it went loose. I am trying to contact the seller to see what are my options. I hope they sell this lock. I am not planning to buy this again. Below is my original review just an FYI. This is probably the best reel I have purchased. I have used this with my surf fishing maybe at least two times already. It was always soak and wet with salt water but so far I don’t see any rust. I am using 80lb braided line with no issue.

I bought 2 of these & I have put them through the ringer; landed a 6ft tiger shark, multiple 30lb+ redfish & been spooled off so hard that the reel was hot to the touch, twice! Yet, it still reels as smoothly as the day I opened it up. It is the best, most durable big game spinning reel I have ever seen.

If I could give it less I would, cheaply made, bought to try out for sturgeon fishing, hooked a 5ft sturgeon with this 10k reel a d within the first few cranks the handle broke, cheap allthread of the reel handle lock stripped out

The reel is very nice. Just wish I could use it. It came without the piece that locks the handle to the reel. Not sure what they call it. Got the reel 2 weeks ago. Contacted seller and still haven’t heard back.
