Sougayilang Bait Feeder Spinning Reels,33Lbs Drag Carp Fishing Reel Front and Rear Drag System, Freshwater Fishing Reel for Live Liner Bait Fishing for Catfish Fishing

I have 3 of these. I absolutely love them for carp fishing. Its so efficient to be able to flip a switch when you grab it out of your rod pod and your drag is set to fight a fish. Strong drag and smooth reeling. These have been in water, sand, mud, and just about anything else around a body of water. A quick cleanup and your good to go. Always do a maintenance look over in the spring but have had no issues whatsoever.

I've was skeptical at first but I have nothing bad to say about this reel. At half the price of my usual reels it holds up just as good. The casting isn't as smooth but it doesn't turn me away from them. The drag is good. Weight its good. All in all a good budget reel.

It’s good and smooth I used them for catfish in the Missouri River. I’ve yet to hook a fish bigger than 10lbs but it handled it like a champ so I’ve ordered another. Love the bait runner feature works great with a good pole holder. No more fish pulling in your rod.

Great reel for the money.

This reel works great. I've brought it on a trip to Hawaii as well as a week in Florida on the ocean side and it's handled the salt like a pro. I haven't hooked into any massive fish but it's handled the smaller ones no problem. The salt hasn't taken a toll on it as far as I can tell. I didn't rinse it at all for the week in Hawaii until I got home and it's still quite smooth reeling. I've had it for just about a year now and if I needed another reel this size, I'd definitely buy it again.

The reel is great. It looks good, and can do some heavy lifting. The baitfeeder feature is perfect for the river fishing I do. The fish takes the bait and feels no resistance while there is an audible clicking to let you know a fish is on, then bam, just reel down hard to set the hook! It's a little cheaper than the Okuma reel I've been using but does the job equally well. I'll be ordering a few more for when I take people with me. *Update* the first picture is a 53" sturgeon and the second is a 64" I caught about a week later. The reel handled the first one really well but even with the drag completely maxed out the larger fish just about peeled every foot of line I had on the spool off before I was able to make any progress bringing it back in. I still landed the fish and it was an epic fight, but I think I've found the max (or more) that the reel is designed to handle. I hope they make one with a 50lb drag in the future, but I still highly recommend this one to anyone trying to hook up to some monsters.

Reel seems to be OK. Have not tried for live bait yet, but casts nd retrieves well for Texas rigged worms. Other reviews mention how high the spool goes and indeed it does. Also, when the sppol if off to tying or switching lines, the main gear is very free moving and falls off the main spindle bolt easily.

Like the dual drag options and price of this model. Liked how smooth it is. So impressed Idecided to buy 2, 3000 models, and 1 2000 model. They don't have the double drag, but I'm using for bait fish. Perfect!!

Line gets stuck under the spool. Since spool is missing 50% of its cover lol

Nice 👍
