Sougayilang Baitcast reel from Temu unbiased review and first trip impressions. Next update in fall

Well I decided to try this reel because there was a time that I needed to use budget gear and I wanted to see what is available now. I just retired my budget Shakespeare Excursion reel that lasted me almost 20 years and caught more bass than any other reel I have. So yeh I have a spot in my rotation for economical gear.
I will say this reel is a winner so far and I really hope that it makes it to the fall review. After a while I forgot it was a reel that was purchased on Temu, and it caught the fish and got them to the boat.

I grabbed 2 more based on the one outing before they disappeared. Will be getting them on the water this weekend. Thanks for watching and hope it works well for you.

@@xavier7566 2nd trip for the first reel I purchased and there is not a lot of adjustment on the drag, which isn’t all that unusual on a BC but less adjustment then my Lews crush. I did have the line get off the spool and wrap around causing a mess. I looked for a side plate release and couldn’t find one and made a bigger line mess. Finally found there is no release switch just held by magnets. Good to know for future. So basically it’s a smooth reel for now that catches fish, but the tolerances are a little loose on it. For around 15 bucks a good reel, not replacing my better stuff though. Don’t hate them though.
