Sougayilang Fly Fishing Rod and Reel Combination Set

MichaelMichael: For the price you can’t beat it! Great drag response. Solid reel construction and build quality. The rod feels great and has a balanced cast, very impressive!!!

Henry: Good for beginners. Would be nice if backing and fly line already in the reel. Heavier rod than another brand from amazon.

Alexander Petrash: I have never tried fly fishing before and instead of paying 1400 Euro like my friend, i paid only 110 for this setup incl. delivery charge. Of course it is far from what my friend bought, tested both rods, but i have managed to outcatch him, i have trained to flyfish without worrying to break or damage my rod. Overall i have had fun flyfishing and simultaneously learned how to cast. Best starting kit for buck. Flybaits that come with the set are not so good in terms of quality, but still yielded some fish

David Mccraney: I've been fly fishing for about 50 years, I bought this as a general purpose rig for my wife, who is a beginner. This is a fantastic beginner rig. The rod is a little heavy but it casts sweet, it's just effortless to cast accurately -- it'll reward good technique. I've always thought of fly fishing reels as glorified line holders, this is a *really* nice, lightweight line holders with a drag that works. The line will be fine for your first season. The flies aren't very helpful but the box will be handy. All in all a great value.

Ronald: Hab mir das Set als Einsteigerequipment gekauft, um mal ins Fliegenfischen reinzuschnuppern. Ca 90,- waren preislich ok, was soll schon schiefgehen? Naja, doch einiges. Die mitgelieferte Schnur ist so weit ok, jedoch nichts besonderes (WF6F), Backing (20 lb Test) ist auch in Ordnung. Fliegen sind nicht wirklich zu empfehlen, schleißig gebunden, stumpfe Haken oder gebrochene Ösen etc.. Die Rolle ist für dieses Preissegment doch recht gut, keine scharfen Kanten, Bremse läuft weich an, Links und Rechts verwendbar (man muss nur das Lager umdrehen). Die Tasche ist sauber verarbeitet, viel mehr ist da auch nicht zu sagen. Das Problemkind ist die Rute, zumindest die, welche ich erhalten habe. Vom werfen her angenehm und lädt sich auch schön auf. So weit das positive. Negativ wäre: unsaubere Wicklung am Spitzenring, wo eine Epoxidnase vom Kleber abstand, an der man sich die Finger aufschneiden bzw die Schnur beschädigen könnte. Das Hauptproblem war an meinem Exemplar aber der Griff, welcher nur am Rollenhalter verklebt ist und sich somit drehen lässt. Weiters riss der Kork der Länge nach, und das bei nur 3 Stunden am Wasser. Der Spaß wurde dadurch schon etwas gebremst.Mein Set...

Ace1/9: Zu erst einmal sollte man sich bewusst seim dass es sich um ein Set für unter 90€ handelt und somit keine Wunder erwarten sollte.
Für wen ist ein solches Set meines Erachtens gedacht? Für Leute die das Fliegenfischen erst einmal ausprobieren möchten oder eine günstige Reiserute für den Urlaub suchen und dafür geht das Set auch in Ordnung.
Trotzdem einige Punkte die mir nicht so gefallen:
Die Rolle soll laut Hestellerangaben auf linksabruf stehen, wurde mir auch per mail vom Händler bestätigt.
Trotzdem bin ich der Meinung das das nicht stimmt denn sonst hat die Bremse keinerlei Wirkung.
Desweiteren hat die Rolle an den Fräskanten sehr, wirklich sehr scharfe Spähne! Haben problemlos in den Daumen geschnitten!
Habe diese mit einer Schlüsselfeile entgraten müssen!
Wenn die Rolle für einen Anfänger schon nicht bespult ist, könnte man doch wenigstens angeben wieviel Meter backing bei der WT6 Wurfschnur darunterpasst. Selbst auf Nachfrage hin bekam ich die Antwort „ nach eigenen Ansprüchen“ - Toll also Backing drauf, Wurfschnur drauf - passt nicht also Alles wieder runter und noch mal. Dreimal bespult bis es halbwegs gepasst hat! Echt...

Mattkins99: I bought an 8wt setup to get back into fly fishing after nearly 25 years.

The reel. It’s pretty. It holds line. The tensioner is a bit finicky. I’d very sensitive and finding the sweet spot is difficult but you get a gel for it after a while. You have to as it comes loose very easily. It’s workable and I’d forgive any flaws because it’s pretty.

The rod: good feel but I’m basically a beginner so I don’t have much of a baseline but generally it feels good. The cork handle though wasn’t glued well to the rod causing the handle to wobble slightly. This was VERY annoying. A razor blade to the cork and some epoxy with a mixing tip fixed this. It’s not pretty but you wouldn’t notice unless you were really looking. Last the alignment dots are useless. Most sections the dots are only on one side so… what’s the point? They don’t line up with the eyelets either. Whoever makes these obviously doesn’t fly fish.

The line. Wrong weight. It came with 5wt line, not 8wt. I didn’t expect the line to be good but holy crap did it cast bad. I tossed it and the leader in the trash after one outing (I didn’t really give the leader a chance but YouTube...

Satisfied Customer: Keep in mind you are paying for a great value rod and reel with a case. Can't beat the price. If your package arrives missing any of the other items don't worry. The rest of the stuff is trash anyway (except the backing, Dacron is Dacron). Throw everything else away. Order fly line, leader, tippet, flies and fly box from your favorite real fly shop. If you HAVE to use the crap that came with then here are some tips: 1. cut the small diameter "tippet" part of leader off and use just the butt section (the 'tippet' part will just break off anyway) and tie on some real tippet that you get from the fly shop. 2. Slide the bodies of all the flies down to the barb, put a drop of superglue on the hook shank, then slide the bodies back up on the shank ( the flies are not tied properly and will end up at the hook barb after the first cast anyway) 3. If you are so hard-up that you HAVE to use the fly box, then use it while saving money for a real fly box (you will only have about 3 weeks before the hinge breaks so start saving). 5 stars for the great buy on the rod, reel and case AND it arrived quickly. These three items are well built and will last as long as you care for them properly.

Ed: I am new to fly fishing and on a budget. I'm not sure what a $300+ rod feels like, and I likely never will. That said, this rod performs great but really benefits from a 6 weight line. Has a nice flex that can toss dry and wet flies, as well as smaller articulated streamers well. The reel doesn't quite hold as much as I would think but is very functional and comfortable and definitely has a larger capacity than is likely necessary. Especially where and how I fish. The case is nice and has a good sized pouch for some accessories. The backing line is fine and functional. The fly box is of decent quality and holds a good amount of flies, but it absolutely functional. The foam doesn't heal very well though and will wear out and the box will need to be replaced. It's a great starter box.

Now, the bad... The clippers are almost adequate but not good. The fly line is pretty ok, but I am certain it is more like a 4+ weight line and not quite a 5 weight, too light for the rod in my opinion. The loop braid gizmo to add on the end of the line is useless. It came off by casting and not a fish pulling it off. The leader is ok for small dry flies and will get you started but that's about...
