Sougayilang Saltwater Trolling/Spinning Reel — 5.3:1, Stainless-Steel Body, Aluminium Spool, Ambidextrous with Adjustable Handle

Built for snapper missions and saltwater reliability in NZ

The Sougayilang saltwater reel gives you the toughness you need for harbour snapper and coastal bass sessions. A stainless-steel body resists flex and corrosion, the aluminium spool keeps things light and smooth, and the 5.3:1 gear ratio delivers a balanced retrieve for trolling passes, strayline rigs, or general spinning. Set it up left- or right-handed with the ambidextrous, adjustable handle, load your line, and head for the Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Plenty, Tasman Bay—wherever the bite is on.

Why you’ll like it

• Salt-ready strength: Rigid stainless-steel body stands up to salt, knocks, and big head-shakes.
  
• Smooth & light: Aluminium spool keeps inertia down for easier starts and steady drag release.
  
• Do-it-all 5.3:1: Versatile retrieve for trolling, ledger rigs, and inshore spinning.
  
• Set it your way: Ambidextrous design with an adjustable handle for comfort and leverage.
  
• NZ inshore specialist: Ideal for snapper and harbour bass, with the control you want around reef, weed lines, and current.
  

On-water performance

• Casting & retrieve: Consistent line lay on the aluminium spool helps reduce wind knots and keeps the retrieve positive when working soft-baits or bibbed lures.
  
• Trolling control: The mid-speed gear ratio makes running lures beside the boat simple, with enough torque to keep pressure on during long pulls.
  
• Boat, kayak, or wharf: Compact, durable build suits small boats and kayak milk-runs as well as rock and wharf sessions.
  

Setup tips (quick start)

1. Rod match: Medium or medium-heavy inshore rod rated for your line class.
   
2. Line choice: 15–30 lb braid for snapper/bass with a fluorocarbon leader; mono also works for trolling shock absorption.
   
3. Drag & handle: Set drag to roughly a third of line breaking strain; extend/adjust the handle for leverage.
   

Care for saltwater gear

• Rinse lightly with fresh water after each trip; avoid pressure jets.
  
• Dry and wipe the body, spool lip, and handle knobs.
  
• Lube periodically (line-roller/handle bearings) and back off drag before storage.

FAQs

Is it genuinely saltwater-ready?
Yes—the stainless-steel body and corrosion-aware design are built for salt. Always rinse and dry after each session.

Will the 5.3:1 feel fast or slow?
It’s a balanced, mid-speed retrieve—quick enough for spinning, with the torque you want for trolling and fighting snapper.

Left or right-handed?
Either. The ambidextrous handle swaps sides and adjusts length for leverage.

What line capacity does it have?
Capacity varies by reel size and line diameter; match braid/mono to your target and rod rating. (Your retailer’s size chart will give exact numbers.)
