    I just wanted to say that you're the first fishing video I found today where respect is shown to the fish. The respect I have for you unhooking and releasing the fish before talking about the rod is unquantifiable. Keep on keeping on man, that's a sub from me.
    On another note, yeah I've bought stuff off Temu. Their quality is about what you expect, so pay what you think is a fair price for what you're buying, but overall I haven't ever bought something that was a total scam. The closest thing I bought like that was a 70 liter backpack for $12 and it has some quality control issues but overall it's a damn good backpack for $12. Just keep in mind that what you buy off these sites tend to be mass produced and then sold in America under more well known names, like that old Bell & Howell flashlight for example. If it looks like a knockoff, it's most likely just the same product but cheaper because it isn't being resold with branding on it.

    I have bought a bunch of stuff off Temu, and for the most part it has not been too bad. Their hook sizes are always way smaller than the standard sizes we have here in the states, they are super cheap hooks for the most part, so don't expect them to hold up to big fish. You also have to really keep an eye on the sizes and quantity that they give on the web pages for pretty much any of the baits you might want. Most of them tend to run on the smaller size, and the soft plastic baits are bad for that. The stuff is what it is though and some of it does work fairly well to catch fish with. The reel that they sell have been hit or miss for me. Some have been really good and some have been pretty bad, but I have found that like anything else, the more you pay for it, the better the quality it seems to be. That being said, I have still gotten some really decent reels in the $20 to $30 range. I have been buying stuff from there since June of 2023 and I have not been scammed yet, but I have gotten some really cheaply made things. It it worth it you ask, I would say sure, as long as you understand you are not getting high end goods for a cheap price. If you expect cheap stuff, you may find that some of it is actually a little better than you expected it to be, or it might be a little worse. It all depends on what you are getting.
    It is a great place to get stuff for kids, beginners and for people on a budget. Get some stuff and try it out, you might actually be surprised at what you get. :)
    Oh, and I am not sponsored by them, I just like to buy and try out cheap fishing stuff. lol.

      someone in china said usually temu is stocked with lower tier fishing gear. he said lures are about the same but way cheaper in china and ppl will use 20+ lures in a trip bc they rather have more disposable ones. on the other hand rods and reels in china of course have mid and high tier qualities. my guess is they rarely export them since the brands and marketing can’t compete internationally and they rather manufacture mid and high qualities reels for bigger brands. for their domestic market they get very high quality rods and reels for very cheap compared to big brands in the west and japan. i forget the term he used but basically they value affordable luxury or something

    I live in Sydney Australia and like all other posters agree with " watch the size of what you order.. ".. I don`t buy fish hooks .. or fish line.. or rods .. but all those other bits of terminal etc I have and have no issue with them... I do take into count the cost to match it with the item and don`t expect it to be top shelf... But I am more than happy with what I have bought.. Delivery has been spot on...

    I bought a ton of stuff from Temu this winter and am just getting a chance to use the fishing gear now. Caught my first three carp a couple of days ago on dough bait hooks from Temu, and home made dough. I have several Temu reels and one was crap but the others seem fine. I think some of the reels have been in storage long enough that the lube is dry, so if you do some maintenance right away it is all good.

    @bonnie062 2 місяці тому +1

    Not every rod on temu is great but if youre spending 20+ on one its gonna work and last you, i have 3 billings reels which is a brand found on temu that sells great panfish to bass fishing reels for around $10. The drag on those reels actually work better than the ugly stik reel i got with my gx2 and the reels are way better than anything you can find in the walmart aisles that are plastic, trust me just buy an aluminum reel. If you dont wanna worry about rust dont, unless you fish saltwater but at that point you aint gonna wanna be playing around with plastic lol. ive never taken proper care of my reels besides the occasional clean and regrease and ive never had grime issues. Also proberos braid is like $4 for 309yds, cheaper than any braid youll find in stores for sure, the color runs off pretty fast but fr why does color matter? The green braid stays green and the white stays white, really that's all you need. I have a ton of temu fishing gear i never leave the house without and it hasnt done me wrong. I fish a large river thats very pressured so you really need to know your way around the bass, some of the temu lures ive bought have genuinely blown me away with how effective they are, my pb largemouth out of this river is 3.88lbs, and pb smallmouth is a 3.4. both off temu lures. Ive never really been the best at fishing, but if you know what youre doing it can be idiot proof

    China is a major player in the civil manufacturing industry. 'Scam' could happen, but today, people perceive 'scam' as low quality. The idea is that if you pay more, you get better quality. Even products in America are made in China. However, the same product in China and the US can cost more because American businesses choose different materials, which is why they are more expensive. If you all go to Taobao or Tmall to buy those expensive rods, they won't be any different from American rod brands.

    I bought what was advertised as a surf fishing rod, 10 feet. What came looked like a carp fishing rod with tiny rings. I changed them to normal rings and went to the beach. Three 10 inch cat fish and one 15 inch snapper later the rod snapped about 10 inches above the reel.
    I still have the 4000 size reel, works great and cost me $13. I bought this in 2019. With the reel it has to be pampered, washed off every time, opened and cleaned every month and keep an eye on the nut that keeps the handle in place. Unscrews itself.

    Their scam is every time you order your minimum purchase price is increased.

      @@staceyhartman6825 if I buy local (Australia) there is no minimum. I questioned why there is a minimum from overseas and Temu said it’s to save the environment by not shipping multiple small products. It’s all bullshit but anyway.

      I have bought a couple of their reels and they are pretty good for the price. They are smooth and work well on big fish. Not sure how long they will last but great for spare reels
