Looks like some good stuff! I have a new rod and some baits that I bought and gave to my wife to give to me for Christmas. She bought herself a new handbag and gave it to me to give to her :). Everyone wins and gets what they want. Ha! And it's a great time to be a beer drinker. So many great flavors out there. I had noticed your Sierra Nevada plaque back there on the wall :). Cheers!
Yeah, it seems as we get older there's less "surprise" in our gifts. But we always manage a few. I know my wife bought at least 3 things fishing related. amd at least 1 focused on the UA-cam channel! So can't wait to share about that! And Sierra Nevada was definitely one of my 'gateway" beers to better stuff! Enjoy your new Christmas gifts!
I've been using Aliexpress lures for a while now. The quality of the lures has really progressed throughout the years. Some are great. Some are not so great. The quality of the hooks and split rings has definitely gotten better over the years. Usually if the lures look good and cost alittle more, they usually work better. I've had good luck with some of the smaller topwaters and crankbaits.
Agreed. I think they can be very good, and it's a nice way to experiment a little. It just takes some planning to stay stocked up during busy fishing seasons. So far, none of them have made it into my "top lures" rotations though.
Compare to what I spend on JDM lures and tackle , my wife would be happy that I’ve found a cheaper alternative 😁. Also keep in mind that some of the expensive lures are actually made in China as well.
Great video I use aliexpress in new water ways I have no idea what to expect. I wonder if those hellgrammites float? Lately PayPal and my bank have been blocking me from buying from aliexpress maybe that's their way of saying chill out 😆 🤣
Love how excited you got about the lil hellgie. Owwww! 😂 Great stuff as usual Aaron. Thank you.
Thanks. I guess I was a little surprised - always hard to tell when ordering online! Appreciate the support.
Thanks Aaron. Great finds and thanks for putting the links in the description. Made it easy for me to stock up. Woo hoo.
No problem. Have fun and good luck!

True. Their quality is not quite up to par as the JDM brands or even most US brands. But they are much cheaper so i don't mind.
my experience with cheap lure is not good😅 you need to check first hooks and how it's moving in the water. But some are ok with small improvements😁
Good point! We'll see how these do! Appreciate your support.
Is it possible to get the links on Aliexpress for each lure .
Thank you
I'll do that tonight!
Het there: Links added with chapters for the video. Enjoy!
For trout in deeper ponds I like the old fashioned Jenzi Tasmanin Devil ! ( no Ali stuff )
well that is an interesting lure! May have to give it a try!

Exactly. Sometimes these look and perform nearly identical!
Did your wife have you order in her purse? Lol. Mine tend to get the mail and forget them in her purse sometimes lol
Nah, we have a spare room we put Christmas gifts in this time of year. ;)
@@AaronHuntFishing I see. Make sense why packages might go missing if thought to be Christmas gifts.

Lol. Good question - I know the Nikko's do.
Hey, when did your channel name change? Threw me off a bit! Hopefully we can connect IRL somtime in 2023.
@@AaronHuntFishing two days ago lol 😆 probably should have made a post it 🤣 name change because I noticed I'm not just custom painting lures anymore
@@The_Multi-species_Angler OK - i feel good I hadn't been oblivious for weeks! LOL! Best of luck!
