- Answering whether using braid form china stores like AliExpress and temu is a viable option for pike, perch and zander fishing.
A lot of videos out there have fun with the cheap products available for fishing on AliExpress or Temu but never really dive in to the actual idea of using products from there seriously for fishing. I'm currently working my way through 3 different braids I bought from AliExpress in hopes of finding some actually good braid for a fraction of the price.
There's a quick run down of the 3 braids I ended up buying as well as my first few fish on the lighter option.
Perch and pike in this one!

I've used the Angryfish for all my sea fishing from a boat for a year now with no issues. It's best good line.
@@FreeSpeech1959 I recently downsized my line on my light setup and I really want to swap back to the angry fish stuff
I've bought a lot of braided line from Amazon. Cheap Chinese stuff. Caught a lot of big striped bass on 30lb line. Would recommend it.
I'm certainly finding it's working fine. I'm using the lighter stuff I mention on this video on 3 rods now. it's held up for months after catching plenty of pike, perch and Zander.
I just paid $1 for 30lb braided line. New to braided line so I wanted to test it without going broke lol. Just waiting for it to show up
let me know how you get on when it does
Rikimaru braid is probably the best braid I’ve tried so far pretty cheap stuff
I'll keep my eyes out. looks like they offer some pretty thin options.
I found temu braid tangles and breaks easily.....unless it's me.
I definitely don't think all braids are built equally and a few, especially from these types of sites, are definitely not great. It's the one part of my tackle I'm generally pretty sceptical about skimping on, but with costs of braid almost doubling over the last couple of years I had to test some out.
The lighter ANGRYFISH option in my video has blown me away (so much so I've since ordered some more) - at this point I've got it spooled on 3 reels and have caught loads of pike, perch and the occasional zander on them without any issue at all. I am after some thinner stuff at the moment for my BFS setup, but as far as I've found I'm going to be limited to some branded stuff for anything decent
I am a little concerned based on initial impressions on JOF one, I'm yet to test it much during actual fishing sessions, but I found it to not hold up to it's rating, at least on the first few meters on the spool - it did seem better after this, but that put me off enough initially to not have massive confidence in it - I'll definitely test it more soon and get an update video out.
I think this type of thing will happen across all products from sites like this, but there's some absolutely great products out there if you either know what to look for (or find a brand that seems to produce decent stuff) - Keep your eyes out for future videos I'll be testing out BFS reels, rods and lures from these sites very soon.
Thanks for watching.
@@LG_FishingI have a buddy who drifts for catfish and catches some huge catfish and flat head and he uses all that jof he got on AliExpress 60 lb says it works great and has not broke any lines with fish on since he's got it he has eight poles out the back of the boat so wanted to try a cheaper option some of his catfish friends told him the jof stuff is what they runs and had good luck
What do you think, anything you've bought from AliExpress, Temu or similar that you were surprised with, either good or bad.
Keitech copy lures from Ali Express have been excellent. Pretty much exactly the same at a fraction of the cost 👍
@@leftmono1016 I've got a few clones in my stash, including an easy shiner equivalent. Whilst quality of them doesn't seem quite as good as the originals (and I'm sure there's some material differences we should be considering) I've still caught plenty of fish on lures like this.
I've had really good sessions on keitech lures in the past but they also seem to have gotten fairly expensive recently, especially for soft plastics.
@@LG_Fishing - yeah Keitech have become expensive, and it’s not always easy to get the colours you want. Pink has been good for me with perch and chub.
I tend to use the swing impact and swing impact fat, although my pb perch was caught on a 5 inch easy shiner with a 5/0 hook whilst trying for pike.
The Ali Express copies are very supple and swim nicely. I’m sure they’re not quite as good, but around 90% there.
@@leftmono1016 I'll check pink out. It's not a go to colour for me. I usually find suppliers seem to be dropping natural colours in favour of bright or UV ones which I'm not quite as much a fan of.
@@LG_Fishing - pink white and natural for me. Subscribed btw, keep up the good work 👍
