Temu has some good stuff at great prices and the service is excellent. I buy from them and have never been disappointed. I'm an old man and I feel like a little kid at Christmas time when I get a package in the mail.

I spent a little chunk of change with Temu playing a "rods and reels for everyone!" game to introduce some family members to fishing. You really need to do a video on the micro crankbaits that are only about one inch long. I think i paid like $5 for a 10-pack! Those little suckers catch EVERYTHING. All members of the bass family, slab crappie and bluegill, channel cats, drum, wallies. You name it.

I'll give them a try, thank you!

I have used Temu numerous times and had great experiences. If you are buying from China anyway, why pay a middle man. Make sure to look at the dimensions of product as the photos are not to scale.I use a bar of soap to lubricate all my telescope or two piece rods. You will find that line really blends in well with the water.

The Colour of the Line will change when it's in the water, & yes we do Diameter and Breaking Strain here in the UK, it states both on the spool.

I love the Sougayilang 2000 reals with 2lb or 4lb line on them, they are amazing for the price and because the spools are longer, they spread the line out more so that the line twist is not as bad!

Agree take a sougaykang and use diawa grease 1000 drags under the spool that makes them smooth I have ultegra penn and Abu Zata and the 2500 sougaylang has a smother drag I’ve caught 8 lb strippers And that little reel w power handle and knob does a great job. 20$ reel I put 10. Lb braid on it and even in shore red drum fishing

One of the best things about Temu is that you order it and it takes two weeks to come in and like you said, you forget what you ordered. So when you open the package, it’s like opening a Christmas present. It’s a big surprise!

Temu is not a bad place but you really have to be choosy what you buy from them . I just bought a fishing backpack/sling to set up for ultra light bank fishing and the quality of the bag including the zippers and how smoothly they operated totally exceeded my expectations and was much cheaper than an equivalent also made in China option from someplace like Amazon. I have ordered from them multiple times along multiple categories and have always been satisfied with what I received for the dollars spent and have always gotten my order way quicker than what their initial date was of my order to arrive.

I think the telescopic rod works best when you actually make the sound of a lightsaber when you open and close it.

Great reels. Always remember to oil reels out the box. I have that telescopic rod. You have to turn it to get it unstuck. I caught an 8lb salmon on mine. I own mostly Sougayilang reels and no problems so far.

Ive been importing their reels for a couple of years and so far I haven't had any issues Where do you think shimano and daiwa have their parts made 🤔

I bought 2 reels for my kids off Temu after my gear was stolen. They don't oil and grease the reels before they sell them. Bail wouldn't shut when you turned the handle. I greased and oiled them. One of them works.

Great video!

men doing Temu revel brilliant new sub!

Great reviews! The line isn't going on the spinning reel properly. It should come off the spool and go onto the reel in the same orientation to avoid twisting. The tool should work well on baitcasting reels though.

Does temu sell livescope?

what are you doing began rod use?

Great vid, the spool was the wrong way around on the winder. Run the line from the bottom of the spool to the reel....cheers

Tap on the tip with something light and spray a lil WD or silicone on it

If you feed the line through one of the loops of the pole, it would put proper tension on the line.

@thecrazylazycheapskatefish665

Yes. I clip mine further up the rod so the line passes through at least one or two eyes. Putting some foam or felt rings between the nut and the spool will help put eve attention on the spool without having to hold the line.

I bought a "combo" rod and real from Temu a couple of years ago and keep it under the back seat of my truck, just in case I come across one of those rare moments when I used to say "damn I wish I had my pole with me" I paid under 7 dollars for a Rod and Reel" You've got to take into consideration the cost and say "what the hell?" That's the cost of a fancy coffee!

Almost haha, black Kuhlis.

Better equipment usually helps in a smoother and sometimes more satisfying or even less stressful and possibly more successful fishing experience. In all honesty, a fish can be caught on a hand-held line with no rod or reel. Everything introduced into the gear ensemble is there to make catching fish easier and more pleasurable. I have some fairly nice equipment but nothing extravagant. I feel just like any sport, there are casual participants, professionals, semi-pros, and upper-scale amateurs who either feel they to spend a fortune on gear to catch fish, have cash burning a hole in their pocket, or are just plain snobs about high-end gear who just need an excuse to look down their noses at the rest of us just out there having fun with what we can afford. I have some Temu gear and I am fairly satisfied with it. Because of the horrific price of fishing equipment even before post-Covid prices, I have been planning to start making content on making one’s own lures, tying one’s own flies, building one’s own fishing and boating equipment, and more. I think the angler is getting pocket raped for what should be a pleasant, low-cost, stress-relieving hobby. Thank you for posting your review on one possible solution to what is quickly becoming a highly overpriced hobby. It ought not to be that way. It never used to be.

Thank you very much! I think you're right, fishing is whatever you want it to be, whether that's a high-end setup or just drowning worms off a dock and that's the beautiful thing about it.

The biggest problem in most every industry is even though I like doing business with American companies. All of their stuff is still manufactured in China, so what difference does it make? I wish that weren’t true and we had more American made manufacturing in the fishing industry. It’s kind of sad that we’ve all sold out to the Chinese. And it’s not really us as the consumers that have done it, but it’s major corporations that have done it and forced us to buy their stuff be cause there’s no other choice. One company I really like is Z man Baits and they have a big distribution center right here where I live so that does provide quite a few American jobs. Not sure about their manufacturing.

I have had no fishing equipment that has worked for me as far as Red Drum. Swivels , hooks and leaders have not held against fighting the Big Red Drums.

I don't mind waiting a week for cheap fishing tackle that I'm going to lose anyway. I love my $16 graphite flyrod; would cost over $2oo. here in the states.

You still had the line spooler way too loose. I've got one, and it works if you set the tension better. You shouldn't have line flopping around like that as you wind.

This was a good video, but for the love of god man there is an R in the English language!😂 Also the the company with the long S... name that made the reels is actually a really popular budget rod and reel company and they do make some pretty decent stuff for the money. I have a few things from them that I've gotten from the Amazon Vine program and it has all worked pretty good.

The line spooler works great if you use it correctly... You figured out how to attach it to your rod, but the threaded screw handle piece is only "STORED" in the end of the tool...proper use will have it inserted through the spool, deep or thin, then into the SIDE hole - one is threaded, the other is not - go through the none threaded hole and then thread into the threaded side - this will allow you to add as much or as little tension to the line as you want....It's not rocket science...or maybe it is in Minnesota....

I was able to stock my tacklebox using Temu at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost me elsewhere. Their swim baits are great! ❤

"Drop Ships" just means that they forward your order to the manufacturer and they ship it direct to you. This allows the website to not stock 56 Billion items, pack up each item or pay for the shipping to them. I think that a lot of items were copied from western brands that outsource production to China. So you're getting the same thing without the name and mark up. Of course if you buy a $10 reel the quality isn't going to compare with a $200 reel. Personally I never spend an amount that I'd have to cry about. But at $1.29 for 10 lures how can you lose ? And you're buying from China either way since western companies started using them way before we did.

You seem don't know how to use a telescope rod at all. You turn each section if it stuck. Not using force. The bottom cap is not storage section. It is for you to wash the rod if any sand gets into the rod.

Never open any telescopic rod like that wherever it is from. Even high quality rods will stick if you do that. Do not try to push back but twist slowly.
