2025 HISTAR GIU CARBON REVIEW | ALIEXPRESS VS SHIMANO

[@TackleCrew]

Have you tried any Aliexpress reel? Which one?

[@gislijonkristjansson5547]

Yes. Including original Shimano and Daiwa reels. Many good Chinese companies are selling fantastic good reels now. Expecially BFS baitcaster reels. Their own brands. Lot of reviews on KZbin. 👍🐟

DMK/Purelure MllEC Silver Feather (DC) reel is my favorite Aliexpress reel. Casts like a Shimano DC, but smaller profile/package and does 1-20g just fine.

Nice!

Jag tycker faktiskt att rullar från aliexpress kan vara ett utmärkt komplement i sin arsenal för abborrefisket där man kan behöva minst 4-5 olika setups för att kunna hantera olika situationer. Man kan ha sin/sina favorit tekniker med dyrare prylar och komplettera andra tekniker med billigare grejer. Man kommer mycket längre på att ha 3-4 billigare setups än en high end setup.

[@TackleCrew]

Yes 👍🏻

I will choose either Chinese or premium Japanese. Budget Japanese (Curado, SLX, Tatula,...) or Korean (Abu) are waste of money. Chinese premium is cheaper than budget Japanese, but the Chinese are much better caster and feel.

I have the other two versions. They cast better than my Alderbaran 2016 and Alpha air 2020. But not as smooth retrieving. I will buy this version very soon

Yeah it’s crazy that these cheap reels can outcast those highend reels
