Christmas Special! The crappiest reel I tested this year - Linnhue HT1000

I wonder if you can put that power knob onto another reel. Such a disappointment when you get a reel and it's immediately a disappointment. I guess flaming the reel can make for an entertaining video.

The power knob may be useful for older reels that use that pass through system. I'm not a guy that likes to sh*t in the products, but this is really crap, very hard to reel, even after I lubed it.

Idk what's better finding out about what's great or trash. Honestly trash probably so thankyou for being the guinea pig. I had bought the soloking " baitcasting 2000" and thought good things although the proce so cheap but I didn't even spool it,it's trash.

I can appreciate something that has a lot of quirks, if it works not all of us can shell $$$ to fish or want to spend $$$ to fish in a style that maybe they won't like. I've found some that are good compromises, this year will have a lot more of this! Testing a lot of affordable gear with a sprinkle of more expensive (hopefully worth it) solid options. But thanks for the comments! 🙏

Linnhue is trash and also Huidao or whatever that brand name is and if search sometimes the reels from huidao and linnhue are like the same or very similar 😢

And the worst part, they don't mention bb count or placement...

[@guts9888]

@@RicardoReview in the old times both brands would put 12+1 bb's but as soon as u touched the reel you would feel there is no 12+1 bb's, and you still see a lot of imitations of carson teben reel

@guts9888 this one says bearing 😂

[@guts9888]

​@@RicardoReview so at least there is one bearing. But the worst reel i had was one all made of plastic bought in a store not aliexpress from the brand herculy with 2+1 or 3+1 bb's. It didnt last more than few months. I was always feeling that the reel would break at any moment. Herculy is another brand that i don't recommend at least their niche of budget reels, that are all made of plastic. Thankfully i think there is no herculy reels on aliexpress.

@guts9888 I don't even know that one
