[@Spector06111]

Just recieved my order of $100 AUD worth of fishing lures mainly saltwater metal jigs, stickbaits, poppers and few shallow diving lures and am impressed on the quality. Sure some of the lures have cheap treble hooks but for the price of the lures I’m getting way more bang for buck 👌🎣

[@turtlesoup8134]

I am a fishing tackle designer in China. Those items featured in this video are actually overpriced for the quality. The hard lures and spinner baits retails around 40 cent each in China, while the soft lures are not sold in packs but sold according to the total weight which cost much cheaper than the price mentioned in the video. The soft lures sold in China are usually of much smaller size than the lures sold in the US because it was designed to catch smaller largemouth bass in commercial ponds using super finesse technique. The clothes retails for around 10 USD in china and i can't comment on the rod and reel combo because those aren't sold in China. They are probably much cheaper here. I think what you guys are missing is the middle and top end fishing rods that are designed and produced in China. Those are the real deal: very top end quality similar if not better than shimano poison ultima series for usually about half or a third in price. The trend here is about affordable luxury rod instead of dirt cheap low end rods. The lures market is still dirt cheap since they are considered expandable. Most people here don't mind burning through 10-20 hard lures per fishing trip. They are that cheap.

[@ivanvedris9636]

wow, thanks for this post. have you heard about the Mifine company and what do you think of their rods? If so, can you comment on their MIFINE UNSTOPPABLE SPIN 30T UL rod? Thx

[@peterRobinson10101]

good info. which alibaba supplier for top end rods and which for tackle? who do you recommend?

[@turtlesoup8134]

@@ivanvedris9636 I am not aware of the mifine brand. It could be from one of the factories that have subbrands for overseas market. You have to be aware that there are many type of 30T blank construct. The percentage of 30T in the rod blank, the factory that it is produced and the type of 30T blanks matters alot. I checked that the mifine unstoppable is sold for 108 USD. This is not cheap for a 30T rod. Make sure you ask the seller what kind of 30T blank and what it is mixed with. My guess its a 30T and 24T mix. For that price you definitely can get a 30T/40T torray blanks from one of the 5 reputable factories in China. The guide should be at least Fuji alconite rings with an SIC ring for the tip. I also feel that the rod is missing many decorative aluminium parts which means it is saving cost on those and you should be getting more from the specs.

Y'all are losing 10 to 20 lures a trip. That's awful for the lakes yo no wonder the fish are smaller.....

[@turtlesoup8134]

@@flaminggorilla909 yes, as a lure designer I hate to see lures just becoming commodity and also hurting the environment in the process. On the bright side, anglers here are becoming more environmentally conscious as they become richer and the gov is also tightening the fishing regulation, sometimes too tight. Many natural waters are off limit to anglers to protect fish and environment. Many anglers are turning to commercial ponds instead.

I love the stuff I get from temu. Never waited more than seven days for delivery. I'll continue to order through the app.

[@matthewwayne1929]

Just found your channel tonight! I pulled the trigger about a month ago and decided to order some fishing gear off Temu. I was very skeptical at first.. 3 orders later my wife is making me uninstall the app and hand over the credit card .. I’ve got some great tackle trays, terminal tackle (swivels, snaps, split shots etc) but what really surprised me is some of the Baits .. I’ve had a few duds here and there, but man I wish Temu was around years ago! .. After seeing this video, I’ve ordered the chatterbait, that oblong weird shaped jerk bait, and the Shirt! Very informative and well put together video man, I look forward to the sub! Definitely check out their whopper ploppers if you haven’t already! Mine are identical to the River2sea name brand ones I ended up with 13 total all different colors! 🍻 🎣

[@MysteryKmt]

Ive had my eyes on those temu lures all week so this was right on time. Majority of the online reviews I've seen from the reddit anglers regard the aliexpress/amazon/temu cheap chinese tackle as trash and not worth the money whatsoever. Other youtube reviewers seem mixed. I would love to see a real in-depth comparison or even a torture test with the hooks and line. Saved money is made money I believe.

[@JoeOceanside]

Yeah I hear you. Sometimes you get what you pay for with Temu but I was surprised how nice some of these were. I don't really consider lures long term investments since you could snag them and lose them very easily. So if a $1 lure can catch a few fish before it rusts up I'll be happy. And the name brand stuff probably comes from the same factory in China and way 🤣

I ordered 500 yards of 25lb braided line from temu and the deal was for 89 cents lol and ive loved it so far. i was using power pro before this and I dont really see much of a difference. I spooled up 3 of my rods and 1 of my brothers with it and there is still a ton left over. We have caught multiple ~10 lb channels and a few 6lb pike and have had no problem getting them in. I have a slight temu addiction at the moment, its hard to resist buying something everytime they give you a 90% off deal.

[@ivanradun3345]

Hi Joe, I want thanks you for this video, this is actually the kind of videos i like to watch. Why? Because this is a kind of challenge to fish with random / cheap gears. As you speak in a completely understandable manner without an accent, I can understand and this is a completely appreciable plus for a non-English speaking person like me, a little Frenchman who learned English on his own. I hope that you will do more equipment testing soon, perhaps with fewer parts to test, perhaps simply baits so as not to have to make a long presentation of equipments. Thank you very much, and good luck to you.

The pliers looked pretty dodgy. I love carp fishing and Temu has the best carp gear around. Also have the best attractant substances to add to your boilie mixes. I am satisfied with everything ive bought from them EXCEPT for a few different rods. The long 9, 10, 12 foot surf rods they sell and are good for carp fishing suck. It's the tip section that's like 2mm thick and will snap off while fight a large bluegill. The eyelets are barely glued on an will fall off just taking them out of the packaging.

As a bait maker myself, I can tell you that you pay for what you get. Ofcourse I would ask for everyone to support your local bait makers as it helps the community. I digress. Fishing is all about triggering fish to strike. So if you're not confident in what you're using then you're just living a self fulfilling prophecy of failure. All your gear should compliment you as a fisherman. The cost to produce anything in the US will always drives prices to be much higher than those direct sale from China. A majority of anything you own is coming from China. Temu is no different but is direct sale from China to the consumer, no middle man to mark up price for profit. You'd want to fish higher end gear for that one fish that wasn't going to get away. There's nothing more frustrating than having your gear fail on you when it matters the most. Nothing is guaranteed even with top tier gear, they just increases its success than going with the cheapest stuff. Fish with confidence and you'll be fine. Your experts will agree with it and share what their confident with.

"If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" in this case Temu sells users data and profits far more from that than from the original sales.

Every social media platform and commerce website does that, including KZbin. That's why if you search for an item in the Amazon app, you will start seeing ads for similar items in Instagram and face book.

Even the products that are claimed to be made in the U.S. are only final assembled here and the raw materials are probably from overseas as well. Unfortunately, the manufacturing base in the U.S. has been hollowed out for a long time.

[@JoeOceanside]

I hear you on that, I used to feel similar. But now I'm pretty sure most of the big box stores and brands produce everything in China anyway and they sell to us at a markup. So we end up with the same Chinese produced product but marked up in price, and the corporation ends up with the profits. These corporations shipped the manufacturing overseas along time ago so they could squeeze out extra money for themselves with no thought long term what would happen to the average working man. Alot of the Chinese off brand products actually come from the same factory as the name brand ones, the factories are all tooled up to make a certain item, and when there are no orders for that SKU they go ahead and run the machines anyway and sell the products for private label or off brand knockoffs. So I think it's great we can finally bypass the middle man and get the products from the source. These "cheap" prices are what we should have been paying the whole time. Now if you can find local handcrafted, artisan fishing lures handmade in the U.S I would be all for buying from them, but that could get expensive quick.

Probably most of the products you buy are actually from China. The USA manufacturing base has mostly been shipped overseas so there really isn't much that is actually "made in America". Alot of companies say "assembled in USA" but that just means the parts are made in China, then the final assembly is done in America. The USA sold out its workers along time ago, so unfortunately most manufacturing has been done in China for a while now, and with enough experience they are probably getting better at manufacturing than Americans are

You seriously think that the fish care about that little detail on it? You pay 10$ extra for something that's absolutely useless, it looks better to you but not the fish, the fish doesn't give a shit. I don't have any of these cheap hard lures or anything but it's the reality, we're all the same, we spend way too much money on baits when you could catch the same amount of fish on something that's like 5 or 10 times cheaper. Buy whatever you prefer and want but don't say that these baits are to catch the fishermen when you know it's exactly the other way around, they catch your ass on a bait that costs 9 dollars but in reality that bait costed like 50 cents to make and if you paid a dollar for the same bait from china you'd get the same amount of fish as with the 9 dollar one.
