TEMU vs WALMART Budget Fishing Reel CHALLENGE (INSANE Topwater!!)

[@lojofishing]

Which one would YOU want??

[@ReelWithPope]

Either is great!

[@blueshell6744]

Do I hear a fishing live stream?

[@AndyDeBello15]

Either wouldn’t mind I’d use them in a tournament I love your videos

[@colbyvenable8193]

I would want the Ozark Trail.

[@_Sawatis]

ozark seems nice but i like the color of the temu

[@roberthern1111]

Love these budget challenges! What I want to see is a budget challenge at the most fished pond/lake in your area. Some of us can’t get out to the less popular areas and it’s tough !

[@MrSwtnceguy]

Love the challenge. Congrats to Andrew and wife on the new addition to the family.

[@JimTsoukas]

I really hate how fishing "experts" say you need to spend $300 for a reel and $200 for a rod to go fishing. Dont get me started about $50 for line. These budget stores are great for the casual fisherman.

[@elizabetholney7742]

Exactly now if it’s your job sure but a weekend hobby shouldn’t require you to drop a grand

[@raenkord7881]

Yeah if you just want to fish you can for sure save a lot of money, but if you have a specific technique in mind it does help to buy gear you know will get the job done. For instance I’m setting up a big swim bait combo, so I have to know that my rod and reel can handle the torque of a big fish, as well as the pressure of throwing a 1+Oz lure. Tht combo I have spent more money on than any other, but it’s because it has to do something specific and I’d rather buy something that’s got a higher price tag but is known for taking the a use vs a budget option that doesn’t have that record.

[@michaelvandeveer6172]

I learned how to use a baitcaster with a $60 abu garcia walmart combo lol

[@dain4160]

@@raenkord7881I have a $100 spinner combo, I’ve been using and catching big fish with for over 6 years now lol. Just need decent stuff that lasts, catching the fish is up to you!

[@lukepiz9430]

I have a 30 buck set up maybe even less (It work perfect)

[@cliftonmartin7185]

Thank you. I was used to casting with the right hand then switching the rod to the left. Watching you for a minute made my fishing with lures a lot more fluid casting and reeling with the same grip.

Doesn’t care if a tornados coming, Lojo still fishes. A true fisherman 🫡😂

[@gmc400ex]

What a day , tornado warnings, bucket mouth footballs. I’ll take the Walmart reel. Congrats on the baby Andrew🎉

[@loopster40]

The Lews Infinity baitcasters are also good. I have a orange XFISH one and it is smooth as heck. The most smooth reels I ever owned and I have had it near 2 years now. I will never get rid of it. I got it on sale for 40 dollars and at the time I should have bought the other two that were on the rack. They usually sell for 98 dollars at Walmart. And it has a medium heavy rod. Excellent budget rod and reel even for regular price.

[@joshwagner8468]

[@AnglerAdventureAlex]

Nice man great idea

[@lojofishing]

Coming soon!

[@robertnorris7176]

I agree.

[@bigdawg-cl2db]

I bought 2 of the baitcasters from Temu, $13 and $16. Mono on 1, braid on other. Had to tweak line tension a few times to get it right, but would expect than on any new reel. Two setups for price of one is a win for me.

[@enriquebraga4701]

How's the Temu set up holding up after 10 months and how often do you use it?

[@itsshaboi2328]

So happy lojo posted been running out of old videos to watch

[@CorbinOutdoors]

Always a great day when Lojo posts 🔥

You're the best!

Some coffee and a new LoJo episode is what we needed this morning!

Loving your videos CMO!!! Awesome 👊

[@blingbling9341]

Awesome budget comparison. Love that you tried same lures with multiple types of lines. Great job.

[@B-Rob-777]

Congrats Andrew!!! Excited for the micro pond visit

[@delaneydachenhaus5522]

i just got a baitcaster for my birthday and i absolutely love it!! but thats besides the point, ive been looking for a channel that i can watch for tips, but also watch for a laugh and i definitely found the channel i was looking for! keep it up LOJO!!

[@outdoorokie5372]

You should do a vintage rod and reel competition. Pawnshop finds or something like that

[@Heydude2020]

Been waiting for an upload! So excited to watch this !

[@andrepieterse2271]

18:08 Andrew's face is the juice😂🙌

[@-AndrewKing-]

That’s a normal face for me 😂

[@hobi-wan-kanobi2016]

After watching all these rod and reel challenges I’m convinced that it doesn’t matter the rod or reel you buy. It matter the type of lures you use and how you move it. The fish don’t care about the rod and reel the only thing they see is what you cast in the water. And if what you cast don’t move or look how they like they won’t bite. You could probly use your hand as long as you move it right 😂 unless they are starving then they won’t care they’ll eat anything 😂

[@WiscoLewis]

would love to see more of these challenges with spinning gear

[@scar65diflorio68]

If you are a casual fisherman then cheap is the way to go. When you are a serious fisherman you know you need a reel that will get the job done time after time where as the cheaper reels will not. I paid $300 for a shimano chronarch 35 years ago and I am still using it today. Remember you get what you pay for.

[@steviedchannel2574]

Congratulations on your boy who just had a kid , that's awesome !!! I have a son who is 16 and it's wonderful and scary all at once . And I like the Ozark Reel better. Lol gotta love Walmart store brand. Lol , Gr8 job LoJo can't wait until the next 1. 😊

[@donkeylikesdoracorps8256]

Love when you caught that bass on the first cast with the changed line when you just tossed the fish like it was nothin

[@dakahuna]

I have to admit that from both an esthetic as well as performance point of view I think the Ozark Trail appeals to me more than the Temu one, and I do a lot of shopping on Temu.

[@dirtydemon9723]

my day is made when lojo drops 🔥 🔥 💪 💪

[@Kjvoutdoors]

Always a great time when lojo posts!

[@noahledbetter3969]

Good video..I bought one the Ozark reels 5 years ago and I give it to whoever goes fishing with me and it has never messed up or failed!!! Not the best but definitely worth the money...

[@djradrs199]

I’m the ultimate budget fisherman !!! I fish Souygaylang reels $39.99 9 + 1 SS bearings 8.1 : 1 $49 Psicifun Rods $9 braid to PLine leader and catch the crap out of bass with no issues with casting distance or fish handling problems… I even have #65 line on one for my punch rod which is $89 😎. ……. Also have the same brand Spinning Reels So. Ya like to see that challenge / Side by side…. Since I’m a RAIDERS FAN .. The Silver & Black RAIDERS COLORS for the win

[@Xanderteeny]

A couple months ago I was fishing in a thunderstorm and the parks lightning siren(goes off when you should take cover because there's lighting in the park) went off and I thought it was a tornado siren, it was extremely fun because it was scary

[@bruceciers5954]

Should do the oppisite. Shimano antares vs daiwa steez a2 vs abu zenon vs lews gold ti vs kastking megajaws mag

[@crazykids2004]

That was great doesn't matter what type of gear you have people can still catch large fish what a scary situation of a tornado sirens amazing video as always I can't wait for the next one life is insane I'm excited for what is to come on this channel congratulations to Andrew and his wife

[@Jrcondones]

Man these videos always go hard 🔥

[@tonyhatfield6527]

Lol “cheap Chinese or even cheaper Chinese.?” 😂

[@mattodom6367]

I bought the ozark trail one once when I just really needed a new reel and the store didn't have much in stock. I thought it was great for a few days. My the end of my family reunion trip i was on, The handle kept coming loose. I drove back home and replaced the locknut but i noticed the nut wasn't the problem. The main shaft was in worse shape than the locknut. I thought ozark trail knocked it out of the park till an basically unreplaceable part stripped out in about 4 days of light fishing.

[@michaelmiddleton578]

...been told that I am committed for fishing in the rain -- but a Tornado????...lol....love it!!!!!! excellent video; if I had to pick -- would go with the Ozark -- but do love the colors.......

[@tjcrazyfishing]

I'd take either of them

[@mf25053]

Dammit LoJo!!!!! I got hooked on watching your channel and the shenanigans... then this old school walleye, perch and muskie fisherman decided to give baitcasting and bass another go. It's an addiction. The deep V hull is up for sale to get a bass boat and every puddle of water must be explored for potential bass. PB for largemouth went from 2lbs to 6lbs this weekend.

[@robertplett7065]

That lews reel you passed up is a great budget reel. It was my first baitcaster and I love it

[@soggyoutdoors723]

Content always killer!! Keep up the kicka$$ work brother

[@MikeyDolan]

I was fishing the Meramec River in Missouri and found one of those temu bait caster on the bank. The exact one you bought and the drag didn't work at all lol

[@danielputney6257]

I would like to see a mismatch challenge between you and Andrew. I'm talking like a zebco 303 on a 12' surf pole. I know it doesn't make sense, but you doing crazy stuff is what makes you great!

Sup lojo, 😊some great bass, when weren't hitting buzz in rain that much, was thinking poping frog lol, commented my experience in your question, id pick ozark trail any day, brother and i got temu reel, i think was $14 each? Mine fell apart on first fish a perch, my brother cought a bass, but his temu sounds like racecar, idk if can handle another fish? Ozark trail combos we got 2 years ago still work, i need another reel lol, finances wont even allow ozark trail.. understand life so can only make videos when can👍, tyvm tc 🎣

I like the comparisons and proves you can have fun on any budget! I would like to see a more equal reel challenge a $15 dollar reel isn't going to meet up to a $45 dollar reel but it did hold up. So would an equal cost temu reel surpass a store bought of the same value?

[@justinhale4220]

Man you laid the jabroni beating smackdown down on those bass brother. That tornado siren alerted the fish you were there and they turned on for you!

[@melissajohnson3547]

Great video. Big ole bass. Ive always sed spinning rea never used a bait caster. Liked the ozark it got the job done for you. How hard is it to use a bait caster for a beginner ive always been scared to use one because of bird nesting it ugh.

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I really love the Ozark Trail reel!! The Walmart in my area doesn’t even have a whole aisle of fishing gear, so I’ve never seen a reel like that in my store.

[@davidwilson9548]

Thank goodness you have put a video on 🎉 I was having withdrawal symptoms 😂

[@dye182]

Good vid. I actually got a black max abu for 46$ at Walmart. Smooth as butter Tried a temu bait caster and noticed the tension would loosen on its own never had so many back lashes on a reel. Would also love to see some more catfishing vids those are also super dope. Best wishes.
