Sorry for the length of time it's taken me to reply. I've had to put my channel on the back burner for a while due to work and other things, but I'm getting back on it soon. Thanks so much for the comment!! I feel like what sets me apart from a large percentage of other channels is, I'm here for the love of fishing and not chasing a dollar. I'm not sponsored and don't take free things. It's a wonderful thing to be able to speak from the heart and tell the truth, that can never be bought from me. So, if I feel it's trash, I'm calling it.

Nice video! Thanks for sharing with us. I personally think that Temu has some really decent stuff and some really cheap stuff. But for sure, you can't beat the crazy prices that they have. A lot of their things are worth buying and at least trying. If they don't work out, then you haven't lost much money. Keep up the good work buddy! Looking forward to more great content and adventures. And as always, #Hook&ReelFishing rocks!!!

I have found if I’m super careful examining the product photos and reviews on temu that I’ve had pretty good luck getting things that are pretty nice quality especially for the price . Sooo many things on temu have reviews that say “it’s smaller than I expected”… 😂

Thanks for watching and helping this small channel grow!! I set out in the kayak last weekend to do that video. It was so hot, and the bass just wasn't biting. I did get one good hit on the purple swimbait with the spinner in the center, but lost it. Thinking about changing all the hooks and getting some footage of their action, so I at least have something for yall. Have to work this weekend. Hopefully, I can do that next weekend. What do you think, is changing out all the hooks cheating?

The whopper ploppers look just like the Amazon ones, which I have used. They have their issues, but will catch the fish. My next order from Temu will be all soft plastics. I'll for sure give the yamamoto knockoffs a try. Thanks a lot for watching and supporting!!!

So far , I have not really bought any tackle from temu . I bought some baitfeeder spinning reels that have done great for catfish and a couple baitcasters that did alright . I did buy some hooks from there . They did not work . They felt fairly sturdy until I got a decent catfish on my line fighting me . Next thing I knew , he was gone . I reeled in my line and the hook was completely straightened out .

The biggest problem that I have had with Temu is guessing the size of things. They always seem to come mostly smaller than I think because I don't know metric sizes or meters etc. I have caught fish on most of the things that I have used from them.

Thanks for the comment, it was very refreshing. I actually went back and watched it, cause I didn't feel like I came off complaining. I was merely reviewing a product. In doing so, you should tell people if there's something you don't like, then they can take that into consideration when buying. I wouldn't say any of it was a "steal" for the price. Most of it was an ok deal for the price. All but one of them look cheap. The rest actually look pretty good. All the hooks are bad and not sharp, and you're correct, change them out. Not complaining, just conducting an honest review (which I can do because I turn down their sponsorship) The bag inside a bag thing was a half joke, like a box inside a box inside a box. But really, it was an excessive amount of plastic. I apologize for the long comment, I decided to cover both of your's in one. I really appreciate your comments and hope you comment on more of my videos. I've never had anyone in these 2 years make me go watch a video after I uploaded it. Thank you. I'll pay more attention to not come off as complaining. Again, thanks for watching and commenting!!

Has this man ever heard of buyers beware and to literally complain about stupidity things you can’t say oh man bag after bag oh that’s such a great color. You gotta weigh your options. You knew who you were ordering from and there’s only about 5 to 20 people that actually are ambassadors for temu, they use a lot of other companies to see what they’re gonna get what they’re gonna have and they already got a pretty idea of how shit works but when you’re paying a third of the price of something, I’m pretty sure they don’t tweak their hard baits before they sell them
