My brother, (who has won pro tournaments) and has been fishing for some 60 plus years, saw all this crap about TEMU, and for the hell of it, ordered up a variety of stuff, including a couple of reels, bait casters AND spinning. To cut to the chase, he was more than pleasantly surprised at the majority of the lures etc. he received, and ESPECIALLY at the apparent quality of the reels, several of which he now routinely uses in the local streams, rivers and lakes. In fact, he ordered a few more of the reels. As one of the other posters has said, "not Shimano", but still surprisingly good.

[@sykrss9534]

Temu actually has some decent stuff, I would definitely put it above wish

Reels spinning I've bought & been very happy with. Their rods? I haven't tried yet.

[@bassinwithpassion3667]

I bought a ultra lite rod set and have been using it for a few weeks now. It cost a whopping twenty dollars. So far it is terrific. Reel is solid and has a good drag system. The rod, well it’s an ultra lite. Seems well put together. Not sure what the guides are made of but they work smooth. So far, so good. No complaint. Oh, the shipping was fast.

I bought a couple pocket flash lights from Temu for like $1.50-$2.00 each and they are just as bright as my $25 stream light stylus. As far as toughness time will tell. Great review video!

[@vikingssuperfan1994]

I totally read flash light wrong lol

[@theoriginaltech019]

The stuff surprisingly isn't as bad as I expected. It's not only fishable but it has held up for multiple fish catches. Bought some micro poppers and caught 2 4+ pound catfish on them without bending the hooks. Pretty impressive. The lures get bit and actually last a while, same thing with the reel and rod. Of course it's not shimano but honestly for the price I think they are great for people wanting to learn and not break the bank. Yes you end up with more backlashes from a cheaper reel but just crank it down and you for can learn with ease.

[@richardjeal6902]

I bought some similar lures from Ali Express and was very sceptical about them at first. However once I used them I was immediately converted. Their rat lure is now my favourite lure and has outperformed every other lure in my box equalled only by their whopper plopper. Just because they are cheap does not necessarily mean that they are rubbish. Yes you might have to change the hooks on some of them but generally I've been highly satisfied with their products and saved a boat load of money.

[@gastar2000]

Got a ton of drop shot weights for short money. Not sure what they are made of put the weight is accurate and they work normal.

[@ss3087]

I've ordered a few things from Temu for fishing and for the most part it works fine. In all fairness though, I've stuck with stuff that is hard to mess up like inline spinners, Rat L Trap/vibrating crankbait knockoffs, simple diving crankbaits that look like a cheap Bomber Model B copy. I did actually buy some spinning reels for loaner kits. The brand on the spinning reel was like Sougayilang or some nonsense and I also got a telescoping rod from the same company. Honestly, both work very okay for the price. Not sure what the durability will be but they did survive my girlfriend learning to fish on them a few weeks back.

It takes huge gonads to be on the shore, with non fishing park visitors around you, and you are throwing a baby duck to bass, pike, so, well, Mazel Tov. 😀 I got a 3D Savage Duck, real feathers, 2 prop feet, from Ollie's $5.00, have not used it yet, read above paragraph.

[@greatlakezgirl649]

I brought the top water blue gill with prompt and blade. I took it on the river, and it works fine. It floats, the prompt work great. The faster you reel it in the louder it gets, and the hooks were really good my fingers can contest to that. It actually worked better than the LUNKERHUNT frog with prompt, that I spent $8.99 for. The clips/triangle ring on that belt is actually for attaching your tools such as net, grippers, etc. for wading.

[@blind_eye_fishing]

Idk if temu has them like a aliexpress but aliexpress has diawa and some top brand reels but they are the Asian versions of the reels. Some have the same basic design just odd colors and reel names lol

I have bought a good amount of cheap hooks for catching bait fish. Also, got some spinner baits that have worked alright. The nicest thing I have gotten so far are the minnow soft body lures that I used when I was pike fishing. I hate losing expensive lures when fishing in pike waters and I caught 5 northern in about 30 minutes.

Well that bait with a prop, spinner on rear, with burn marks, man, you missed the point, those marks represent you "buring" that thing across the top of the water, like faux flames on the sides of a hot rod. Paul will instantly recognize this when you give it to him on the water. 😊

The aspect of Temu I like? Lures tackle contraptions I've never seen in the US. Have you seen the crab snares? The "mini cast net" casted from a fishing pole? This needs to be tested next esp cast net. Esp again for people who can't cast a net. This? Is awesome IF it works.

I mean these are super cheap lures. They may look ehh but guaranteed they’ll catch fish.

[@sabbage100]

I've had a few items from Temu, ranging from car bits to fishing stuff. I'd say 80% of their stuff is alright, a few have misleading descriptions, e.g. i ordered glass beads for my lures but it turned out to be plastic! They will refund you on the spot without having to send back the items, which is a plus.

Some people buy stuff for demostration other for usage.
