I spent a little chunk of change with Temu playing a "rods and reels for everyone!" game to introduce some family members to fishing. You really need to do a video on the micro crankbaits that are only about one inch long. I think i paid like $5 for a 10-pack! Those little suckers catch EVERYTHING. All members of the bass family, slab crappie and bluegill, channel cats, drum, wallies. You name it.
I'll give them a try, thank you!
I love the Sougayilang 2000 reals with 2lb or 4lb line on them, they are amazing for the price and because the bails are larger, they spread the line out more so that the line twist is not as bad!
You are right the Sougayilang reels are good reels I have several I wanted to try and they have been working great.
I have used Temu numerous times and had great experiences. If you are buying from China anyway, why pay a middle man. Make sure to look at the dimensions of product as the photos are not to scale.I use a bar of soap to lubricate all my telescope or two piece rods. You will find that line really blends in well with the water.
Temu is not a bad place but you really have to be choosy what you buy from them .
I just bought a fishing backpack/sling to set up for ultra light bank fishing and the quality of the bag including the zippers and how smoothly they operated totally exceeded my expectations and was much cheaper than an equivalent also made in China option from someplace like Amazon.
I have ordered from them multiple times along multiple categories and have always been satisfied with what I received for the dollars spent and have always gotten my order way quicker than what their initial date was of my order to arrive.
The Colour of the Line will change when it's in the water, & yes we do Diameter and Breaking Strain here in the UK, it states both on the spool.
I think the telescopic rod works best when you actually make the sound of a lightsaber when you open and close it.
Sougayilang has been a main supplier of outdoor fishing tackle established in 1988.
They aren't a nameless company except here in the States
I like the reels, I'll buy more for sure. The rod, however, did not survive the walleye spawn
@@dansmidwestangling I had a collapsible rod that didn't survive me trying to collapse it... So at least yours made it to the water 😂
Great reels. Always remember to oil reels out the box. I have that telescopic rod. You have to turn it to get it unstuck. I caught an 8lb salmon on mine. I own mostly Sougayilang reels and no problems so far.
Ok I might order the cheap red and white line holder doohickey. I like it. I bought an Ozark Trail telescopic fishing rod and reel combo and it was very similar to your Temu telescopic rod.
Great reviews! The line isn't going on the spinning reel properly. It should come off the spool and go onto the reel in the same orientation to avoid twisting. The tool should work well on baitcasting reels though.
Holy crap it's Danny! Howdy back from the Northeast lol. The bleeping is great lmao.
Thanks guy 🤣
Hi, 😀🎣I'm Paul and I want to congratulate you on your purchase and want to share with you that I too have made several purchases from Temu. I Lost all my gear in a storage container when I got sick and stumbled onto Temu, and have since then; replaced all my gear plus🖒🖒🖒. You'll want to get more lures and line at a much lower price than BPS😉. BE safe out there and God Bless always, Amen.
The walleye singing was hilarious
I've been waiting for a chance to bust that one out
Even a bad day of fishing is better than any day at work !! 👍
I ordered three of the Sougayilang reels and I love them. They are all very smooth and cast great. I've got some expensive reels so I know what a good reel should feel like. They are a great buy for the money. By the way I'm seventy five and have been fishing since I could walk. My wife says if I'm not fishing I'm thinking about fishing, so I think I know what I'm talking about.
If I wanted that crap I'd go to wal mart.
Last fish was a 13in black crappie. Me and the boys love catching a mess of em at our campground in Central Indiana. Nothing like pulling slabs on a light action tackle...perfect time of the year for crappie over the fire with some morel mushrooms 😊😊😊 FISH ON!!!
I'm hoping to get into a mess of them soon!
Dude I got same minnows you. Got
And works so great ...
Tha whiteones are luminescents...
And the black backbones work great I got some nice basses on my channel recently caught on that minnow's.....
The line temu sale.
I been heard it's not work too good in light diameters....
But almost everything works so great when come from temu...and it's not expensive as the recognized brands......🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
On the spooler tool if you unscrew the cap on the bolt it has a built in spring that tensions your line.
Ive been importing their reels for a couple of years and so far I haven't had any issues
Where do you think shimano and daiwa have their parts made 🤔
I shop at TEMU and all I got is at least one third of the price sport stores sell and the quality of the products they sell is much improved from China's stuff of 4 or 5 years ago.
The shipping is fast , mostly under 2 weeks. The last thing I bought is a Fly reel Sougayilang ($25 US) that beat the Orvis reel quality that I have that did cost me over $100.00.
Take care and keep on fishing.
I got a fly reel for 20 bucks and just used it today, not too shabby
I bought six of those brand name reels for 20.00 15 ball-bearing . When click the bail over, there is no play in the handle
I really like them.
I have bought from there bargain page two months later i am still waiting. But i also bought a lot of stuff that does not work, but they are good about returns.
Most orders will find my asking for a return on something: I had a very well made small bag.... except one pocket had a zipper but no zipper pull!!
I'll vouch for temu fishing equipment in general.
If you feed the line through one of the loops of the pole, it would put proper tension on the line.
Yes. I clip mine further up the rod so the line passes through at least one or two eyes. Putting some foam or felt rings between the nut and the spool will help put eve attention on the spool without having to hold the line.
what are you doing began rod use?
Great video!
The biggest problem in most every industry is even though I like doing business with American companies. All of their stuff is still manufactured in China, so what difference does it make? I wish that weren’t true and we had more American made manufacturing in the fishing industry. It’s kind of sad that we’ve all sold out to the Chinese. And it’s not really us as the consumers that have done it, but it’s major corporations that have done it and forced us to buy their stuff be cause there’s no other choice. One company I really like is Z man Baits and they have a big distribution center right here where I live so that does provide quite a few American jobs. Not sure about their manufacturing.
Great vid, the spool was the wrong way around on the winder. Run the line from the bottom of the spool to the reel....cheers
Tap on the tip with something light and spray a lil WD or silicone on it
I bought a "combo" rod and real from Temu a couple of years ago and keep it under the back seat of my truck, just in case I come across one of those rare moments when I used to say "damn I wish I had my pole with me" I paid under 7 dollars for a Rod and Reel" You've got to take into consideration the cost and say "what the hell?" That's the cost of a fancy coffee!
I think you did a suppurb job on everything in the video. Including presentation and I wouldnt nessissarrily care if its cheap. As long as it performs ok is what matters to me. Stay safe, blessings, cheers. 😊
Thank you very much!
Opening it Like a light saber 🤣
Better equipment usually helps in a smoother and sometimes more satisfying or even less stressful and possibly more successful fishing experience. In all honesty, a fish can be caught on a hand-held line with no rod or reel. Everything introduced into the gear ensemble is there to make catching fish easier and more pleasurable. I have some fairly nice equipment but nothing extravagant. I feel just like any sport, there are casual participants, professionals, semi-pros, and upper-scale amateurs who either feel they to spend a fortune on gear to catch fish, have cash burning a hole in their pocket, or are just plain snobs about high-end gear who just need an excuse to look down their noses at the rest of us just out there having fun with what we can afford.
I have some Temu gear and I am fairly satisfied with it.
Because of the horrific price of fishing equipment even before post-Covid prices, I have been planning to start making content on making one’s own lures, tying one’s own flies, building one’s own fishing and boating equipment, and more. I think the angler is getting pocket raped for what should be a pleasant, low-cost, stress-relieving hobby.
Thank you for posting your review on one possible solution to what is quickly becoming a highly overpriced hobby. It ought not to be that way. It never used to be.
Thank you very much! I think you're right, fishing is whatever you want it to be, whether that's a high-end setup or just drowning worms off a dock and that's the beautiful thing about it.
men doing Temu revel brilliant new sub!
It's got a stash spot for spliff! 😅
Does temu sell livescope?
Looks like they took the liberty of matching the line (color) to the rod you bought....FishOn.....Jim
WD 40 on the rod before you extend the pole into position. It will come apart better. My father used to use facial oil by spinning the metal inserts around the outside of his nose. A 2 piece rod would then come apart easier..
Been doing the same trick for ages and it does help a lot on 2 or 3 pieces rods.
You didn't do a break strength test of the line. I want to try some Temu braid, but worried it will be craptastic.
I'm not a scientist, but after using the braid over a month now it's absolutely worth the price if you can get over the puke color
@@dansmidwestangling Thank you. I'll try some. It's just some of the Temu reviews say the 30 pound breaks at less than 20, but for their price it's worth a shot.
Danny boy already catchin some bass out of the boat up here
That sougayilang reel is also sold at bass pro shops!!!! Fyi
I don't mind waiting a week for cheap fishing tackle that I'm going to lose anyway. I love my $16 graphite flyrod; would cost over $2oo. here in the states.
Great video im wondering about the baitcasters
I had the same issue with the rod. You have to bang the bottom of it on the floor with the b
It string goss on the side my first real was crap I had to take it apart and try to fix and broke. And there 13:29 no place to return it
I’ve ordered a few carbon fiber telescopic rods. Excellent for the price.
The line spooler works great if you use it correctly...
You figured out how to attach it to your rod, but the threaded screw handle piece is only "STORED" in the end of the tool...proper use will have it inserted through the spool, deep or thin, then into the SIDE hole - one is threaded, the other is not - go through the none threaded hole and then thread into the threaded side - this will allow you to add as much or as little tension to the line as you want....It's not rocket science...or maybe it is in Minnesota....
I said this in the video, Jerry. I'm certainly not a rocket scientist, but I'd definitely watch an entire video before I made an ass of myself in the comments section.
Burrrrrrnnnnnnnn
Is that a weather loach going up and down the corner of your aquarium?
Almost haha, black Kuhlis.
Did they have bait casters ?
Yes
Lures are best value shopping at temu
You still had the line spooler way too loose. I've got one, and it works if you set the tension better. You shouldn't have line flopping around like that as you wind.
It’s just when your inside 😊
This was a good video, but for the love of god man there is an R in the English language!😂 Also the the company with the long S... name that made the reels is actually a really popular budget rod and reel company and they do make some pretty decent stuff for the money. I have a few things from them that I've gotten from the Amazon Vine program and it has all worked pretty good.
Greetings coming from Indonesia priv. Maluku Aru Islands Greetings fellow anglers
Temu braid is fantastic and very cheap
Just go back to your order and it will tell you the supplier.
I bought some of the fishing items and was disappointed with what I received. The pictures on line showed good sized hooks, when I got them they were minnow sized. Won't buy them again.
I ordered a shimano reel and received a crappy plastic reel with line on it already.
Some of the baits I ordered the biggest size they had and looks like they will work for the bass.
Be careful what you order. Some items I will not order again. The weights I would order again. Some of my orders were lost in transit so I canceled the order and got a refund.
G'Day,,Not sure about "Temu",But have been buying from china for a long time and agree,these all made by the same people,,But the mark up when brought to australia,is ridiculous.i mean get a couple of hundred for $3 and here in auz they charge $3 just for ten,,
as far the reels,have a couple and so far so good,but when disassybled find some plastic gears in side,,but ifin you treat it for what it is,,they will work well,I men paid big Bucks for a reel made in canada,,and Broke the the up and down function with a big fish on, so the cheaper the better,I do find a lot of these reels have far excess ball bearing in them and think they just stick them in so as to brag 14 plus bearings,Brought a couple of rods,the tele scopic ones are alway trouble with the jionts and line runners come off,,and usually made for egg beaters, as the rod curve when loaded using an overhead reel,line rubs on glass when loaded..But have a couple i keep in the boot,(trunk),just in case i decide i want to wet a line,,
How do you pay TEMU without giving access to your credit card?
You should be able to use a prepaid visa card
PayPal is what I use
Kastking is the best bang for your buck
Hadir nyimak bro
All I hear is Peter Griffin. 🙂
nice
Hey yall, I have zero experience on fishing, so big of a fish could this rod handle
Open rod to fast. Oil and hot water
I’m confused. Midwest or Boston accent here lol.
I'm from Maine originally. Haven't lived there for over a decade, though.
Drop the butt against the floor a few times it will eventually collapse properly . Yup, I did the same thing with my cheapo collapsable rod. Won’t make that mistake again .😂
Temu sells abu Garcia reels I bought a 4000 for 19.00$
No?
@@zenxzyisinsane9156 Yes. It’s usually 20 something bucks it was on sale and I had a few buck credit I used.
Garcia or Garcai
I did this when I bought my boat just went crazy and got 200$ worth of stuff and 90 percent of it was awsome and we still use it all
I've only ever had one thing that was junk from them and honestly I was asking for it... it was a $3 watch 😂
Lmao ya need like about a 1000 reel for the telescoping rod
That was your first mistake. You do not open it like a light sabre. 😎
Lesson learned hahaha
"Drop Ships" just means that they forward your order to the manufacturer and they ship it direct to you. This allows the website to not stock 56 Billion items, pack up each item or pay for the shipping to them.
I think that a lot of items were copied from western brands that outsource production to China. So you're getting the same thing without the name and mark up. Of course if you buy a $10 reel the quality isn't going to compare with a $200 reel. Personally I never spend an amount that I'd have to cry about. But at $1.29 for 10 lures how can you lose ? And you're buying from China either way since western companies started using them way before we did.
That's why I have no problems with it. If they're not even making their own products, I'm going to skip the middleman. Thanks for the drop shipping clarification.
@@dansmidwestangling Thanks for the reply !
If you go to walmart and spend 80 bucks on a real hell it comes from China also so I would much brother spend only 10 looks like it's a winner
My thoughts exactly. Most people don't realize that most of the brands we buy come from the same factories overseas. I actually really like these reels, and I'm going to buy more.
Is temu legit. Are the reels and poles legit
I've bought enough stuff from there at this point I can say it's legit. The rod from this video broke already but the reels are holding up well and I plan to buy more. With temu it's an item by item basis on whether it's junk or not.
Never open any telescopic rod like that wherever it is from. Even high quality rods will stick if you do that. Do not try to push back but twist slowly.
WD 40
I want to see TEMU monofilament tested.
had bad luck with them will not shop there
I was able to stock my tacklebox using Temu at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost me elsewhere. Their swim baits are great! ❤
You need a better microphone
ya the way you open it was very bad
It's cheap, It only costs the country jobs.
It took me a bit to understand "is there another POT to this"? 😅
I bought 8 items from temu all 8 items are crap they went straight in the bin the products are rubbish you get what you pay for you pay cheap you get cheap do yourself a favour don't use them
After my car was rifled and my Shimano telescopic rod stolen, I bought a rod the same as the one featured here from TIMU. The ferrules were loose and slid up and down the rod, the butt was loose and spun around the rod. Complete junk, it went straight to the bin.
Thankyou for showing us you are not ideally qualified to judge the quality of the gear.
Look, Bubba, I try to have fun on this channel. I understand that's not for everyone, so if you want some blowhard that takes himself way too seriously, go watch Randy Blaukat
no temu for me.
Temu us a scam ,thier free table giveaway
No you’re just stupid. Just buy stuff don’t do their free stuff you’re never gonna get the free giveaway things
Where's this stuff made? China? No thanks!!!
Just twist and close that telescopic rod, dam peaople are not schooled properly in USA
Chill cowboy. I had to heat the fitting up to get it to close, after that it closed fine. I'm curious though, what country's schooling taught you how to spell "people"?
Roasted 😂
@@billyduncan7590🙄 not really a "roast" over a misspelled word when the Internet thinks Finna,FOMO,JOMO and Prolly are real words...
@stephenbarabas6286 your prolly dumb
My boy the CCP in China now know everything about you my boy !!! .... Like what's your favourite ice cream, car, football team etc etc my boy !!!
As long as I get my own spy balloon it's cool I guess 😅
why chinese products are cheap?... simple... facttories are subsidized to produce... not taxed!... fees are low, and even shipping is free, because China, even though it ''threatens'' the ''world'' from space... still holds its ''3rd world country'' status to get its exports subsided by the UN (!)
that's why nobody can compete with them in the ''open market''... they use our taxes, through the UN to make cheap stuff for us... now for everyone who says ''oumf!... Chinese crap!'' I have to remind them what we were saying a few decades back about Japanese cars and bikes! [I was one of them...]
that gisious abusive circle can break only by pausing the ''open market'' policy... overtaxing their exports to support the local economy... 'cause I'm not paying 150$ for what I can get for 20$...
Can't catch fish if your not out there trying
