I’ve bought lures out of the “bargain bin “ but never reels . When it comes to reels I believe you get what you pay for ( up to a point ) . I try to only buy reels with aluminum frames . The graphite frames just don’t last
@@zombiebitefishing I’ve had some “budget” reels but they just don’t last . I fish a lot and I’m not gentle with my gear lol . Bargain bin baits can be hood as long as you swap out the hooks and split rings
@Oldbasshole haha mine last because I use them sporadically, most of the time I use my SLX's. Definitely, even branded lures, I have a couple of Abu Garcia Tormentor jerkbaits and the hook just bend super easy. BTW how's the fishing over there Patrick??
@@zombiebitefishing last weekend was solid . First 2 bass on Sunday were a 4 3/4 and a 5 on a Spro Rat . This morning was a dink fest but I was getting fish so it’s all good ! Hopefully tomorrow will bring some bigger bass . The fall bite should definitely be picking up soon with dropping temperatures.
That's an amazing catch man, well done!! I really liked them, soft tail, ribbed body, little eyes, some good details at a great price. Thanks a lot for watching buddy 🙏 😊
Thanks man…they’re decent for the price,can’t remember what I paid now,but didn’t expect to catch one that big….no complaints about the lures from Temu….shame about the reel tho
@andydonnelly135 yeah there's some good lures there, totally worth the price! I've caught a 90cm pike on a 2cm AliExpress lure 😅 yeah the reel was bad, worth the good laugh though 😆
@@zombiebitefishing have no clue 😂. Tried my own budget challenge and ended up spending & £60 on Temu gear. Was just to fish the Forth and Clyde canal and never even had a bit after a reel switch up…
Thanks a lot buddy! Yeah the rod and lures are pretty decent. The reel I was expecting to be bad but not that bad 😅 but for 15 or £20 there's decent reels there. As you said it should get someone started without a big investment!
@zombiebitefishing right lol just figured if you did it again you might want a reel you can at least catch a fish with 😅 Loved the video btw! I'm trying to learn from watching everyone else since I'm trying to start youtube as well
Thanks man! Most of all, enjoy what you're doing, make the videos you want to make and don't be chasing the algorithm just for views without enjoying what you're making.
Have you guys ever bought any cheap Temu gear??

@Oldbasshole haha can't say no to the bargain bin 😅 I have cheap decent reels, but this was a monstrosity 😂😂😂

Had that reel and lasted about the same amount of time as yours did 😂. Keep up the videos mate!
😅🤣🤣🤣 why do they even sell that thing?? Thanks a lot mate 🙏
@@zombiebitefishing have no clue 😂. Tried my own budget challenge and ended up spending & £60 on Temu gear. Was just to fish the Forth and Clyde canal and never even had a bit after a reel switch up…
£60 is a decent budget, I got quite a few packs of lures and a decent combo on my £50 temu challenge! Always fun doing these 😁
TEMU is okish ...but for lures only 👍
@@2BruvsFishingyeah unless you go for the branded stuff but that's expensive even there 😅😂
Great film - the rod looks nice and the lures certainly worked!
A shame about the reel, but for £30 for the whole lot, it should get someone started.
Thanks a lot buddy! Yeah the rod and lures are pretty decent.

Keep the great video coming God bless
Thank you so much 🙏
Omg that reel bro. It didn't last 3 casts😂 good thing you had a spare with you😅👌🏼
I knew it from the moment I cranked it for the first time 😅🤣🤣
@@zombiebitefishing 🤣🤣🤣
I mat bad luck on the reel but still good 👍 video 📹 👌
Thanks a lot mate! All good, that's the fun part of making these videos, buying the cheap stuff and expect it to break straight away 😅
Tell them its broken and they will say keep it and reimburse your money m8
I could do that mate, but I have these packs sitting at home for possibly nearly a year now 😅 good laugh anyway 😂
Yep! They do! 👍
@@2BruvsFishingthe laugh I had was worth the £8 the reel costed bruv 😅😂
Ali > Temu 💪
100%! I have a few AliExpress videos as well, and more to come!
Dont buy cheap baitcasters on there lol just do the open-face reels. Better product lol 😅
Haha I know! I didn't need another casting combo anyway, I just bought it for the video and I wanted it to be a casting combo 😅🤣
@zombiebitefishing right lol just figured if you did it again you might want a reel you can at least catch a fish with 😅
Loved the video btw! I'm trying to learn from watching everyone else since I'm trying to start youtube as well
@FishingGingerly99 haha thanks buddy! Good luck on your journey on RUclips, just keep at it once you start 💪
@zombiebitefishing thank you man! I appreciate the advice! Good luck to you too💯
