Are you currently using any Temu rods or reels?

[ABU is overpriced]

It MUST be from Temu😁Aliexpress doesn't count. 

Do you have any in your 2025 lineup?

Call me old fashioned, but i only buy from America, or our allies (like Japan).

 

I dont participate in this "Temu" "Aliexpress" or "Tiktok" i keep hearing about on the news, all it is is brain rot, cheap knockoffs, scams, 0 buyer protection, along with sending all of your data to a certain government. No thanks!

 

If you want to save money, stare at Midway, TW, Omnia, Academy, and DSG's websites every day along with Asian Fishing Portal, Japan Lure Shop, Digitaka just to name a few. Ive gotten a bunch of rods, reels, and combos over and over again for 25-35-50-75% off, some were even so good it would make the guys who bought from Japan think they got ripped off.

And these rods and reels werent called some weird name, they were the actual item, actual name, from a company that has credibility, a customer support team, oh and a warranty too.

(Some JDM stores offer a warranty too if thats where you like to order from, atleast thats what i heard this week).

 

I know some guys use Temu or Aliexpress for parts, but if your reel needs significant upgrades out of the box, you probably shouldve bought a different reel... Just saying

I do my best to avoid giving my money to companies that use, or are likely to use, slave or forced labor. So...no, I do not own anything from them.
