Bought PVA bags and mesh from Temu. Work as they should and at a fraction of the cost of UK tackle shops. I'd wage a lot of the stuff in our stores are made in the same factories out in Asia but repackaged with added Carp tax! Some stuff you get what you pay for but other 'basic' items - you can't really go wrong unless you like the fancy branded packaging (which just goes in the bin!).
End tackle is we’re they make lots of profit. Stuf like line-aligners, swivels, etc. Or the desolving foam which is just really cheap packaging material.
I’m a way it does go to show that if some of these things (spomb being a prime example) can be made and sold for 99p and someone still make profit - how much margin tackle companies make.
I’ve bought Sonik Bivvy, bank bug butt rests, Sonik gizmos 2 alar and plenty of other stuff based on your reviews in the past. I’ve got to say that you are very fair and accurate with your reviews based on the fact I’ve used stuff afterwards, so will be interesting what you say about this. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Brilliant, look forward to the next video when you fish with them. You have been smiling a lot recently, so I do wonder what happened to the "beads" 😂😂
I was on peg 9 on heath this week with a 20 in the cradle as you walked down between the syndicate and heath! Was awesome to meet you! I should have ask for a cheeky photo! Tight lines Joe! 🎣
@@nuffinbutfishing it was a 23lb common, later that evening I pulled a 33.5lb prestine common out! As you have a ticket on the syndicate I’m sure I’ll bump into you again I’m there a lot. 🎣🎣
Been using the 4000 reels now for a month and they are great for feeder fishing. Amazing value.!! The best buy is the PVA bag kits Mesh or bags both fantastic purchases and half the price of the tackle shops/
I've got one of them alarms and if your just doing a few hours and don't want to take loads of stuff they work brilliantly. Little tip put some tape over the Little hole on the back so it ain't to loud
Most people forget the majority of mainstream tackle comes from China. If you spend time on aliexpress you may often find tackle that is from that factory. But like amazon it can be a gamble if its any good
Brilliant upload, cant wait until the next one. As a suggestion for something else to get maybe a bate boat? I have a cheap one myself but surprisingly it does the job and the battery last for ages 👍
Back in December 2023 i had my Fox Low Level Carryall stolen that had 20 years of terminal tackle most of it new inside a Fox Double F Box as well as 60lb x 1oz Reuben Heaton scales,Fox SX alarms and other stuff totally around £800. So unbeknown to men my missus actually bought me that exact rig box with all the bits and pieces in it as a stocking filler for Christmas. Bless her she doesn’t fully get how naff most of this stuff is and most carp anglers wouldn’t go near any cheap knock off rubbish that is sold on those sort of sites. However to be fair i have used the extender stops that came in my pack and they were spot on 👌 And i have some Fox hooks from a few years back that are also a very shiny metallic so i wouldn’t be too bothered about the glare from them cheap hooks but they do look savage and maybe crimp the barb down.
@@nuffinbutfishing 🤣 You are probably right she means well. With you saying that one thing i did treat myself to was a new set of limited edition Reuben Heaton Yellow dial Scales 120lb x 2oz divisions. I said they only cost £40 not the £95 i paid from Hampshire Tackle 🤯 😂
There’s more of this stuff manufactured in China, perfectly good, badged for sale in the U.K. massively marked up than most realise. As far as budget alarms go you shouldn’t laugh I have been putting £6 alarms to use for ages to great effect stalking. They weight nothing, fix to the rod directly, have a roller wheel to operate them, the same principal as our normal alarms. Ok there is one tone and volume but they also have a small LED reacting to the spin of the wheel too. Much smaller than your admittedly rubbish “rape alarm” they are brilliant for poking that stalking rod through bushes and urban fishing where there is nowhere to sink a bank stick. Not for night fishing they do a brilliant job and you are not worried about losing them at a dodgy venue as there is no resale value. Hunt them down, they are held on the rod by a rubber O ring.
Everyone complaining about british carp tax. Its everyones fault. We all watch the fox, korda an nash videos an buy the stuff. Get online an there are lots of unbranded suppliers at quarter the price an a lot is the same. The thing that gets me is the price of goo an dips an glugs. 15 quid for what is a bottle of flavored corn starch. I get boilies, they need nutrition an must be good quality.
I have a scar on my left hand where I had 4 stitches from a Stanley stab at school cutting towards myself through plastic is tech class. Plastic gave, and all my strength plunged it into my hand. Lucky not to catch any tendons. Can still see the inside of my hand in my head. 🤣
The price we pay for end tackle is a joke, for all we know these are coming out of the same factory, or at least the one next door. I’ll never understand paying upwards of a fiver for 10 swivels
I have been buying my braid from Aliexpress for many years normally 8 or 12 strand never ever let me down, I change it every two years because it's so cheap compared to branded ones.
I've got similar but rests I got mine from amazon and haven't failed me yet and the little black box oter than the hooks and beads the rest of the tackle have all caught me fish
you know can have loads of fun with the bite alarm.. it you with mate and at 2am in the morning when he fast alseep you set that alarm of as say thats your car alarm going of and you just watch him run out the divvy and run to his car thinking it car alarm going off and you have a smile on face..
The sad thing is Joe 90% of high-end bivvy hook links etc etc is from China, Wish do some top water carriers with tap hose even rubber grommets, to allow free flow, without having to losern the lid, 12 ltr at 7 quid I bought many, they now selling at 14 quid on wish, they also got fishing scissors, like multi tool crush shot etc, but the scissors are superb, but 90% is rubbish🔥🎣🤣🤣🤣
@@nuffinbutfishing Never had the worry about being raped so never carried or heard one before but I'll take your word for it 🤣and then I hear you referencing anal beads just after!! Brilliant
A lot of the time the product doubles in price every time it changes hands. Lets say the factory in china can make a product for £1, they then sell it to a distributor for £2, the distributor sells it to a wholesaler in the target country for £4, the company whose brand will ultimately go on the product in shops buys them for £8, they then sell them to shops for £16 and the shop sells them to the consumer for £32. Obviously it's not exactly that clean and there are incurred costs by each company along the way so it's not all profit but that's a simplification of how it works
Fishing is not an industry, its a hobby, but as with everything leisure related these days , every bugger is an expert and in it for the money. It’ll all collapse one day and you’ll all be skint.
@nuffinbutfishing you can get sonik stuff off there every tungsten component even the flying back lead that gardner charge 9.50 for are 3 quid for 3 you can get nash claw hooks to
Shall we just say you've a pair of balls on this channel... Easy to slag off the Chinese but, and it's a big but, why don't you slag off mainstream stuff on your work channel?... Bought a bivvy on your advice, utter shit even for £120... Ripped 2nd time putting it up, now what you should've said was "Don't buy this bivvy it's utterly gash".... You crack me up fella.... Get a set.... Fulla...
Hi Ben. Sorry to hear that. What shelter did you go for? I've never had a bivvy break on me on a shoot before so I can only list what I see. Some stuff is better than others for sure but I've never had a bivvy not do it's job. Sorry you had a bad experience with your purchase. I'm guessing you got a refund if it was only it's second use though 👌🏻
You can't blame reviews by carpology for your misfortune with a product. You were probably too heavy handed with it on your first session which weakened it to the point it broke on 2nd session. Regardless, we still need sites like carpology out their giving honest reviews on carp equipment....why don't you get some balls as you say and start putting reviews up yourself if your not happy with the reviews that carpology provide 🤔

British carp tax makes everything stupidly priced
Yes 😢
Yes to some items, but others you do get what you pay for.
Most certainly young man
They all made in china put a brand on it and the price go up

Think I will definitely be scouring wish a bit more going forwards
The reel will certainly be interesting to see in action, looks a solid bit of kit.
I have high hopes for it!
I've had bits like the pva loader and bait screws etc off Temu and they've been bang on, and almost a quarter of the price so ain't all bad on there
Happy days! Definitely some savings to be made
Hook/boilie stops and micro ring swivels too. Buy em by the 100!
Can't go wrong with them!
But the equivalent NGT items are just as cheap, or cheaper - and no delivery delay
Yep. Used quite a bit of their kit over the years 👌🏻
i bought a genuine spomb and could not believe how cheap it felt. Utter rip off
Be interesting to see how this "spomb" does
Top get kids into fishing perfect but that's it no point spending shed loads just for them to stop
Yeah definitely 👌🏻
You need to clip that high pitched alarm to some low level line on ground pegs around your swin as an intruder alarm 😂
That would work a treat 🤣

Never seen anyone do it with carp gear.
Hope you enjoyed this video. Temu likely to follow 😁

You and me both!
I buy from terug,they have redfishy pop ups cheap fake maggots...one on top of boilie groundbait with maggots....tight lines
Sounds good 👌🏻 cheers for watching
Yes I got some spombs ok temu £1.19 each x 4 on my second one now 1 one lasted about 6 months
That's not bad going!
Great watch and very interesting mate cheers 🥂
Cheers for watching. Glad you enjoyed it
Bought plenty fly tying materials from temu and as good as the big brands that will have your pants down.
Nice! Not that I've ever even touched a fly ket alone cast one 😬
Do a temu one next Ive tried some of their bit tight lines bud
100% will be 👌🏻
