Can I use rods and reels from AliExpress, Temu and China for BFS Fishing for Pike, Perch and |ander

Answering whether using rods and reels form China stores like AliExpress and Temu is a viable option for BFS fishing for pike, perch and zander fishing.

A lot of videos out there have fun with the cheap products available for fishing on AliExpress or Temu but never really dive in to the actual idea of using products from there seriously for fishing. I'm currently working my way through 2 rods and 2 reels bought from AliExpress in hopes of finding some actually good setups for a fraction of the price.

The rods
Sougayilang 2.1m casting rod 0.5-8g
Tsurinoya dragon

The reels
Soloking acurra (HICC50)
Tsurinoya dark wolf ultra

There's a quick run down of 2 combos I've planned on using in the future as well as a few videos scattered in where I was testing out the reels and rods in different configurations and combinations.

I've been fishing with these rods and reels through a range of lures and weights to get a good feel for them and their capabilities, caught plenty of fish and have determined if any of the stuff I bought is worth it.

Perch and pike in this one!
