Ordering tackle from japan

[bigfish84]

Best companys to deal with, and how bad is it to deal with custom? Anyone know Were one can buy Jackall nero rods in the USA.

I have had great experience with digitaka.com ,japanlureshop, jpangler.com and ichibahn

The companies mentioned above are reputable, and did some business from them.

Im not too sure about nero rods (ive never bought or used any) - its just not in my arsenal of rods.

In regards to customs: its not a hassle; until you have to pay duty tax, Lol. Ive never once paid duty on lures or reels. Rods, is a different story. I would say 80% of all of the imported rods Ive gotten Ive had to pay duty on. UPS 'typically' wants the duty tax before they release your package. fedex have always billed me weeks later, or never bills me at all.

bass.co.jp is another good one as well. Two rods can be shipped in the same tube for the price of one (roughly $110 USD as current rates).

Good seller, recomend.

I've ordered from digitaka. Fast shipping and got my reel in about 5 business days.

All of the above are great as are Japan Tackle and Samurai Tackle but they are usually more exspensive that the others. Ichiban Tackle has become one of my favorites for lures and they have some good prices on used reels.

All mentioned are good shops...however, none of them carry the Neros. Only place I know to that does is Shimreels out of Vietnam, and I do believe their stock is very low....the Neros came out a few years ago and supply is just about dried up. Love them myself and have a bunch , would love to buy some more of the 6'6" ML spinning versions, but those have been gone for awhile .....I do love my Jackall stuff, best rod company out there IMO....what model are you looking for specifically?

You could always ask the nice folks at BassJP aka Proshop Otsuka if they will order it for you. They special ordered a couple of rods for me in the past.

No issues with Samurai? They have a good selection of soft plastics and I'll be placing an order soon. Thx

Samurai is expensive.....and once, they sent me a Megabass rod that had a jacked up, curved blank. A rod that I paid about 600 bucks for. Then old boy acted like he didn't want to ate it back, tried to tell me it was because the rod was splined properly lmao....finally talked him into taking it sick, but of course, at my expense to ship....ended up dumping it local atfç a loss to someone who didn't care. Screw that, I am definitely gonna care about a rod that expensive having an issue like that. I won't stop there anymore, but YMMV

Mark, my only problem with Samurai Tackle is it seems that their minimum EMS charge is $30. I was going to order some hard to find JDM colored Jackall Pompadour Jr.'s the other day and I said screw It because of the shipping. BassJP also has a great selection of soft plastics but sometimes the ordering process can be a pain in the ass and it will take a little longer to get your order because after you place your order, they have get all of your goods from their five different stores.
