Where do you purchase JDM UL rods?
Where do you purchase JDM UL rods?
Hi All,
Was wondering where some of you purchase your jdm UL rods? I've been lucky enough to visit Japan often enough to pick up items over there but likely won't be able to head back there for some time. Aside from the bigger players like japantackle, jpangler, are there any others?
I ran across this www.finesse-fishing.com and they seem to have one or two rods that I may be interested in. Are these guys legit?
Thanks!

Rakuten Global Market (Japan) has several online Jdm shops. Decent pricing as well

Oh nice! Thanks! If shipping remains reasonable through EMS, that could definitely be a good option.

Had a very good experience with buying from finesse.com; was shipped quickly.

Shimreels on eBay is a great option, if you mail them direct they add 10% discount, 2 rods and you get a further $50 shipping discount. What I like about them is that buying one piece rods is affordable, otherwise you pay silly money for Fedex shipping. I've bought 4 Evergreens from them over the years and they always arrive very well protected and quick.

It's 50/50 in my exp. Sometimes he has the 1 piece shipping expense included in the price - same or close to same as you'd pay elsewhere. Other times he has really good deals on 1 piece rods.Allsorts wrote:Shimreels on eBay is a great option, if you mail them direct they add 10% discount, 2 rods and you get a further $50 shipping discount.

Plat...Digitaka....some off of Japanese sellers on eBay.....JPAngler. If it is someone I have never dealt with before I will email and ask how they ship and pack. I find....for the rods I use.....it is hard to beat Plat for price. Digitaka uses FedEx to ship a 2 piece rod. I wasn't happy with that but at the time I bought the Tict Ice Cube they were the only place I could find it so I bit the bullet and paid the price.
