Frequently asked questions
Are samples free?
Samples are charged at cost: the product plus express shipping. The amount is credited against your first order of that product.
Can a full-length rod be sent as a sample?
Yes, but long cartons cost more to send by express than small tackle. We show the cost first, so you can decide which items are worth testing, and a travel or telescopic model may be a cheaper way to judge the blank.
Can I sample a bite alarm set or headlamp?
Yes, but items with batteries travel under dangerous goods rules on some routes, so they can cost more and take longer than the usual 7–14 days.
Will the bulk order be identical to the sample?
The approved sample is the reference for production and inspection. Normal manufacturing tolerances apply, for example small differences in lure weight or colour shade.
