Sourcing fishing products that are not in the catalogue
Saw a rod, reel or lure on a marketplace or at a trade fair, and want it cheaper, better or under your own brand? We look for the manufacturers behind it, compare them and run the order for you.
This is also how we handle tackle that is not in our catalogue: special blanks, custom lure moulds, branded bags, carp barrows, ice fishing gear. Send a link, a photo or a drawing.
What sourcing includes
Finding manufacturers
We look beyond the first page of B2B platforms and contact manufacturers, not only trading companies.
Checking the factory
Business licence, export history, production capacity and available test reports, checked before we order.
Comparing quotes
Quotes on the same specification, including blank or material, packaging, carton size, MOQ and lead time, compared like for like.
Samples
Samples from shortlisted factories, consolidated and sent to you in one parcel.
Negotiation
Price, payment terms, packaging and quality standards negotiated directly with the factory.
Order management
Contract, production follow-up, inspection and handover to logistics.

Sourcing agent or EU importer?
Typical sourcing agent
Finds suppliers and charges a commission, but you remain the importer: you pay the factory, arrange freight and customs, and carry the EU duties.
TackliQ
Finds suppliers and also buys the goods, imports them into the EU, prepares the GPSR labels and invoices you as an EU company. One partner, one price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does sourcing cost?
If you order through us, sourcing is included in the product price. For research-only projects without an order, we agree a fixed fee in advance.
Will you tell me the factory name?
For private label projects we work under our own contracts with the factories. If you need direct factory contact, we can agree a sourcing-fee model instead.
What if no factory meets my target price?
We tell you and show what is possible at your price, for example with a different blank material, fewer bearings or a larger quantity.
Can you source inflatable boats or electronics?
Yes, but only with manufacturer documentation. Inflatable boats need documents under the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU, and electrical items such as bite alarms need CE data. We check the documents first and do not proceed without them.
Do you source products other than fishing tackle?
Our focus here is fishing and angling camp kit. For camping, promotional mascots and souvenirs, see our sister brands CampIQ, MascotiQ and SouveniQ.
