Title: Buy reels in China?
Post by: Mandelstam on September 08, 2012, 07:14:03 PM
I'm travelling to China in a couple of months. Just out of curiosity, does anybody know if you can buy Chinese manufactured reels for a decent price over there? I'm thinking of Penn, ABU, etc, etc. I guess they make tons of "no name" reels and gear as well, but I'm thinking of brands that I know of and that makes decent stuff.

I mean, if you can score some new reels cheap, you can spend a few bucks when you get home to switch out a few things. :)

I'll spend a few days in Beijing and I guess it's there I'll do my shopping..

buy some reels from japan, use TAOBAO, it's like ebay in usa.
it's much cheaper than in japan,but you should take care,because there are some "tricky" seller will change the part inside(gear,screws etc.)
I recommended you to buy some Accessories in China
