Who's ordered from O/S

[banshee]

I got recently got Daiwa Certate 1500 & saved $120 by getting it off www.japantackle.com had it in about 5days.. I would get another reel off them without doubt as they emailed me straight after I paid & wanted to know when & if i had received the reel & offer lifetime warranty which is top service i think..

& just on your comment noelm i went saw my 'locals' but noone was willing to do a deal with me so I went O/S.. they only hurt themselves when they won't reel'n'deal cause it wasn't like i was looking at $20 reel it was worth $500!

The majority of tackle shops are not signed up as what Daiwa Aust call 'Tournament' dealers and unfortunately if you are not a tournament dealer you are restricted to 'Team Daiwa' products and simply cannot access products like Saltiga's,Certate's etc.I don't know your situation it but could be the people you saw were just unable to supply the product.

strewth, i got jackals from them, at $12 each it was a big saving, because of the type of lures they had them in bubble wrap, i cant remember if they had insurance for it but postage was only $10, i was happy

Thanks Ben

I assume that you are talking US $ and that you didn't pay $US10 per jackall for postage.

Has anyone tried Ginrichpeche? Seem to have the lowest online prices of all the Jap stores (at least for lures) but their postage costs are unclear.

shimreels (good old Jarvis)still owe me a Tiagra 16 he recons he has sent 2 reels but I have received none. If you deal with him make sure you pay by paypal and if you need to make a claim in the 45 days (the time you have to make a claim) of the claimable period. I failed to do this as he seemed a reputable dealer... hey Willo



Garry

I had no probs with him had my stella in 5days

They were team daiwa dealers that want the full RRP for the reels..

Willo thanks for the tip mate, the guy in the states said he would send them in 3 packets afew day apart for each package.

Ian - just remember that you still could get hit with duty and GST despite the separate packages if they got to the same address within close time periods. It probably hasn't happened much but it is in the rules if you check the customs website. Get them sent to 3 different addresses maybe

[Spaniard_King]

Yeah send one to me

[Greg P]

Me too - you can have it back next winter


You will need to call the Cat Mr T with all that bling

It's getting a nice new set of 5.5meter relax poles( black i think) and the whole boat is going to get a cut and polish and the moreton bay chair is going back on the icebox( after a touch up) after all that it deserves a nice spread of gold reels in the rack It is a classic after all and should be treated as such
