Ordering from Japan sites ?

Post by shimanogloomis man » Thu May 14, 2020 3:23 am

Hey guys I plan on ordering a scorpion mgl from a Japan site most likely digitaka or Japan lure shop , has anyone order any reels from there recently? Any shipping delays or anything due to corona virus ? Also digitaka is free shipping seems like they have the best price right around $202 but Japan lure shop is cheaper then they charge shipping so it’s about the same . Any others sites you guys . Thanks for the help !

JLS usually adds a "gift"to their reel orders as well. All of mine have been Megabass jerkbaits which would have cost me more than the shipping amount anyways.

From a shipping perspective, I just got a reel from Digitaka yesterday that was shipped on Monday through DHL. That's 48hrs from when it left the tackle shop to my door in Alabama.

I typically get reel purchases from Japan sellers/shop faster than I would say a ground shipment from TW.... pre covid. You;ll have no issues with ordering from the reputable shops
