Anyone purchased from JP Angler lately?

Post by KP Duty »

Had to file a claim through paypal during the pandemic ('21) to get my money back for a rod that didn't show up, and zero communication from them. Looks like they are back open, and I realize most would steer clear after what I went through...Buuut, they have a rod I want and paypal's claim process is easy. So...is it now safe to order from them?

If you're referring to the JP Angler website linked below, then indeed, I have been ordering rods from them without any problems since the spring of 2018. This includes the new Yamaga Blanks Blue Current III 78/B, which I purchased last month upon its release. However, if it concerns a different "JP Angler" website that I'm not aware of, then I regret to say I cannot offer further assistance sir.

Kazu is great. Never had an issue of any sort. He's even ordered out of stock rods for me.

I bought a few things from him back when he was a Rakuten store, and before the '20 Japan Post crash.

@City17Banner - congrats on scoring BCIII-78/B, stated to be a bottom-contact rod.

Got a rod from them a few months ago. Quick to ship, solid packaging, no issues. Also, one of the better shops for communicating with, I could name two others who straight up don't respond to my emails.

i have ordered a few rods and reels from him over the years, and more recently several bait orders over the winter, no complaints at all, all were here in less than a week.
