Hi.. if you go to china to buy fishing rod or equipment. you need be carefull. some of the gear's not that good quality and not very reliable. but depent of how much you were spend? for example under $500 fishing equipment done worry. but if over $1000 fishing equipment. you better shopping in hk. eg. wholesaler or one's I know is in tai po Ming kee. they had a lot of comment to help you to buy what you want.
