Welcome to JapanTackle.com website. This is Jun Sonoda, owner of JapanTackle.com. I sincerely appreciate your long-term relationships with JapanTackle.com since 2002.

I am testing and selecting products, offering them to customers and consulting customers for how to upgrade tackles. I will continue dealing with high quality products available in Japan from wide range of manufacturers, from large manufacturers like Shimano and Daiwa, to small hand-crafting manufacturers like Avail, Extreme and DRT. Please feel free to email for technical questions, recommendations, trade and anytime you want to talk with me. Email Jun. 

Please check Tackle Topics pages as well for your more understanding of tackle upgrades and Japanese fishing tackle. I list discontinued fishing reels at Casting reels archives and Spinning reels archives, hoping you find them quite valuable to understand fishing reels sold in Japan in the past. Hope you enjoy my new website, which was renewed in July 2015. 

Best regards,  

Jun Sonoda and team JapanTackle

For your reference, I haven't used eBay since 2003. I am not related to anyone there. I do not sell any products on eBay, or do not offer any warranty for the products sold there. But, if you are in need of help for servicing reels bought there, I will be happy to help. I don't deal with fishing rods, sorry.
