...the reels may arrive surprisingly fast.

In all seriousness, I've never had a problem with them. Good vendor.

Never shopped with JPF, but if i was you i would go Digitaka [who i have shopped with and are very reliable and fast].

Simple reason, theyre cheaper.

Getting Caldias from Japan you will only get 1 spool, not 2 as you do in Aus, this is one of the reason they are so much cheaper overseas.

I buy most of my tackle from japanprofishing. Honestly, I receive quicker ems and ups delivery to Darwin from Japan than I do via auspost from Melbourne. Their shipping prices are good as well. Highly recommended... An unlike digitaka, you can buy a few lures as well for no extra postage with a reel!

I checked out japan pro fishing's site, but it wouldn't work properly for me. Each time I went to select a reel model or a lure colour I just got a black screen. Is it just me, or am I doing something stupid?

From what I could see, their prices and variety of products are excellent. It's a pity I simply can't make any purchases.

jpf site has malicious content at the moment (virus) which my computer got. Wasn't a big deal to get rid of but untill they sort out whoever's hacked them i'd stick with digitaka

What are the shipping fees for a reel to Australia (Melbourne) like for both Digitaka and JPF? bass.jp are more expensive, however they do free shipping on all orders to Australia.
