Delivery & Shipping

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free domestic shipping on most orders over $150 subtotal. This excludes oversized and bulky items such as rods, blanks, gaffs, some tackle boxes, lobster nets, landing nets and other large items. Any 1 piece rod over 7'10" in length often incurs the biggest oversize fees charged by domestic shipping companies although we do have lower rates via other carriers on the West Coast. Any additional shipping fees will be automatically calculated at checkout before any billing is done.

What countries do you ship to?

We currently ship products within the US and to almost every country in the world, covering all available destination via UPS and DHL. International shipping times depend on the products and destination. Shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout, for most countries we also collect Duties and Taxes and prepay them so you do not have to deal with the carrier or customs.

How long will it take to get my order?

Standard shipping can take 3-8 business days depending on location and order volume. If you have requested spooling on your reel or rigging on your lures then it could take an additional day or two. Next day & 2 day shipping is available on most domestic orders (for an additional charge). Orders placed after 12pm Pacific Standard Time will be processed the next business day.

What carriers do you ship with?

We work with UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, GLS and DHL. When your order qualifies for free shipping or has a rod that qualifies for discounted shipping we reserve the right to choose which carrier it is sent with, otherwise you can pick the service you want. UPS Ground ranges from 1 to 7 day delivery, USPS Priority Mail is typically 1-3 days but is not a guaranteed express service, and USPS Ground Advantage takes roughly 3-7 business days. Longer rods are generally sent via GLS unless otherwise specified, this service ranges from 1 - 10 days.

Prop 65 Warning ⚠

The Big Berty is about as heavy duty as it gets for a topwater popping rod, with enough length and pulling power to fish the biggest lures and catch the biggest fish. These are the perfect rods for targeting the bigger bluefin here in SoCal, and they’ll even pack up short for when you travel to OBX, Fiji or anywhere else in the world. You’ll want to pair one of these with the biggest spinners you can find, no less than a 20000 size ideally something like the Okuma Makaira 30000 just to get the right line capacity of 100 or 130lb braid. These have a lot of recoil but once you put a 30lb drag load on them they’ll bend enough to keep the fight comfortable without putting you on your toes.

They look great and have high quality Fuji components to withstand a lot of abuse without compromising on overall feel since they are still rather light for the line class they have to deal with. You’ll want the biggest poppers you can find in the 150-220g range or stickbaits in the 220g+ range.

From the Manufacturer:

We developed Big Berty as a all rounder big game casting rod. Whether it’s a 70kg GT or 200lb Tuna, Big Berty is what you want when battling these creatures.
Weighing at 410g which is 10% lighter than most rod of its class, Big Berty is finished in a very classy iridescent bronzy green finish.

Ribbed EVA Foregrip for better grip
