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.

The Solterra series has been a great budget line of lever drag reels especially so with the recent bluefin fishing that has become normal in California. They carry an entry level price with great performance, they come in the right two speed sizes that give you the line capacity you need with the appropriate gear ratios and drag for the sizes. I saw quite a few fish over 100lb landed on the larger 30 and 50W on our own Red Rooster charters. The Solterra’s also make great trolling reels whether bluefin are around or not, they still make a great backup wahoo piece or budget reel for the local marlin, yellowtail and threshers.

All of the two speed and even the other single speed models feature two thrust bearings which is great for winding under a lot of pressure, this also keeps your freespool solid at high drag which is something other reels get wrong. The gear ratios are 3.8 and 1.7:1 on the low for the smaller two sizes which is lower than the Penn Fathom 40’s and 60’s guys have been using as their budget alternatives. The larger 50W size goes all the way down to 1.3:1 which will be great if you hook into a bluefin on the troll since you’re likely going to be missing 200-300 yards off the reel already. While the model sizes are similar these aren’t Makaira’s so they don’t have the extra durability of a machined aluminum frame. Despite the lack of machined aluminum the graphite frame that is heavily reinforced with steel hold up well even in a harness.
