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.

Japanese Market Versions of the popular Azores Spinning Reels
Okuma stepped up their saltwater spinning reels with the Azores a couple years ago, and then doubled down with the excellent Coronado bait feeder series of reels last year. At ICAST 2018 they showed off the Japanese market version of the Azores, and based upon dealer feedback decided to bring these to the USA market. Like the other Azores, these reels feature the precision Dual Force Drag system, precision click drag adjustment, multi-disc Carbonite and felt drag washers, 6 1 corrosion resistant stainless steel bearings, quick-set anti-reverse roller bearing, dual anti-reverse system for maximum security, precision machine cut brass pinion gear, rigid diecast aluminum body, sideplate and rotor, machined anodized aluminum spool, hydro block water tight drag seal…
There are some specific differences between the Japanese and standard versions of the Azores reels. The Blue models offer getter gears, longer lasting, with greater pulling power given their larger size. Please click on the Okuma document at the right for more details. The new 2019 BLUE Azores are a significant upgrade product (which is an excellent reel anywhere near it’s price), but these Japanese market Okuma reels don’t have the expected “upgrade” price. I’d say get ’em before the guys at Okuma realize they came to market too low…
