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 2025 Ballistic MQ LT brings Daiwa's AIRDRIVE design — the architecture that debuted on their high-end spinning reels — down to a much friendlier price. The AIRDRIVE rotor is lighter and better balanced so the reel starts and stops on a dime, the AIRDRIVE ABS long-cast spool trims weight while adding casting distance, and the AIRDRIVE bail flips over cleanly and lays line without fuss. The result is a reel that feels a class lighter than it should for how much backbone it has.

That backbone comes from the MQ monocoque body: instead of a bolted-on side plate, the gear housing is a single sealed ring-locked piece, which stiffens the whole frame, keeps salt out, and leaves room for a larger drive gear. Daiwa cuts that gear 40% thicker — their MQ Tough Digigear — so power transfer holds up under real load, and the main shaft is MAGSEALED, Daiwa's magnetic-oil seal that blocks water and debris from working into the body. Eight bearings plus a roller bearing, two of them corrosion-resistant CRBBs, keep it turning smoothly season after season.

Every size in the 2025 lineup runs a high-speed gear. The 1000D-H and 2000D-H (5.8:1, 11 lb drag, 6.0 oz) are finesse and bay tools — perch, spotted bay bass, light trout gear. The 2500D-XH and 3000D-XH step up to 6.2:1 with 22 lb of max drag, right in the wheelhouse for calico bass, halibut and inshore work, and the 4000D-CXH (6.2:1, 26.4 lb drag) has the speed and capacity to pick up slack fast when a school-size yellowtail or bonito is headed at the boat. All five wear the deep "D" spool, so there's real line capacity behind the compact bodies.

1000D-H — 5.8:1, 28.8" per turn, 6.0 oz, 11 lb drag, J-Braid 6lb/320yd · 8lb/200yd

3000D-XH — 6.2:1, 36.8" per turn, 7.4 oz, 22 lb drag, J-Braid 15lb/250yd · 20lb/220yd
