What these factories can actually make
This page states what the factories behind our records make, drawn from the same samples that carry the price bands elsewhere on the site.
- Twelve sub-types are recorded, from rods and reels to hooks, soft plastics, hard baits and terminal tackle.
- MOQ floors run from 20 pieces on rods to 1,000 on the cheapest soft plastic.
- Materials named in the records include ABS, zinc alloy, lead, PVC, carbon and stainless steel.
This page answers one question: what can the factories behind these records actually make. Every figure on it comes from a sample already published elsewhere on the site.
Twelve sub-types, and the floor each one carries
The MOQ floor is set by the process, not by negotiation, so it is the most useful single number for judging whether a programme fits a factory.
- Rods - MOQ 20 to 100 pieces, the lowest floors we record, at US$9.15 to US$132.55 per piece. Carbon blanks, named guide sets, casting and spinning builds.
- Soft plastics - MOQ 50 to 1,000 pieces, US$0.20 to US$3.85. PVC plastisol, TPE and printed bodies, from fork-tail worms to paddle tails and creature baits.
- Spoons and spinnerbaits - MOQ 50 to 500, US$0.31 to US$6.00. Stamped blades, cast heads, wire forms and skirts, which are three parts that can come from three suppliers.
- Hard baits - MOQ 100 on every listing in our sample, US$1.85 to US$3.20. ABS and composite bodies with through-wire or moulded hook hangers.
- Hooks and terminal tackle - MOQ 100 to 2,000 pieces, US$0.07 to US$2.40, across nine listings - the largest sample we hold. Bare hooks, jig heads, assist hooks, weighted worm hooks and nail weights.
- Crankbaits - MOQ 200 to 500, US$0.30 to US$0.85. Bill geometry fixed at tooling.
- Metal jigs - MOQ 200 on four of five listings, US$0.97 to US$2.01. Lead bodies from 20 g to 120 g, where weight moves sixfold while price moves 2.1x.
Beyond those, the records cover minnows, VIBs, octopus skirts, sabiki rigs and soft-plastic multi-packs. Twelve sub-types in total, each with its own tooling and its own assembly.
What the records say about materials
ABS and composite on hard bait bodies. Zinc alloy and lead on casting types. PVC plastisol and TPE on soft plastics. Carbon on blanks. Stainless steel on hooks.
Those are the materials our samples name. Where a record does not state a material, the record says so - it does not guess, and neither does this page.
Where the capacity sits
Records sit in four Chinese clusters. Weihai in Shandong is the rod cluster and the figure we cite is that it accounts for roughly 60% of global rod output. Lures concentrate in Hebei and in the inland clusters at Guan and Xianxian.
The cluster matters to a buyer because it decides which processes are available in one place. A rod programme and a soft plastic programme are not in the same building, and a supplier who says otherwise is brokering rather than manufacturing.
The capability question that is not on this page
Capacity per month is not here. Neither is a factory count, a client list, or a certification you cannot open.
Each of those is a claim that a buyer cannot check from the page, and this site publishes records rather than claims. Where a number exists, it links to the sample behind it. Where it does not, the honest answer is that we do not hold it.
How to use this page
Pick the sub-type first, because it decides the tooling. Then check the MOQ floor against the size of your first order. Then read the record for that type, which carries the unit, the order quantity and the basis on every row.
If the programme does not fit any of these floors, that is a useful answer too - it means the route is a different factory or a different product type, and it is better to learn that before a deposit than after.
