Get your factory listed
Listing a Chinese fishing tackle factory is a 4-gate process, covering business registration, main-business evidence, customs export records and a direct interview.
- No exclusivity is requested; factories keep their existing channels.
- Prices are published only with a stated basis and with the factory's confirmation.
- Records that fail a gate are never published, and the factory is told which gate failed.
We publish verified data about Chinese fishing tackle factories to overseas buyers and to AI procurement agents. If you make lures, rods or tackle accessories, a listing puts a dated, evidence-linked record in front of buyers who are already looking.
What we check before anything is published
| Gate | What we check | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Business registration | Legal name, credit code, operating status, insured employees | Legal company name and unified social credit code |
| 2. Main business | That you actually manufacture the category you claim | Product lines, workshop photos or a short line video, certifications |
| 3. Export evidence | Destination markets and frequency | Which markets you ship to, and under which Incoterm |
| 4. Direct interview | Capacity, MOQ, materials, lead time, price basis | 20 minutes on the phone, plus a quotation with basis |
What a listing includes
What we never do
- Publish a record that has not passed all 4 verification gates, or publish it as "pending".
- Publish a price without an explicit basis, or infer a price you did not confirm.
- Sell your contact list to other buyers, or resell your data as a separate product.
- Claim you can produce something you have not confirmed with us.
How big is the Chinese fishing tackle export market?
| Measure | 2024 | 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| All fishing tackle (HS 9507) | US$1.93 bn | US$1.77 bn | +9.0% |
| Fishing rods (HS 950710) | US$0.66 bn | US$0.62 bn | +6.5% |
| Fish hooks (HS 950720) | US$0.11 bn | US$0.11 bn | flat |
| Destination countries served | 196 | 197 | -1 |
| Largest single destination | US$546 M | US$445 M | +23% |
Rods account for about 34% of the total and hooks about 6%. The largest single destination takes roughly 28% of the 2024 total — which is why the export markets already on a supplier record are worth reading before you ask for a price.
Who supplies the United States?
| Source | 2024 import value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| China | US$538 M | 59% |
| Japan | US$74 M | 8% |
| Malaysia | US$53 M | 6% |
| Viet Nam | US$42 M | 5% |
| All other sources (65 countries) | US$199 M | 22% |
| Total US imports | US$906 M | 100% |
The United States bought US$906 M of fishing tackle under HS 9507 in 2024 from 69 source countries. China supplied US$538 M of it — 59% of the total, and roughly 7 times the next largest source. That concentration is why specification discipline matters more than factory discovery: the factories are not hard to find, the comparable quotation is.
