Why is the MOQ for rods so much lower than for lures?
Short answer
Because the unit value is high enough to cover the setup. Our sample's MOQ runs 20 to 100 pieces, against 2,000 for hooks.
In detail
A US$40 rod makes a 20-piece run worth tooling for; a seven-cent hook does not. It is the same arithmetic that sets every MOQ in this catalog, seen from the other end.
