What do private-label rods cost from a Chinese factory?
Short answer
Our sampled listings quote US$9.15 to US$132.55 per piece for Fishing Rod at MOQ 20 to 100 pieces, which is a factory price basis and nothing more; it excludes freight, duty, packaging and every margin after the factory gate. The spread is largely blank grade, section count and component choice.
In detail
One caution from the same sample: a five-section travel rod is quoted per bag at US$28.05 to US$29.45 at a 20-bag minimum, so the unit basis has to be normalised before any two rod quotes are compared.
The numbers behind this answer
| Label field | What the term describes | What the buyer has to fix |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Power refers to how much weight the rod can cast and runs from ultralight to extra-extra-heavy, on a separate scale from action (Game & Fish; Wired2Fish) | Power plus a cast-weight range in grams or ounces, which is the figure an angler can compare between two rods |
| Label field | What the term describes | What the buyer has to fix |
|---|---|---|
| Printed ratings and the shelf label | Wired2Fish states that power, action and length together define what a rod does, and Game & Fish notes that a medium action rod is really a medium power rod with a fast action (Wired2Fish; Game & Fish) | Line rating in lb and lure rating in grams or ounces printed on the blank and repeated on the packaging and the web listing |
