Request a quote
Direct answer
A request for quotation is a specification, not a product link. Send 6 fields, namely product type, order quantity, material, colourway, packaging format and destination market. Cheery Supply Chain answers against verified factory records within 1 business day, and when a field is missing we name it rather than invent a price. No registration is needed to send an enquiry. Supplier identity and full price ranges follow once a trade account is approved.
Key facts
- [object Object]
- Reply time is 1 business day; an incomplete specification gets a question rather than an invented price.
- No registration is required to send an enquiry.
- Supplier identity is released after a trade account is approved.
Tell us what you are buying and where it is going. If the specification is incomplete we will say which field is missing rather than guess a price.
What happens next
- We check whether the specification maps to a verified supplier record.
- If it does, we come back with a reference price range, the basis, MOQ and lead time.
- If it does not, we tell you which part of the specification is not yet covered by verified data — and, where you want us to, we go and verify it.
What to send, by product family
| Family | What decides the price | What is most often left out |
|---|---|---|
| Soft lures | Material, length, salt content, colourway count, packaging | Colourway tolerance —the range you accept on a repeat order |
| Hard lures and jigs | Body material, weight in g, hook hardware by name, finish | The hook —"owner-style" is not a specification |
| Rods | Blank material, length in m, action, guide set, handle material | Action and guide set, which move the price more than the blank |
| Terminal tackle | Wire gauge, plating, breaking strain, salt-spray testing | Plating, and whether salt-spray testing is in scope |
What happens after you send the specification?
- We check the specification against the reference bands for the sub-category and flag anything that cannot be quoted as written.
- We send back the missing field rather than an invented price, within 1 business day.
- You get a quotation with the unit, the order quantity and the basis stated, so it can be compared with any other.
- Supplier identity is released once a trade account is approved.

How big is the Chinese fishing tackle export market?
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.

Frequently asked questions
What if I do not know the exact specification?
Send the product family, the order quantity and the destination market, then add whatever technical detail you already have. We come back with the field that is missing rather than a price built on an assumption, and we say which part of the specification is not yet covered by verified records.
Do I need an account before sending an enquiry?
No. The form takes an enquiry without registration. Supplier identity, full price ranges with their basis, and sample coordination open once a trade account is approved.
How long does a quotation take?
1 business day for a specification that maps to a verified factory record. If a field is missing we ask for it, and the count restarts when the completed specification arrives.
Can you quote from a photo or a product link?
A photo or a link identifies the family, not the specification. We use it to route the enquiry, then ask for the 6 fields that decide the price, because a link does not state the material, the quantity basis or the colourway tolerance.
