this is a god video. it may seem like something that's straightforward on it's face, but you've managed to address the nuance of it pretty well.

I’m happy you made this video. I am so tired of trying to explain this. It’s not so hard. And these are very successful people 😝. Will be sending link to everyone.

Asian portal fishing vs other Japanese stores. Ordered a 2020 Alphas air last Tuesday received it this past Monday. Here’s the kicker, the new 2020 alphas air was bought for 270 unlike other Japanese store who sold theirs for 350-360. Also it’s free shipping too!

Ive heard of them, never bought anything from them though.

[@tammys2552]

Great video! Thank you!! I've been looking for something like this - it's helpful to know what to look for in "fake" sites and which ones are good ones. Question for you - do you have to pay extra fees (i.e., import taxes or duties) for items purchased from Japan?

[@THEREELTEST]

Ive only had to pay a customs fee 1 time, and that was for a 1 piece rod shipped via UPS. Never had to pay customs on anything shipped EMS or FEdEx

Is digitaka reliable for buying the more expensive things like shimano reels. Please lmk because I’m a little skeptical about ordering from there.

[@muskyvictim]

[@tamalpias]

i have bought multiple shimano stella reels. don't think they get much pricier than that. tip is to make them separate purchases, don't make 1 big order or you will trigger the federal sales tax.

[@philipfalco7304]

Thanks for the Video. Today I went to Asian portal to buy a reel but before I checked out I notice a flag that stated: Customs charges and VAT charges may need to be paid so I didn't complete my order. Can you please explain?

[@chaoyang9080]

My problem is not how to buy them but how to stop buying them. I’ve purchased so many shimano reels in the past year. And I think I am gonna buy more.

[@THEREELTEST]

The good thing about Shimano is that they sell used pretty fast and for much more money than Daiwa

[@erickrentz111]

Is aisan fishing portal a legit website for buying stuff off of?

Great Video Man; I order from Japan Tackle and one EBay seller exclusively and have never had any bad experiences. Crazy, the shipping from Japan took a whopping three days from time of purchase to arrival to my home in Texas thru DHL. I did preorder the new SLX BFS, before, the announcement of the Curado BFS; I can cancel the pre-order and get my $100 back and apply it to the Curado, but I think I may just stick it out with that SLX... Thoughts?

[@THEREELTEST]

As far as I see, the only difference between the Curado BFS vs the SLX Bfs is color and handle. Spools should weigh the same but we wont know until they both come out
