Chinese are not worried who they sell to, just send them an email and buy "a sample" with paypal at the same price as a brand would pay

You can see some here Fly reel

So many recognisable brand names on there, including Sage 3200 and Greys, not to mention the clothing, waders and tools etc.

Or you could just save the aggro, and buy through one of FFF's 'unauthorized' dealers, that do them at a fair price anyway!


For examples of unfair pricing, look at Fly reels on the piketrek website

........ and put the last nail in the coffin for the brand names who do the research and development for new products

Perhaps the time has come for the brands to show these factories the same level of respect ....... and shop elsewhere

Before they are faced with paying even more folk off next Christmas

Best wishes
