Ajing Store: a must-stop for exceptional LRF and light rock fishing tackle.
Since July, Ajing Store has been showing up at the top of almost every search I run for light spinning and light rock fishing gear. After this order, I understand why: excellent selection, huge colour choice, prices well below the competition, and a site that feels premium from the first click.
What I ordered*
I stick to the same five-item test basket in every shop so comparisons stay fair. From Ajing Store I bought:
*Not all items were bought in the same order. Prices and shipping are updated as of 1 September 2026.
| Item | Qty | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Gosen Answer Ajing PE X4 Braid150 m · 0.25 · 6 lb | 1 | €21.70 |
| TICT Light Game Compact Shock Leader40 m · 0.8 · 4.1 lb | 1 | €8.95 |
| TICT Flopper Bros 55Colour 02 Pinkhead Chili | 1 | €10.90 |
| TICT Gyopin 1.7"Colour C-8 Muranago | 1 | €5.25 |
| TICT Mebasta JigheadSize L · 3.5 g | 1 | €5.25 |
| Subtotal (VAT included) | €52.05 | |
| Shipping | €9.95 (waived over €100) | |
| Total paid | €100+ (included extra items) | |
In the end I added a few extra packets and a spare spool to push the order over €100 and unlock free shipping. An offer like that is hard to refuse when the prices are already this good.
The stock shown on the site matched what arrived. Every item was the exact model and colour I selected, which is not something I can say about every shop I have tested.
The website
The store is clean, fast and easy to navigate. Product pages have clear photos, specs and colour options, and checkout accepts Apple Pay, PayPal and card — exactly the kind of payment flexibility I like when ordering from abroad. The site feels premium: fast filters, good photos, and stock status you can actually trust.
It is not a giant generalist with every light spinning brand on the shelf. For LRF specifically, though, this is the most complete selection I have found in Europe — and in some cases better stocked than shops I have browsed in Japan. Colour options are generous across most of the range, which matters a lot when you are matching local baitfish.
Customer service
I did not need to chase them. Order confirmation arrived immediately, shipping notification followed quickly, and the tracking link worked from the first click. I also received an email for every event — order summary, dispatch, the lot — which is exactly the transparency I want when ordering abroad. Compared with shops where I have to ask the same question four times, this felt effortless.
Prices
Product prices are well below the competition. The same five-item basket cost me €52.05 at Ajing Store, compared with €69.10 at Tsouros Marine for a very similar set. That is a big difference for the same Japanese brands. The Gosen braid at €21.70 and the TICT lures are priced closer to Japanese retail than to the usual European markup.
The €9.95 shipping charge on the test basket is easy to erase: free delivery starts at €100. I ended up adding a few more items to cross that threshold, because an offer like that is hard to refuse when the prices are already this good.
Shipping & delivery
Monday

3 days

Acceptable
Bubble wrap, original packets intact
I ordered on Monday and the parcel was in my hands on Thursday — three days from Portugal to southern Italy with Italian Post. The tracking page was always available and updated at every step, so I never had to guess where the package was.
The outer mailer was slightly torn during transport, but that was bad luck rather than bad packing. Inside, everything was wrapped in bubble paper and each item was still in its original packet. There were no extra boxes, but the original packaging was enough to keep the gear pristine. A personalised thank-you card was also tucked into the parcel, with a discount code for the next order — a small touch that left me genuinely grateful.
Shipping is free on orders over €100, which is a reasonable threshold for a Portuguese shop shipping tackle abroad. I crossed it, so my actual order shipped for free. On a €52 basket the €9.95 charge is not excessive, but crossing €100 made more sense.
The gear
Everything arrived new, sealed and genuine. The Gosen braid was on the reel the next morning, the TICT leader tied straight to a jighead, and the lures went into the box in perfect condition. Quality is exactly what I expect from these brands: Japanese line and Japanese lures, well stored and properly handled.
Selection
The catalogue is not huge in brand count — there are plenty of generalist light spinning names missing. What matters is that, for the brands they do carry, they seem to stock almost the entire range. That is a big difference from shops that list a brand but only have three colours and two sizes available. For LRF, this makes Ajing Store a near-compulsory stop if you want exceptional gear for the style.
What the shop got right
- Accurate stock and correct colours
- Fast shipping with working tracking
- Fair product prices for Japanese tackle
- Modern checkout with Apple Pay, PayPal and card
- Free shipping threshold of €100 is reachable
What I would improve
- Slightly stronger outer mailer for international transit
Bottom line
Ajing Store is the most pleasant surprise of the shops I have reviewed so far. It is Portuguese, it stocks the Japanese brands I actually fish with, the prices are well below the competition, and the delivery to Italy was fast and hassle-free. The torn packaging keeps it from a perfect score, but the gear inside was perfect — and that is what matters most. For anyone chasing exceptional LRF tackle, this shop is a near-compulsory stop. I will order again, probably with a slightly bigger basket to unlock free shipping.
