Cangzhou Bohai Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd. — Hebei's Ice Fishing Specialist

Cangzhou Bohai Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd. (沧州渤海钓具有限公司) is one of China’s most specialized ice fishing tackle manufacturers, operating from Cangzhou, Hebei Province since 2001. With approximately 220 employees and annual revenue around ¥35 million (~$4.9 million), the factory occupies a specific niche that few Chinese tackle producers serve: winter and ice fishing equipment.

Ice Fishing Specialization

Unlike the vast majority of Chinese fishing tackle factories concentrated in the coastal rod-and-reel clusters of Weihai and Ningbo, Cangzhou Bohai has built its business around cold-water and winter angling products. Its core categories include:

• Ice fishing rods: Short, sensitive designs from 18 to 36 inches, built for sub-zero performance
• Ice fishing reels: Inline and compact models with low-temperature lubricant specifications
• Winter fishing apparel: Jackets, bibs, gloves and boots
• Mechanical tip-ups: Traditional ice fishing strike indicators

Market Focus — Russia and Beyond

Approximately 60% of the factory’s revenue comes from Russia and CIS countries, where ice fishing is a widespread winter tradition. The factory holds GOST-R certification for the Russian market alongside ISO 9001 quality management compliance, and maintains Prop 65 documentation for North American export channels.

The factory also served as an early OEM production partner for Piscifun’s ice fishing rod line, the US-based brand that has grown rapidly through direct-to-consumer channels. Piscifun’s ice rods — designed in the US and manufactured in China — are likely sourced at least in part from Cangzhou Bohai’s production lines.

Production Specifications

• Lead time: 45–60 days for ice fishing rods
• MOQ: 1,000 units for ice rods, 500 units for ice reels
• Compliance: ISO 9001, GOST-R, California Prop 65

Buyer Considerations

For international buyers, Cangzhou Bohai offers a rare combination: a factory that genuinely understands the thermal and mechanical requirements of ice fishing gear, rather than a generalist rod maker repurposing summer tackle designs for cold-weather use. The Russia-heavy customer base provides a natural reference point for quality in extreme conditions. Buyers expanding into North American or Scandinavian ice fishing markets would find this factory’s specialization directly relevant.
