Chinee Fishing Tackle: Weihai-Style OEM/ODM Factory Spanning Reels, Rods and Lures
Chinee Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd. is a manufacturing-led supplier of fishing tackle whose official site describes a four-line program — fishing boxes, fishing lures, fishing reels, and fishing rods — aimed squarely at professional buyers and brand owners who need OEM and ODM support rather than off-the-shelf product alone.
Product Lines
- Fishing Reels: spinning reels including the MN500 interchangeable-color plastic spinning reel, plus lightweight 4.8:1 ultra-smooth spinning reels in metal
- Fishing Rods: multi-section surf rods up to 4.2 m in carbon fibre, reservoir distance-casting rods, and spinning rod and reel combo sets
- Fishing Lures: slow jigging lead baits from 35 g to 200 g, deep-sea speed jigs at 150–200 g, luminous vertical jigging lures, metal slow-pitch jigs, and soft plastic lures with UV glow
- Fishing Boxes: tackle storage and management boxes for saltwater and freshwater applications
The catalog leans heavily toward saltwater and deep-sea presentations — slow jigging, speed jigging, and surf casting — which is consistent with export-heavy Chinese tackle factories targeting Japan, Korea, Australia, and North American markets.
Capabilities That Matter to Buyers
Three capabilities stand out in the factory’s self-description:
- OEM color service without minimum customization — the factory states it can offer OEM colors on standard models without requiring a custom production run, which lowers the barrier for first private-label orders.
- 3D printing on request — the company says it can produce prototype parts from a photo and color reference, a genuinely useful service for buyers iterating on lure shapes before committing to mold tooling.
- Full-chain services — procurement, assembly, transportation, and financing support beyond the product itself, reflecting the trading-arm model many Weihai-area factories now operate.
Market Coverage
The company reports sales across China plus exports to more than 30 countries and regions, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, the United States, Brazil, and South Africa. Combined with a stated 10-plus years in the fishing gear industry, this positions Chinee as a mid-tier OEM/ODM source rather than a pure component maker or a trading-only intermediary.
Why This Matters for Sourcing
For international buyers evaluating Chinese tackle suppliers, Chinee is representative of the modern Weihai-and-surrounding factory model: manufacturing-led, catalog-wide, and structured around private-label development. The combination of jigging-heavy lure expertise, reel and rod assembly, and prototype support makes it a plausible single-source partner for a saltwater tackle brand — the kind of profile a buyer would want to verify with sample orders and factory audit before scale commitments.
