Twelve months of fighting misinformation, introducing JDM brands to Europe, and chasing horse mackerel through stubborn seasons. Here's to what comes next.
A Year Built on Passion
This store didn't start as a business plan. It started as frustration.
As an angler who lives and breathes Ajing and Light Rock Fishing, I grew tired of seeing this discipline misrepresented, misunderstood, and frankly disrespected by the market. So I built something different: a store run by an angler, for anglers, stocked only with gear that actually works for this style of fishing.
One year later, Ajing.Store ships JDM tackle from Portugal to anglers across Europe, with no import taxes, no compromises, and no generic advice.
What Year One Actually Looked Like
Running a niche store isn't easy, especially when the market is full of noise. The biggest challenge this year? Fighting misinformation. We watched tackle shops recommend 7g jigheads for Ajing, gear built for bass fishing, not for chasing horse mackerel in finesse conditions.
Fighting Misinformation in a Noisy Market
Let's be honest: the biggest challenge wasn't logistics or stock. It was fighting bad advice. In a market where shops sell so-called "Ajing and LRF gear" meant for completely different species, it falls on us to set the record straight - and to educate, not just sell.
Tough Seasons for Horse Mackerel
Add in difficult seasons with horse mackerel feeding poorly across European waters, and you'll understand why trust and knowledge matter more than anything here.
Introducing JDM Brands to European Anglers
Bringing Japanese brands that were virtually unknown in Europe to this market didn't make any of it easier, but it made it worth it. ClearBlue, Arukazik Japan, Rudie's, Gosen, Slash. Names that serious Ajing anglers in Japan trust completely, now available in Europe with no import taxes and no waiting.
A year later, the community is growing. Anglers are learning. And the gear is working.
We're Celebrating With You
To thank every angler who trusted us this first year, we're launching our biggest promotion since the store opened.
The Anniversary Sale: May 15 to May 31
From May 15th to May 31st, discounts run from 23% to 46% across the store. Every category, every brand — soft baits, jigheads, lines, rods, micro jigs. This is our way of saying thank you.
Exclusive Gift for the First 23 Customers
The store turns one on May 23rd — so the first 23 customers during the sale period receive an exclusive box. Our way of marking the date and thanking the community that made this year possible.
Thank You
This store exists because of every angler who took a chance on a brand they'd never heard of, trusted our recommendations, and came back. Year one is done. Year two starts now.
See you on the water. 🎣— Ajing.Store Team
