由 Justin Ault If you’re looking for a used Orvis Encounter Fly Rod 4-Piece Set from Japan with free shipping, here are some tips to help you find it:
Where to Look:
1. eBay – Search for “Orvis Encounter Fly Rod 4-Piece Used Japan” and filter by “Free Shipping” and “International Shipping.” Sellers from Japan often list used fly rods.
2. Rakuten Global / Rakuten Mercari – Japanese sellers frequently list used fishing gear here. Try searching in Japanese: 「オービス エンカウンター フライロッド 中古」.
3. Yahoo Auctions Japan – Use a proxy service (like Buyee or ZenMarket) to bid on Japanese auctions. Search for 「オービス エンカウンター 4ピース」.
4. Facebook Marketplace / Fly Fishing Groups – Some international sellers offer free shipping.
5. Amazon Japan – Check the used section (sometimes ships internationally).
Things to Check:
– Condition – Ask for photos of the rod sections, guides, and reel seat.
– Shipping Costs – Some listings say “free shipping” but only domestically; confirm international shipping.
– Authenticity – Ensure it’s a genuine Orvis rod (some Japanese resellers deal in high-quality used gear).
Alternative Options:
If you can’t find one from Japan, consider:
– Used on US/EU sites (e.g., Orvis Clearwater, eBay US) with reasonable international shipping.
– New Encounter Rods – Orvis sometimes offers free shipping on new sets.
