KOREA, Where to buy fishing equipment

[BHubb]

Finally made it Korea and getting settled.  Wondering if anone here knows where they sell fishing equipment?  Last time I was here was in 1995 and I thought some of the guys said there was a Shimano plant they toured.  Do they have one, did they have one and if so anyone know where it's located? 

Trying to get my stuff together so I can hit the water again.  Thanks

BHubb, are you based at Humphreys?
I believe that plant/factory does not exist anymore. If you are at Humphreys I believe there is a small but well equipped tackle store located somewhere along the main river that runs behind the base. Just be aware that prices here high. Most of the tackle is imported from the US or Japan.

I'm based at Osan.  Been here two weeks and will pick up a car Monday (nothing fancy, just wheels to get around town.  I though the plant may have closed since I could buy stuff this go around and had a  of stuff I wanted.  Might just have to order stuff and have friends mail it over.

Pretty nice shop between Humphreys and Osan. On the river, stuff is kind of expensive but you will pay about he same to ship anything. BassPro ships pretty fast to here, I ordered some rod socks and got them within a week.

You'll be able to get stuff shipped to your APO address. Not sure about rods though.
