Greetings dear Google researchers,

I had a feisty multi-group of questions that I needed answers to, I
still do and I have broken them down and reslited them.

As you might understand this is of quite some importance and I will tip
accordingly to the level of my satisfaction.

200 is the top I could set for this question and 100 extra if I am
getting the answer I seek I see as most reasonable.

@Q: Largest fishing (regular lure & tackle must be included in their
agenda) equipment distributors in the follow countries, please list
all you come by for each region by size of market share if possible:

Requirements: 
1 At least 1 for each region listed must NOT be owned by a fishing
lure / tackle company, ie Rapala (Normark, although my understanding
is they do sell other vendors products?) or Pure Fishing, but please
do feel free to list all. Although minor ones with minor market share
are of no interest! Only interested in the larger distributors. But,
if one not owned by lure company, better to include one too many than
one too few. As too few here is not really possible.

2 GREAT (!) if % of market share could be provided. Yearly sales in $
good but not necessary, for region, not international. Number of ways
to consider market share, sales, number of resellers etc. The number
of resellers is that which I find most important as I want to reach as
many as possible.

3: Some form of contact information must be provided, be it a link to
website, mail address or phone number. Web site preferred.

4: Distributors specialized and only dealing with fly-fishing are of NO interest.

5: Distributors that only sell their own brands are of no interest,
although I do not mind they are listed if they are large as that is
interesting and important for a number of reasons (great if market
share is included!) but if so, do state they only sell their own
products. IE I do believe Pure Fishing works like this.

6: Nice if owner structure is included, IE family company for 4
generations? Just bought by Company X, newly started etc. Do not focus
on this, more that it is good if you include if you find it.

My understanding of the distribution in this market is not infinite,
maybe there is 5 large distributors for one continent with nearly no
country level distributors for one area? Distributors might have 10%
share in one country and large direct sales companies buying direct
form manufactures might have 90%? Maybe in one area
(US/Russia/China/Japan?) there are nation wide distributors but only
State/territory level distributors? If so list after reality and the
list and state so. IE in Sweden the distributors and their resellers
stand for 80% of the items, while in Norway over 60% is sold by groups
of companies handling their own purchases.

The list below is from http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/eco_fis_sub
where the $ market value for each country related to fishing is
listed. Their interest to me is in order as listed.


1-5(6?) VITAL (more distributors listed, % share and $ yearly sales /
profit / margin is desiered if it can be found) importance
6-10 GREAT () importance.
11-26 IMPORTANT.
27-32 Appreciated if included.

USA and Canada. It is vital I understand these markets, who is who and
their relation to the market, how they work etc. !!!

@Q 2: Explain in depth of the Japanese, American, Russian and Canadian
markets work.

Relist from above for q2:
My understanding of the distribution in this market is not infinite,
maybe there is 5 large distributors for one continent with nearly no
country level distributors for one area? Distributors might have 10%
share in one country and large direct sales companies buying direct
form manufactures might have 90%? Maybe in one area

stand for 80% of the items, while in Norway over 60% is sold by groups
of companies handling their own purchases.

*** Bonus, not necessary ***
@Q 3: In general, do any of these countries have restrictions for
importing fishing tackles / lures from China, which part will have to
file papers? The one shipping them out of China or the part receiving
them from China? Obviously before they leave papers must be done.
