Chinalure

Booth Setup Complete: Chinalure Ready for CGC EXPO (Autumn) 2026

The ladders are down, the floor is swept, and every hook has been straightened one last time. This afternoon our team finished setting up the Chinalure booth at the Weihai International Economic and Trade Exchange Center, one day before the 18th China (Weihai) Fishing Gear Manufacturing Capital Expo opens its doors.

Setting up a lure booth is slower work than it looks. Each wall display was planned at the factory in advance, then hung piece by piece this morning: rows of soft plastic lures sorted by body and color, squid jigs lined up in full color runs, and the heavier trolling gear, including spreader bars and teaser rigs, placed at eye level where the light hits the tape best. The blue backdrop panels with our Chinalure banners went up last, and by late afternoon the booth looked the way it does in the photo above.

The show itself is a big one for our home city. This year's edition fills 70,000 square meters with more than 1,000 exhibitors, including two dozen companies from outside China, and it runs for three days:

What we are bringing to the table

Three things, mostly. First, the new 2026 soft bait line, including the 9 inch shad in the colors distributors have been asking about all year. Second, our lead-free jig head program, which has grown from a side range into a full catalog of its own. Third, the OEM and ODM desk: if you have a design, a sample, or just an idea scribbled on paper, bring it by the booth and we will quote it on the spot or within a few days of the show.

If you are walking the show on any of the three days, come say hello. The coffee pot will be on, and there is always room at the sample table for one more visitor.

Daily reports to follow

We will update this page every day of the show with photos from the floor: opening morning crowds, visitor meetings, new product reactions, and anything else worth reporting. Bookmark this page or check back each evening.
