The fishing line to choose depends on the fish to be caught, the fishing conditions and the method. The choice also influences the tackle used.
YGK primarily manufactures PE lines, the mainstay of today's fishing lines, for big game and finesse fishing, including sea lure fishing, boat fishing and surf casting. We also offer a wide variety of monofilament lines, including fluorocarbon and nylon, to give anglers the best performance regardless of their fishing method or setup.
There are various theories about fishing, but there are no absolute rules.
YGK is, in a sense, a go-it-alone company.
As experts in fishing lines, we only introduce products to the market that we are thoroughly confident in, not because we expect them to be popular.
It is up to the angler to decide how to use the lines in any given situation.
We believe that because we make the best products for fishing, we can fulfil anglers' inspiration, ingenuity, and relentless pursuit of perfection.
Environmental issues are an unavoidable topic for companies.
In the case of a fishing line, the spool poses a greater environmental impact than the line itself.
As a fishing line manufacturer, YGK has addressed this challenge by manufacturing spools in-house, thus enabling the use of recycled resin.
We are promoting eco-friendly manufacturing, such as using plant-based biodegradable resins, to meet international demands and reduce industrial waste.
YGK's X-BRAID brand includes a range of products bearing the name Gear & Apparel.
The range includes fishing glasses, tote bags, caps, T-shirts, and outerwear.
We also develop products in partnership with Japanese outdoor brands.
They are all born out of our desire to make the anglers who love X-BRAID appreciate our pursuit of perfection even more.
YGK products are produced by proprietary equipment.
The equipment is designed and built by the company's in-house engineers.
If it does not exist out there, we will create it. That is easier said than done.
However, Japan has some of the world’s best equipment makers.
So does YGK.
At YGK, engineers with experience in this field are responsible for manufacturing equipment and passing on their skills and know-how to young engineers so that, soon, they can contribute to society through equipment manufacturing.
Equipment that is truly necessary. Useful automation.
Our engineering business aims to address and realise viable factory automation earnestly.
