The Proprietary "WX Manufacturing Method" That Redefined the Concept of PE Fishing Lines
Each carrier is carefully braided one by one to produce exceptionally strong, high-quality fishing lines.
What we pursue is the ultimate. Our challenge toward further evolution never ends.

  The Ultimate Technology
  - WX Manufacturing Method

  Nearly all PE lines are braided using a process known as square braiding.
  Raw yarn wound onto clockwise and counterclockwise rotating bobbins is gradually drawn out and interwoven to form a single line.
  Just as line twist occurs when line is released from a spinning reel, twist is also generated when yarn is pulled from the bobbins. If the clockwise and counterclockwise bobbins precisely apply twist in their respective directions during braiding, the resulting line achieves excellent balance with no one-sided twist.
  However, conventional braiding machines lacked the mechanisms necessary to achieve this level of precision.
  To solve this, we independently developed the structure of our braiding machines, manufacturing and assembling each carrier unit in-house with meticulous care.

  Strength and Durability

  Strong and resilient.
  Lines braided using the WX Manufacturing Method are constructed with clockwise and counterclockwise yarns positioned in perfect balance. This results in superior linear strength and overall stability.
  For example, just as a twisted rubber band naturally returns to its original shape when released, even if line twist occurs during actual fishing, one yarn becomes over-twisted while the other unwinds, creating a natural restoring force that resists permanent twisting.
  Because the line resists twisting, knots are less likely to loosen or lift, minimizing strength loss at the knot.
  In addition, the tightly twisted structure creates a compact, solid line - much like a tightly wrung cloth - resulting in excellent abrasion resistance and superior water-shedding performance.
  Most importantly, because the line naturally returns to its original state, its designed stretch characteristics and strength are maintained over long periods of use, allowing anglers to enjoy consistent performance throughout extended fishing sessions.
  We develop each product individually, optimizing balance according to specific fishing styles and target species, while continuing to create lines anglers can truly feel are "strong and resilient."

  High Quality

  Because PE lines are braided constructions, the weave naturally opens, resulting in excellent flexibility and reduced memory. However, this also creates drawbacks such as reduced stiffness, increased risk of tangling, and poor water drainage due to moisture retention within the braid structure.
  Additionally, since PE lines are made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene resin, they have poor adhesive properties, causing coatings applied for added stiffness to peel more easily.
  We continue evolving the technologies passed down through generations in pursuit of the ultimate fishing line.
  In 2019, we launched a double-structure PE line featuring a core yarn surrounded by an outer braided sheath created using the WX Manufacturing Method.
  In addition to the structural stiffness provided by its core-sheath construction, pressure-applied resin processing significantly improved coating durability.
  We continue to advance this technology even further. For example, just as automotive coatings now use self-healing polymers capable of repairing minor scratches automatically, we are developing fishing line coatings with self-repairing capabilities to create ideal lines that maintain stiffness and performance over extended use.
