Geshan · Dongyang · Zhejiang
Half the world's fishing line comes from one town. We're the shop in front of it.
Eight-strand braid, mono and fluorocarbon leader, made in the workshop cluster that produces 55% of the world's fishing line. We buy it by the pallet, wrap it under our own label, and sell it by the metre — not by the marketing.

01 / Sets
Four sets, four kinds of water
Sets exist because a single spool is a bad way to buy line: shipping costs more than the line, and you always need a leader. Each set is built around one job.
02 / Spec
The only table that matters
Boxes quote a tensile number and a length. Neither tells you what a metre costs or how thick the line actually is. Here is both, per SKU.
| SKU | Construction | Length | Rating (nominal) | Diameter | Price | Per metre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GS-B8-150 | 8-carrier UHMWPE | 150 m | 20–50 lb | 0.16–0.26 mm | $19 | $0.127 |
| GS-B4-300 | 4-carrier UHMWPE | 300 m | 20–40 lb | 0.18–0.26 mm | $23 | $0.077 |
| GS-MN-300 | Nylon mono (PA6) | 300 m | 8–15 lb | 0.25–0.35 mm | $9 | $0.030 |
| GS-FC-050 | PVDF fluorocarbon | 50 m | 15–25 lb | 0.33–0.42 mm | $16 | $0.320 |
| GS-B4-1000 | 4-carrier UHMWPE, bulk | 1000 m | 30 lb | 0.22 mm | $79 | $0.079 |
Figures are supplier nominal specs. Measured diameters and break strengths are published on the Line Lab page as each SKU is verified — we do not print a number we have not tested.
03 / Line Lab
We publish the diameter we measure, not the one on the box
Cheap line is cheap for a reason: the number on the label is often the marketing number. A "0.16 mm" braid measuring 0.19 mm costs you casting distance and spool capacity, and nobody notices until the fish of the season spools them.
Every SKU we carry goes through a micrometer check at three points, a knot-pull break test, and a 24-hour water soak before it gets a page. Results are published, including the ones that fail.
04 / Small shops
Fifty spools is a wholesale order here
Most factories will not talk to you under a thousand pieces. We will. Independent shops, guides, marinas and club buyers order 50–300 spools at a time, mixed across braid, mono and fluoro, from a US warehouse.

05 / Where it comes from
A town of 300 workshops, and one shop in front of them
Geshan is a cluster of townships in Dongyang, Zhejiang. It has been drawing nylon since the 1980s and now supplies 70% of China's fishing line and about 55% of the world's. The factories there are excellent at extrusion and braiding, and historically terrible at talking to anglers.
We are the English-language shop for that capability: we pick the workshops, hold the specs, wrap the spools, and answer the email when a line fails. The money-back guarantee is ours, not a trading company's.
How we choose factories
06 / Refills
Line is a consumable. Buy it like one.
Braid loses abrasion resistance long before it breaks. A refill every three months costs less than one lost fish, and it ships free.
