A town of three hundred workshops. One shop in front of them.
Geshan is a cluster of villages in Dongyang, Zhejiang, an inland town with no coastline and no fishing fleet. It has been drawing nylon since the 1980s and now produces roughly 70% of China's fishing line and about 55% of the world's. The factories are excellent at extrusion and braiding, and historically terrible at explaining any of it to anglers.
We exist in that gap. Not a trading company with a catalogue of everything; a line brand that buys from a short list of workshops, holds the specs ourselves, and answers the email when a spool fails.
How a workshop gets on the list
Four filters, applied before price is discussed.
Own extrusion
If the workshop buys finished yarn and only winds spools, the diameter is out of their control. We buy from workshops that draw their own mono or braid their own PE.
Export paperwork
REACH and SVHC statements, material declarations, and a batch code we can trace back to a run. No paperwork, no order.
Consistency, not peak
Three consecutive batches within tolerance beats one perfect sample. We test the boring middle of their production, not the hand-made sample.
Willingness to be named
Workshops that refuse to appear on a spec sheet are usually selling someone else's seconds. Ours are named on request.
Spec, spool, copy
Line diameter and rating are specified by us; the spool, band, card and every claim on this site are ours. If the page is wrong, the fault is ours.
No house-brand games
We do not sell the same spool under three brand names at three prices, and we do not print a test result we have not run.
Factory-direct, with the risk in the right place
We buy finished spools, not containers. That means we pay more per unit than an importer with a 20-foot container and a 90-day letter of credit — and it means we can change a workshop when the diameter drifts, without writing off a year of stock.
