Product Development Concept

Pocket

Fujino Line(formerly Fujino Nylon) is the manufacturer specialized in fishing line since its foundation in 1957, when nylon fishing line industry was still in its early stage in Japan. We manufacture a wide variety of shaped line products ranging from extra fine lines, tapered lines, to braided lines. We also deal in not only our own brand products but also domestic and overseas OEM products. Recently, some other pieces of fishing tackle have been improved by the developments of fishing lines. This shows that fishing lines play big roles nowadays. Fishing lines change the way you fish. Some fishing lines enable you to have a strike bite you have never had and land a fish you have never been able to hook. Fishing lines exist as one of the most important pieces of fishing tackle, which deepen the relationship between anglers and fish. We are particular about their existence, and believe that pursuing the development of fishing lines while specialized in them is of great value. Our technology concept is “Deliver the most advanced fishing technology to more anglers”. We continue to make our best efforts to manufacture creative and detailed products based on the concept.

Thickness measurement with the analog thickness gauge

As this is the method where the thickness is measured at a pin point by hand, a variation in measurement is shown depending on the grip strengths. Different thicknesses are shown depending on the measurers although they measure the thickness of the same line. We are very careful when we measure the thicknesses of super thin lines because the sizes change due micro level errors.

We use the inspection method where there is no variation in measurement by measurers, continuously measuring the thicknesses of sufficiently long lines linearly with the laser sensor.

In order to manufacture high quality lines, it is essential to have all of the following elements: “ highly precious and specialized machines“, “a number of data accumulated, and “very professional staff“.

Fujino Line is a small professional group who knows all about product making Based on the concept that “Fishing lines change and changes to fishing happen“, we are thinking outside the box, trying new things and struggling to evolve, focusing on the importance of “line“ .

How are Fujino’s lines made from materials?

We manufacture our products in-house, turning raw materials into finished products.

  • step1

    This is the raw material. Transparent lines will be made if the material is not combined with other materials.
  • step2

    Color chips are combined to color lines.
  • step3

    This shows the first stage where the materiasl are becoming lines.
  • step4

    This shows the first stage where the materiasl are becoming lines.
  • step5

    This shows the second stage where the materials are becoming lines.
  • step6

    This shows the third stage where the materials are becoming lines.
  • step7

    The lines are being wound on the bobbins.
  • step8

    The strengths and elongation rates of the lines are measured with the measuring equipment.
    • The lines are being wound on the small spools.
