YGK X-Braid Oddport WX – strength, control and durability
YGK X-Braid Oddport WX is a high-performance braided line designed for anglers who expect maximum control and reliability. Originally developed with saltwater fishing in mind, it performs equally well in freshwater, especially when targeting strong predators with spinning or casting setups.
WX technology and 8-strand construction
The line is built using advanced WX technology combined with an 8-strand structure. This creates a more compact and round profile, improving casting distance and reducing friction in the guides. The braid maintains its shape under load, which results in smoother operation and better line management on the spool.
Sensitivity and lure control
Low stretch ensures excellent bite detection, even when fishing deep or at long range. The line transmits every movement of the lure, making it easier to control presentation and react quickly. This is especially important when targeting species like zander or perch.

YGK
YGK X-Braid is a family of Japanese PE lines created for anglers who need long casts, high strength and precise lure control. From light spinning to demanding saltwater jigging, these braided lines and monofilaments are designed to keep their performance over many sessions.
X-Braid – designed and made in Japan
YGK started as a specialist in braided fishing lines in 1945 and continues to manufacture its products in Japan. Modern X-Braid lines are based on decades of know-how in twisting, braiding and coating high-modulus polyethylene fibres.
- Made in Japan quality with strict control at every production stage
- Optimised combinations of PE fibres, coatings and diameters
- Reliable performance in both fresh and salt water conditions
- Lines tailored to specific techniques and target species
WX braiding method – balance and strength
The WX braiding method developed by YGK precisely controls how each strand is twisted and crossed. Clockwise and counter-clockwise yarns are balanced so that the finished line stays straight, resists twisting and keeps its designed strength and stretch characteristics.
- Round cross-section for better line lay and fewer wind knots
- Dense, compact structure that resists abrasion and fraying
- Stable knot performance with reduced risk of slippage or cutting
- Improved water shedding for quieter and longer casts
