The story of the brand

Leonel Pereira, a childhood passion turned into a brand

It all starts with Leonel Pereira and his love of sport fishing, which began in childhood. In 1993, he set up Artfishing SL in Catalonia. The firm now owns the Yuki and Fishus brands.

The early years were about importing. Leonel Pereira brought top quality braids from Japan, then built up a wide collection of lines. This link with Japan still shapes the range: the Neox fluorocarbon is made by Seaguar for Yuki.

In 2003, the company moved its offices and main buildings to Sitges. The goal was to improve service and grow abroad. Yuki relies on match anglers and holds the Yuki Masters surfcasting event. Rodhouse stocks its fluorocarbon and nylon lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about the brand

Who founded the Yuki Competition brand?

Yuki Competition was started by Leonel Pereira, who has loved sport fishing since childhood. He founded Artfishing SL in Catalonia in 1993. Artfishing owns the Yuki and Fishus brands. Since 2003, the company has been based in Sitges, Spain.

Is Yuki a Japanese brand?

Despite its name, Yuki is a Spanish brand, founded in Catalonia and based in Sitges. Its link with Japan lies in its lines. The brand began by importing Japanese braids. Its braids, fluorocarbons and nylons still come from Japan.

What is the Yuki Seaguar Neox fluorocarbon?

Neox is a fluorocarbon made in Japan by Seaguar for Yuki. Seaguar is the line brand of the Japanese Kureha group. Neox is made from 100% Seaguar resin. Its multidirectional polymer structure reduces memory and improves knot strength. Yuki also offers a Neox Big Game version.

Yuki, a fishing brand from Catalonia

Yuki Competition is a Spanish fishing brand. It belongs to Artfishing SL, a firm set up in Catalonia in 1993. Its head office is in Sitges, on the Catalan coast. The brand makes gear for several kinds of fishing. These include surfcasting, carp fishing, boat fishing and lure fishing. Surfcasting holds a central place in its range. The name Yuki sounds Japanese, but the brand is Spanish through and through.

Yuki works with match anglers, and some of them are world champions. The brand also runs the Yuki Masters, a large international shore fishing event. Its products are sold in more than 45 countries.

Lines that come from Japan

Lines are where Yuki began. The brand grew out of importing Japanese braids. Today, its braids, fluorocarbons and nylons still come from Japan. This choice has shaped the brand from the start.

The Yuki Seaguar Neox fluorocarbon sums up this approach. It is made in Japan by Seaguar, the line brand of the Kureha chemical group. Its main traits:

It is made from 100% Seaguar resin.
Its polymer structure runs in many directions, which cuts line memory.
It holds knots well and stands up to abrasion.
A Neox Big Game version exists for large fish.

Yuki also makes nylon for shock leaders, such as Yuki Invisible. This nylon gets a fluorine coating during production. It is meant for tuna fishing.
