Feature
Wire diameter, overall length, and strength. A balance refined through real fishing use.
EZ Line Snap is a snap designed with a well-balanced combination of wire diameter, overall length, and strength, with special emphasis on easy lure changes and day-to-day usability. Its ease of handling has been proven in actual fishing and it has also been used by many top finishers in area-trout tournaments.
A special black plating reduces its visibility underwater and gives it a dark finish that is less likely to create extra wariness in fish. The final closing process is also finished by hand rather than left entirely to machinery, preserving easy opening and closing. Many snaps lose spring tension when they are over-compressed by machine processing, but this model is finished with real on-the-water usability in mind.
It offers an excellent balance of light weight and ease of use, making it a highly practical snap that keeps your fishing rhythm intact even when you rotate lures frequently.

Snap Selection Guide
Choose your snap based on fishing style and lure size.
Micro Lure
For Ultra-Light Lures
Lightweight snaps are best for delicate lures such as micro spoons and small jig heads. If the snap is too heavy, it can affect lure action, so choosing a small and lightweight model is the basic approach.
Light Game
All-Round Type
For a wide range of fishing such as trout and light saltwater, snaps with a good balance of strength and lightness are ideal. If you are unsure, this class is a solid baseline that covers many lure types.
Power Game
Strength Priority
High-strength snaps are best for strong fish such as seabass and pelagics, or for larger lures. Choosing a snap with a structure that resists opening gives more confidence during the fight.
Easy Change
Easy Lure Changes
For fishing styles where you change lures often,
easy-to-handle snaps are very convenient.
Clip-style snaps or simple snap structures
allow quick lure changes,
making them well suited to search-oriented fishing.
As with the Micro EZ Line Snap and EZ Line Snap,
the intended range here is mainly trout and light-game applications.

About YARIE Metal Works
YARIE's metalworking roots lie in the history of producing Japan's first metal swivel. The company also became the first in Japan to manufacture hanakans for ayu fishing, refining for many years the precision, strength, and mass-production stability required in small metal components.
In products such as snaps, rings, and swivels, differences in machining precision show up in usability more than appearance suggests. Wire hardness, forming accuracy, resistance to deformation under load, and stability over repeated use. YARIE applies its expertise as a metalworking manufacturer to exactly those details.
Snap & Ring products turn decades of accumulated metalworking know-how and fishing-tackle design experience into forms that can be used directly in modern on-the-water fishing. Each small piece carries the origin of YARIE craftsmanship.
