Production of monofilament net
The monofilament net is produced by many steps, including the extrusion, weaving, heat setting and packing.
Extrusion
The PA6 we choose is the best in China, and we will choose the most suitable extrusion process to ensure the strength.
Weaving
The thread will be woven into net by weaving machine. The suitable weaving machine and process could reduce the strength lost in weaving.
Checking&Repairing
There might be some defects during weaving, so we need check and repair the net if there are defects.
length strength
The net will be strengthen in length way in this step, as usual, the net will be treated with resin to have different properties.
depth strength
If the net is depth strength, the net will be strengthen in depth way after length strength. The knot will be tigher after twice heat setting.

- Quality - If the client need higher quality, we could choose the materials from Japan or other countries.
- Cost - The quality of PA6 is higher, the cost would also be higher. but I think it is worth.
The material determines the strength of monofilament net. If the manufacturers choose the low quality PA6, the monofilament net will very weak.
Diameter
- Range - The normal diameter of monofilament net would be 0.10-1.6mm. it is up to the fish you want to catch and the preference of the fishermen.
- Strength - The diameter is higher, the strength would be higher. The big diameter is used to catch the big fish.
- Cost - As usual, the diameter of net is big, the cost of net would be higher.
Mesh size
- Diameter - the mesh size should match the diameter of the fishing net. The mesh size of big diameter should be big. Because the net in big diameter is strong enough to catch the big fish.
- Fish - The mesh size of monofilament net is up to the size of target fish.
- Season - The size of fish in different season might be different.
- Policy - There might be policy about the minun mesh size in different countries. it could reduce the overfishing to protect the population of the species.
You should be clear about the most popular diameter and mesh size in each season of your market. It is important to whether the nets will be hot sale.
double knot & triple knot
- Tightness - The triple knot would be tighter, it could reduce the risk of slip knot.
- Softness - The triple knot would be bigger, it mighe cause that the net will be not so soft.
- Preference - The double knot is most popular choice in the market.
- Production - The double knot and triple knot will be produced by different weaving machines.
Length & depth strength
- Length strength - it is more popular to catch the flat fish, such as flounders, soles, turbots, halibuts, sanddabs, plaices, and tonguefishes.
- Depth strength - it is the most popular choice in the market, it is suitable for every fish except flat fish.
- Cost - The cost of depth strength will be higher than length strength, because the depth strength means twice heat setting.
Colors
- Color of net - The most popular choice is transparent(natural white), some other fishermen prefer green, blue, yellow, gray, etc.
- Color of selvage - The color of selvage is used for fishermen to identify the different quality. Different color means different quality in some market.
- Preference - The fishermen have their own preference in color in some market.
- Cost - The cost of transparent will be cheaper than other colors.
- MOQ - the MOQ of transparent will be also lower than other colors.
Selvage
The floats and sinkers will be installed on the top and bottom selvage, so the selvage need be strong. There are several different kinds of selvage for you to choose.
This is the most popular choice in the market. The selvage is double thread which is same as the nets.
This is another choice for fishermen. The selvage is single multifilament twine. As usual, the diameter should be a little bigger than the thread of net.
Some clients choose the multifilament monofilament twine as the selvage. It is twisted by several thread, such as 0.20×3, 0.15×6, etc.
