How to choose the nets
To make sure the multifilament net will be accepted and hot sale in your market, there are several factors you should consider.
Material
- Nylon - is the most popular choice in the market, the biggest advantage is that it has best water absorption, which can make the net sinked fast during fishing.
- Polyester - it has similar strength with nylon, and it is cheaper, the only shortage is that it has worse water absorption, it will make the net floated on the water without sinker.
- UHMWPE - has the best mechanical properties, the strength is over 35g/d, while the strength of nylon or polyester is about 6.5-8.5g/d.
Dyneema is the famous brand in the world, is also UHMWPE fiber. More and more clients choose the UHMWPE, because the net is much lighter with same strength as nylon or polyester. The lighter net could reduce the fuel consumption during fishing.
Twine
- Nylon - The most popular twine is 210d, the normal range is about 210d/6 - 210d/300ply.
- Polyester - The popular twine is 210d and 250d, the normal range is 210d/6 - 210d/300ply
- UHMWPE - The popular twine is 250d, 350d, 1600d. The normal range is about 250d/12 - 250d/180ply.
Mesh size
- Nylon or polyester - it depends on the size of fish you want to catch in the different season in different country or area. The normal mesh size would be 12mm - 500mm.
- UHMWPE - it has much higher strength, so it can catch bigger fish. The normal mesh size is about 50 - 1500mm.
The mesh size should march the twine. The twine is thicker, the strength is higher. So the nets could catch bigger fish, the mesh size should be bigger.
single knot & double knot
- Tightness - The knot of double knot is tigher than the single knot. So for the fishing net with single knot, loose knot and slip knot should be avoided in the production.
- Cost - The weight of double knot would be heavier than the single knot, so the cost would be a little higher.
- Preference - Some clients prefer the single knot, and others might prefer the double knot.
- Production - If the twine is thick or the mesh size is small, the single knot would be a better choice in production.
Length & depth strength
- Length strength - it is stretched in length way during heat setting. it is more popular for purse seine net.
- Depth strength - the fishing net will be stretched in depth way during heat setting. it is more popular for trawling net.
- Preference - The fishermen in different coutries have their own preference.
- Production - As usual, the man hour of depth strength would be a little higher in heat setting. so the cost would be higher.
Colors
- Cost - The cost of white fishing net will be lower than other colors.
