What are gill nets? gill fishing nets which is incomprehensible at first glance, and these are primarily Chinese fishing nets.

GILL NETS ARE PROHIBITED FISHING GEAR, THE USE OF GILL NETS IS POACHING, THE MATERIAL IS PUBLISHED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE MEASURES TO BAN THE USE OF GILL NETS AND CLEAN UP RESERVOIRS FROM THEM, AND A BAN ON THE SALES OF NETS IN RETAIL POINTS.

Types of networks

For an inexperienced person, all fishing nets are approximately the same. But this, of course, is not true. Nets, just like any other fishing gear, have their own characteristics and classification.

These fishing gears can be divided into three main types:

1. Gills or gills (the simplest)
2. Ryazhevye (rezhevye), consisting of 2-3 cloths.
3. Combined.

In addition, nets are divided into fixed and floating, that is, those that are placed in one place and those that are set adrift or towed by a motor boat or cutter.

Gill nets are also called single-walled because they consist of one sheet. The size of the fish caught in them depends on the size of the mesh, so they make it possible to catch fish of a strictly defined size, while cutting off small things.

A ryazh usually consists of three panels, hence another name for it - three-wall. Between two canvases with a large mesh there is a third one, which has a smaller mesh size and a larger width. When a fish gets into such a net, it pulls the middle web through the large meshes behind itself, thereby forming a kind of bag in which it is securely fixed.

Often, a nylon thread is used to make the outer “walls” of a row, and ordinary fishing line is used for the inner walls. This is done so that the outer sheets can hold large fish caught in the net.

Three-walled nets cannot cut off small things, so it is possible that too many small trash fish are caught in a row net.

All these varieties are mainly fixed. Floating nets include the well-known seine, dragnet, trawl and others.

Combined tackle can combine the properties of different types of nets.

A fishing net can be made from either fishing line or various cords: nylon, nylon, silk and others. Most often, nylon thread is used as a material for the mesh.

A fishing line net is not very durable, although high-quality products are made from twisted fishing line, which greatly increases strength. Nylon tackle, like nylon, is probably the most durable, if, of course, you handle it with care.

Nets are also made from cotton cord, but it quickly becomes unusable, especially if you do not dry the gear after fishing.

Nowadays you can find many different nets on the market, made from different materials by different manufacturers. Fishing nets made in China, the so-called Chinese, are very popular today. Their quality leaves much to be desired, but their cheapness makes the “Chinese” the most common gear.

“Finks,” that is, fishing gear made in Finland or using Finnish technology, are much superior in quality to Chinese ones, but, accordingly, are more expensive.

Also, some craftsmen knit nets with their own hands. This process is quite complicated, but with appropriate preparation it allows you to make tackle of any complexity.

How to weave a net

Weaving a network is not at all difficult, but you have to be patient. At first, the speed of completing such work will be extremely low. Low fishing gear usually does not produce a large catch of fish because it scares them away.

Weaving begins by winding a sufficient amount of fishing line onto the shuttle. This operation is performed in the following sequence:

1. A self-tightening loop is put on the hook protrusion;
2. The line is led down to the “horns” and threaded between them;
3. The shuttle turns over and the line is led up to the ledge;
4. The line catches on the ledge and is led down again.

The cycles are repeated and the line is wound around the tool. The amount of fishing line is wound so that the shuttle can freely pass into the cell.

Read List of river fish

Weaving the mesh is carried out in the following sequence:

1. A self-tightening loop is made at the end of the fishing line, which clings to a pre-prepared fixed hook. The hook should be located at the level of the net weaving;
2. Near the hook, on the main line, another loop is made, slightly larger in size than the width of the template;
3. A template is taken, over which the fishing line is laid, then it is wrapped around the template, and the shuttle is threaded into the loop;
4. The shuttle is driven down and pulls the loop into which the working line was threaded to the level of the template;
5. The position is fixed using a knot;
6. The resulting loop will be used in the same way as the first one;
7. Then steps 3, 4, and 5 are repeated again. Thus, the required number of loops is collected, which will determine the width of the fishing device;
8. When all the loops are cast on, a nylon rope is threaded through them;
9. The ends of the nylon rope are tied, as a result of which the collected loops are strung onto the rope loop;
10. The loop with which the net was held by the hook is cut off, and the net is attached to the fixed hook by the rope into which the loops are threaded;
11. To the resulting rad, another row is added. For this purpose, a loop is tied to each cell, which is attached to a nylon rope. The technique for making such loops is identical to those loops that were cast on for the first row.

When this row is completed, the network is deployed and another row is built up. The length of a self-made fishing gear from a fishing line will depend on the number of such rows.

The length of the network will depend on the number of rows

Setting up networks

In order to set nets from a boat, a certain skill and at least minimal experience are required. It's easiest to do this together, but it's quite possible to do it alone. But you can use the net without having a boat.

The grid can be installed:

• from a boat;
• wade;
• from the shore;
• under the ice (in winter).

Using a boat, you can place nets in the most interesting places in terms of catch. You can’t do without it on large rivers and lakes.

It should be noted that successful fishing is only possible if the angler knows the reservoir well and the migration routes and stopovers of the fish.

If the fishing net is used in a small body of water, then setting can be done by wading. This method is good in shallow places, and makes it possible to set up various corridors from the nets to catch wary fish, such as salmon.

From the shore it is possible to set it using the so-called drag method; it is performed by two fishermen. The net is “pulled” into the water using a cord with a load, which is thrown to the opposite shore, where a smooth cord from the net is tied to it.

In winter, nets are set by drilling a series of holes through which the net is pulled using a pole with a hook. The method is quite labor-intensive, but if there is a current in the reservoir, tedious drilling of ice can be avoided. The performance is done using a large float, which is set adrift with a flowing cord attached. For such an operation it is enough to drill only one hole.

Selection of gear

Now let’s figure out how to choose the most correct fishing net.

When choosing a network, you need to start from the scale of your future catch

First of all, you need to start from the potential catch. That is, on the size of the fish that lives in this body of water. That is, the grid cells should be smaller than the average inhabitant of this river or lake. Also, the tackle must have the necessary degree of strength and reliability. A thread seine is suitable for small crucian carp and perches. But if you plan to catch pike or catfish, then you can’t do without fishing line.

Which is better: do it yourself or buy it?

Such equipment can either be purchased at a specialized store, or you can make it yourself. In the first case, you will have a ready-made device that can be immediately used for its intended purpose. You need to approach their choice quite thoroughly - before purchasing, you need to make sure that both the material itself and the product as a whole are sufficiently strong. If you decide to make a seine on your own, then a natural question arises about how to make fishing nets. The first thing worth noting is that this is a rather labor-intensive procedure that requires skills, knowledge and perseverance. Also in the process of work you will need a bar (it is responsible for the cell pitch) and a shuttle (this is a needle with which the mesh is made).

Video on how to knit fishing nets:

You need to start this work in the most comfortable position, that is, sitting. Immediately make a ring of the required diameter and tie it. Then we attach a bar to it and begin to slowly knit the first row of cells on it. We fix them using special knots. Then the second one and so on until the mesh is completely done. At the final stage, limiting lines or threads are tightened along the entire perimeter of the seine. This is just a brief summary of the technology for its manufacture. This is a rather labor-intensive and very complex procedure. It makes sense to start it only if you are 100% confident of success. Otherwise, it is better to abandon this idea and visit a specialized store.

Installation

There are now various ways in which fishing nets can be installed. Video, text description, set of photographs - this is not a complete list of possible sources of information. But the best of them is definitely the first one. The simplest of them is the following. The possible length of installation of the seine is determined. Next, you need a rubber boat, on which two people sit, and the tackle is thrown. One of the boat passengers rows the oars, and the second throws the net. Moreover, he does this gradually - he starts from one edge and moves to the other. Before this procedure, it must be equipped with everything necessary - floats and weights. After 3 hours the tackle is checked. To do this, the same 2 people on the boat, moving from its beginning, take it out, if there is fish there, untangle the catch and lower the net again. After 2-4 such visits, a change of location is necessary.

conclusions

In order to use fishing nets, you must have not only the gear itself, but also a permit.

If you take a net fishing, a big fish awaits you

If it is not there, then you can become a poacher. This must be remembered without fail. But the result of such fishing, in any case, will be a pleasant surprise for you. With its help, you can catch a significantly larger number of fish with minimal labor and time than by any other method.

Knitting nets

For those who are not afraid of long and painstaking work, you can make the network yourself. This will require a fair amount of time and patience, as well as some special tools.

To weave a net with your own hands you will need:

1. Shuttle.
2. Template (bar).
3. Fishing line or cord from which the mesh is knitted.
4. Loads.
5. Special floats for the network.

The shuttle is a plate with a figured cutout in the upper part. A thread or fishing line intended for knitting is wound onto the shuttle. In essence, the shuttle plays the role of a sewing needle or knitting needle.

These tools must be well treated to remove unevenness, burrs and other surface defects so that the threads do not catch or tear when knitting.

As for the material of manufacture, it can be a nylon fishing line, cotton or nylon thread. The main requirement is strength and the same diameter along the entire length.

Having secured a ring-shaped rope in a convenient place, a loop is tied to it, made at the end of a fishing line or cord wound around a shuttle. This is the start of the network. Next, using a template attached to the first loop, the first mesh of the future network is formed, drawing the thread with a shuttle under the bar and up through the rope ring. The thread on the bar is pressed with a finger, and the resulting loop is tied with a knot. By repeating all these steps, a number of cells are obtained, the width of each should be equal to the width of the future net for fishing.

After the required width has been achieved, they begin to knit the next row of cells, with the difference that the shuttle is now threaded not into the rope ring, but into the cell.

In this way, you can knit any mesh made of fishing line, nylon and other materials, with any required mesh size.

The lower cord, called the cargo cord, is equipped with weights that also have an oblong shape. The weight of the sinkers and the buoyancy of the floats should be enough to ensure that the net in the reservoir stands vertically, without floating up or sinking to the bottom.

The cords are attached in such a way that the finished tackle does not jump off them.

Differences between Finnish and Chinese meshes

In the fishing community, you can often hear “ set a Finnish fish ,” or “ caught with a Chinese bait .” I understand the grids, but how do they differ?

photo network “Chinese”

photo fishing net Chinese single wall

Differences between Finnish and Chinese:

• The first country of manufacture is Finland or China, there are also “Japanese” meshes, which are respectively produced in Japan. It is clear that China has much worse quality and significantly lower price. But there is also such a phenomenon as a “finca” made in China, that is, the design is made like a finca, but it is woven in China
• The difference is in the design of the cords. Finka has solid cords, both floating and weighting cord. The weight cord has a lead chain running along its entire length. The Chinese have weights and floats attached to a cord.
• The color of the “finca” is often blue.
• “Finka” is easier to install, throw it into the river and it will stretch itself. There is a spring effect.

finka net from China
The finka fishing net is more reliable, perhaps lasting for decades. The Chinese one is considered disposable, but lasts one to two seasons. But the “Chinese” one is several times cheaper and you don’t mind leaving it.

There are two options for fishing with chicks and fins. There is one small net that you can throw and catch fish for yourself, for example, on a fish soup trip, ALSO POACHING. The second method, when tens and even hundreds of “Chinese fish” are identified, is poaching WHEN FISH IS EXTERIFIED ON A HUGE SCALE. In addition, Chinese women are often thrown, a fish gets into them, dies, and is eaten by crayfish. Several times I pulled out abandoned Chinese fish with a spinning rod, which contained entangled dead fish and dozens of entangled crayfish. Sometimes installed nets cause spinners to lose their spinners. If the installed gill net is not submerged, it can be wound around the propeller of the boat motor.

Don't fall for the trick. The story of their lives!

Two policemen called a drunken man over and asked him to pull the Chinese shirt out of the water so as not to take off his uniform themselves. When he pulled out the net he was photographed. They took a man with a net and fish to the police station to formalize poaching. It’s good that the man had strong relatives, they fought him off.

The net must not be touched even in the presence of the police and fisheries authorities!

PVA mesh

Finally, it is worth mentioning one more net, which, although not intended for direct fishing, is an indispensable assistant for carp fishermen. This is a PVA net for fishing, the peculiarity of which is the ability to dissolve in water.

It is made from polyvinyl acetate (abbreviated PVA).

It is intended for spot feeding of the fishing area. Using a special piston with a tube, the net is filled with boilies, pellets or other bait and thrown into the fishing area. The hook with bait is hidden in the net before casting. The PVA mesh in the rig plays the role of a spring or feeder with the difference that not a trace remains of it except a pile of bait at the bottom.

There are several types of such grids:

1. Solid.
2. Cellular.
3. Floating.
4. Drowning.

Floating baits are delivered to the site through the water column; this method can be effective when fishing for carp. Sinkers, as the name suggests, dissolve at the bottom, forming a tasty pile of food at the bottom. Solid ones have the appearance and shape of a bag, but do not dissolve very quickly.

Using a PVA net for fishing, you can quickly and accurately deliver bait to the fishing site, which is very important for this type of fishing, such as carp fishing.

This fishing net is the only one that cannot be considered poaching gear. All the rest are classified as prohibited gear and the net can only be used if the fisherman has a commercial fishing license.

It is also necessary to remember that nets that have not been removed or forgotten in a reservoir create a lot of problems for both the inhabitants of the reservoir and the fishermen.

A lot of fish die in abandoned nets. In addition, this is a headache for spinning anglers, bottom fishers, and feeders, who leave a lot of expensive baits and equipment in these traps.

Twisted mesh fabric

A very large contribution to the search for new materials for amateur and professional fishing was made by Japanese scientists who came up with a mesh made from twisted fishing line. Such canvases have unique qualities and are recognized throughout the world. A fishing line twisted from several individual fibers is called a multimonofilament thread. Such a thread can include from 3 to 12 separate, less thin threads. When purchasing such products, by looking at the inscription on the packaging, you can find out how many fibers are twisted into one thread. For example, if you see the inscription 0.17x3mm, then this indicates that 3 threads with a diameter of 0.17mm each are twisted into a single thread.

Mesh fabrics made from twisted fishing line have the following characteristics:

• Mesh fabrics have increased softness and elasticity;
• Unnoticeable in water;
• UV and salt water resistant;
• To knit them, a double knot is used;
• Nylon thread is used to tie them.

Basic principles for choosing networks

Amateur fishing with nets, which is carried out within the framework of all the requirements of the Law, is a gambling and exciting activity in nature. For many novice fishermen, there is a common concept - “fishing net”. Having decided to engage in such fishing on their own, they end up on the pages of an online fishing net store. There, perhaps for the first time, they see what a huge variety of these gears are available for sale.

Having estimated what size of fish there might be in the upcoming fishing spot, a novice net fisherman who does not have experienced friends among fishermen is almost always doomed to make a mistake in choosing his own gear. The fact is that ordinary gill nets are selective or selective fishing gear. And the principles for choosing the “correct” catching net depend not only on the size of its mesh.

The science of choosing the right net to most successfully catch your target fish is both simple and complex. In order to buy catchable fishing nets , you need to have some experience and knowledge in this field. Fish of the same size have different behavioral characteristics (caution, aggressiveness, endurance, and so on). Naturally, there is no universal net for catching any species of fish. The net must be matched to each fish.

A correctly placed net, which has a del (network) made of the material most suitable for catching a particular fish, will bring the greatest catch. There will be other species in the bycatch, but the selectivity of the right net should work. Types of straining gear such as drags and seines are not considered here. And also Chinese disposable spider nets, designed for the barbaric catching of any fish from water bodies.

Overview of types of nets for catching various fish

The easiest to use and most convenient for beginners and even experienced fishermen are simple set nets. But they are simple only at first glance. This is because networks with the same cell size may have different applications. The catchability of the mesh also depends on the landing (compression) coefficient, which determines the degree of opening of the diamond of each cell. For some types of fish, it is enough to plant the net in a ratio of 1:2 or with K = 0.50 (smelt, vendace, whitefish, pike, salmon and similar oblong fish). Other fish species that have a wide body require less tension on the horizontal corners of the mesh diamond. For more successful catching of such fish (bream, crucian carp, carp, tench, etc.), you need to choose a net with a landing ratio of 1:3 or with K = 0.33. Some types of fish, for example, ide, roach, wild carp and many others, have an intermediate body shape and will fall into both nets. Let's consider the question in more detail.

Entire scientific treatises have been written on determining the size of the mesh for catching the desired fish. Almost 100 years ago, one Soviet ichthyologist derived a formula by which you can find the size (size) of a net mesh for fish of different body shapes.

A=K 1*L Here: A – cell, in mm; L is the biological length of the fish, in mm; K 1 - empirical coefficient of body shape. Fish were divided according to body shape into:

• wide-bodied (carp, bream, crucian carp, tench, roach, flounder, silver bream and others), K1=0.2; • medium-bodied (ide, fisherman, rudd, pike, whitefish, peled, and others), K1=0.15; • narrow-bodied (salmon, pike perch, pink salmon, asp, dace, vendace, smelt), K1=0.1.

Life has made its own adjustments to these theoretical studies. In Russia, for each fishing area (RU) where it is allowed to provide services for organizing fishing with nets, the species allowed for catching with nets are strictly defined, the length of the net and the size of its mesh are indicated. Any deviations from the requirements are punishable by law.

Fixed nets have a variety of fits and additional equipment. They can have a ryazh, a special large-mesh net, planted on the same selections as the main mesh. Working together, the yarn and the canvas (a double-walled net) create bags for large fish. If there are 2 rows, then the net becomes even more catchy (3-wall). Some of the nets are arranged with vertical or horizontal veins, forming large cells - frames. Such frame nets are similar in properties to rownets.

The material from which the net is made is also of great importance when choosing a net for catching a particular fish. The main modern materials for the factory production of nets are synthetic threads:

• nylon or polyamide – traditional high-strength threads for nets; • monofilament thread (monofilament) – transparent fishing line made from a single polyester fiber; • multi-monofilament thread (multi-monofilament) – a transparent thread twisted from several mono-filament lines.

Nylon nets are good in many respects, they are durable and wear-resistant, however, such nets require constant cleaning and drying after each fishing trip. These nets tear less on snags and are cut less by sharp shell rock, especially on the edges of deeper places. Gradually, fishing nets made of nylon are losing ground in the face of new achievements in science and technology for the production of fishing gear, which, a little later, always become available to amateurs. Modern, advanced net fishing enthusiasts are looking to buy fishing nets made from new materials.

New materials for nets - new opportunities in fishing

For more than 10 years, Russia has been supplied with the world's best samples of Japanese-made monofilament and multimonofilament netting from the MOMOI FISHING company. The peculiarity of these nets is that they are practically invisible to fish even in clear water. When these threads are in water, they become softer after a while. This also increases catchability, especially for cautious fish.

Scientists and technologists from Japan have gone further. Through many thousands of tests and experiments, they proved that a multi-monofilament thread, say with a diameter of 0.24 mm, twisted from three monofilament threads with a diameter of 0.08 mm, has different physical properties than a monofilament of the same diameter - 0.24 mm.

With the advent of the multimonophyll, fishermen who love net fishing have a real opportunity to measure their strength with such a strong, smart, cautious and swift fish as wild carp. Carp will always break weak nets. You can put thick nylon nets on carp, choosing a thick thread that can withstand a motorcyclist, but there will be no success in fishing. Carp, even in muddy water, sees and is afraid of both the nylon net itself and its shadow. He probes the network with his sonar-whiskers, starting from the top to the very bottom. If the net is not trampled into the ground, the carp makes a dig, marks it with its pheromones and leaves. The whole flock leaves after him. Sometimes the carp jumps over a noticeable net. Occasionally, a flock of carp makes a breakthrough and breaks the net with a concentrated blow. Such numbers do not work with a multimonofilament network.

The latest nets, which have a ready fit, are available in the online fishing net store. They are knitted in Japan from special polymer-coated threads. The nets go on sale under the Chameleon brand. The main advantage over conventional networks is their stealth. Chameleon nets are made from all three types of materials: nylon, monofilament line and multi-monofilament line. Depending on the fit, they are divided into groups: Chameleon STANDART (machine fit with pick-ups), Chameleon EXTRA (manual fit), Chameleon SPRUT (three-wall manual fit). This series of ready-made nets is the best that modern industry and the development of technology can offer for fishermen who love this type of fishing.

Types of fishing nets. Characteristics, application

Today we will talk about what types of fishing nets there are. How to choose the right one and let's see what they are.

1. First, let's figure out what shapes fishing nets come in:
2. Don't be intimidated by the variety of fishing nets.
3. Most of them are used directly in industrial fish production.
4. Now let's look at each type of network separately:

Fishing nets. Types and application. Characteristics and installation

In the understanding of modern man, fishing and fishing nets are inseparable concepts. But it was not always so. Man began to fish much earlier than he invented the net. According to A.

Brandt, this happened in the Mesolithic era, when people learned to obtain materials for textile production. In those days, the networks were not distinguished by the grace and strength that are inherent in modern specimens.

But all the production principles used by our ancestors are still relevant today.

Box fishing net

• It is usually used with a feeder.
• Installed on the bottom of the reservoir.
• Afraid of strong currents.
• Effective for catching bottom fish.
• These networks are further divided into several types:

Nodeless networks

1. Nodeless networks are those networks in which the forming cell has no nodes.
2. Such a network allows cells to become smaller or larger.
3. Basically, this is a big plus, since when catching small fish, it can escape into a large, extended cell.
4. The downside of such a net is that after fishing you need to sort through the net and arrange the cells according to size.

Nodal networks

• The first time you use a knotted fishing net, you will feel a big difference compared to a knotless net.
• Such a network has a cell fixed on all sides by nodes.
• The knots prevent the cell from deforming and it is much easier to operate.

What is the name of the net in which fish are placed when fishing?

Every fisherman knows what a cage is. A fish tank is a device for storing fish while fishing. The caught fish is laid down

1. I think for fishermen this question will seem very easy.
2. Of course, I’m not very keen on fishing, it’s very boring for me to sit and wait for a fish to bite, but I also know the answer to this question.
3. My dad has such a metal fish tank, he always takes it with him when fishing, such a fish tank can be lowered into the water with the catch and the fish will remain alive.

Every fisherman knows about this device. It is used to place fish in it while a person is fishing. This way the fish stays fresh longer, it is alive in it.

Arrival of new models of spinning rods Pontoon21 and GAD

Devices are made of different materials and have different sizes. There are many craftsmen who can make it with their own hands. And they do it, and very successfully.

This device is convenient for weighing fish to find out the weight of the catch.

A real fisherman, as a rule, has several devices for placing his catch in it. For small fish you need a device with small cells, for larger ones the cells must be larger.

• The device is called a cage.
• A cage, of course, but the fish are put there at the beginning, not for carrying, but so that the fish is still alive.
• That is, the cage is lowered into the water and the caught fish is placed there, and after the end of fishing, the fisherman pulls the scoop out of the water and carries the fish home in it if it is not large.

Types of fishing nets

There are many types of fishing nets. They are united by the presence of mesh fabric and equipment, but even these design elements may have differences.

The types of fishing nets and their names are well known to professionals, but amateurs also try to keep up, understanding that when purchasing, you need to indicate a certain type, and not try to explain to the seller “on your fingers” what you need.

Perhaps the most common are single-wall networks.

They are simple to use, inexpensive, easy to install and remove, and difficult to confuse. The main criterion for choosing a model is the size of the cells, since each type of fish and fishing conditions have their own variations. These types of fishing nets are also called gill nets, since the prey becomes entangled in the cells, caught in the gills or fins. A classic design is considered to be 30 meters long and 1.8 meters high, equipped with cargo and float cords. Typically the top cord has a buoyancy of 6 g/m. You should not chase the “stronger” one, as it can reduce the productivity of the tackle. As for the mesh fabric, it can be made of synthetic thread (polypropylene, lavsan, nylon) or fishing line - the choice depends on your preferences.

The next most popular types of fishing nets are three-walled ones.

They are quite labor-intensive to install, require a certain skill, and an inexperienced fisherman can tangle the canvas. The difference from single-walled models is that on both sides of the piece (main fabric) there are nets (ryazhi) with cells up to 300 mm. Similar structures are installed on the current - under its influence, the ridge swells, allowing fish to pass through, which rests against a particle, tries to turn around and gets entangled in the net. Due to their catchability and ability to catch large fish, these types of fishing nets are deservedly popular.

Frame models are characterized by the fact that the fabric in them is divided by veins of high-strength thread threaded through the cells into separate “windows”.

Thanks to the landing coefficient, peculiar purses-bags are formed that “confuse” the catch. The caught fish cannot damage them, because the veins evenly distribute the load over the entire area of ​​the canvas.

When considering the types of nets for fishing, we must not forget about casting models.

They require special skills from fishermen, because they must be thrown into a body of water, having first been wound around the hand, so that “in flight” the canvas unfolds, covering the selected area of ​​​​the water surface. Thanks to the sinkers, the net sinks to the bottom, after which it can be pulled out by pulling the braided seven-millimeter polyethylene cord and the caught individuals can be selected. One of the varieties of casting models is called “American type”. These types of fishing nets differ in that the “American” one has a vein (5 mm in diameter), which pulls the net fabric into the bag, where the exit is blocked by weights (each about 26 grams). Thus, the caught fish cannot escape while remaining inside.

Weaving fishing nets with your own hands

Initially, the net was woven by hand.
It took a lot of time and required perseverance and concentration. However, with some information and patience, it is quite possible to weave a network yourself at home. An avid fisherman will only enjoy making his own tackle. First, you need to acquire a tool and decide what material the network will be made of. To do this, you can use either nylon thread or fishing line. The choice of a suitable thread depends on the purpose of the net (what kind of fish it will mainly catch), its parameters (length, height and mesh size) and personal preferences.

You need to understand that a mesh made of nylon thread (“rag”) is stronger than a mesh made from fishing line, and therefore more durable. But such gear gets very tangled, and the process of extracting fish from it causes a lot of trouble. A network of scaffolding is easier to deploy, but breaks faster. A fast, strong fish can make a hole out of it and slip out to freedom.

The “rag” is used when catching species such as silver carp, bream, and large crucian carp is expected. These representatives of the ichthyofauna can easily damage a fishing line net, but if they get caught in a nylon fishing line, they will become thoroughly entangled in it and will not escape.

It is important to choose the correct thread section. Naturally, the thicker it is, the stronger the network

However, here you need to follow the rule of the golden mean. Tackle that is too thick is very noticeable (especially knots) and scares away fish, while gear that is too thin is easily damaged and does not hold the catch.

Tools and accessories

You will need a knitting shuttle and a template. You can make them yourself. The shuttle is made from a thin piece of aluminum or getinax. The thickness varies between 3-5 mm. One edge of the shuttle is pointed and has a slot in the form of a rod on which the thread will be wound. The other end looks like a bicorne that secures the thread.

The thread is wound as follows: A loop is knitted and put on the rod at the top of the shuttle. Then the thread is pressed under tension to the lower edge, where the double horn prevents it from breaking, and the consumable material is wound, alternately turning the shuttle relative to the plane.

The amount of thread will depend on the length of the shuttle, the height of the rod and the depth of the double horn. As a rule, the dimensions of the shuttle are slightly larger than the size of the knitter's wrist.

The template is often made of plastic. It determines the size of the network cell and plays an important final role, so it must be done accurately and accurately

It is important that its edges are parallel and smooth

A tourniquet will be useful to secure the beginning of the network, as well as a fixed support. As a rule, this is a gas pipe or battery. A thread is attached to it, from which the height of the net is gained, and then the finished tackle is knitted.

Knitting a knot

The strongest and most immovable knot is performed as follows.
A template is brought to the finished loop (the first one knitted by hand), and the shuttle is threaded into it. The thread passed through the loop is attracted to the edge of the template (it should pass from above) and is fixed with the thumb. Now the shuttle can be moved freely.

There is a loop under your thumb that needs to be held until the knot is completed. Next, the shuttle is passed into the finished loop so that the thread wraps around the previous loop on both sides. Then the shuttle is passed a second time between the right edge of the loop and the already threaded thread.

After threading twice from top to bottom, the shuttle is passed into the loop, which is held by the thumb. The knot is tightened synchronously, i.e. the thread is pulled with a shuttle, and the pressure on the loop is simultaneously reduced with your thumb. A slight characteristic click will signal that the unit is ready.

Climb

These are the first steps that the knitter will use to set the specific height of the net. Using the knot shown above, a mesh is woven from a thread, consisting of cells adjacent to the same side. Their number will determine the height (or width) of the entire tackle.

After the first row is ready, take a tourniquet or thick rope and thread it through the individual cells (along one edge of the loops). Then the harness is tied to a pipe or battery and weaving begins in length.

Weaving

The difference between this and the previous stage is that the template is applied to adjacent cells, and the finished ones are simply removed from it as they accumulate.
It is necessary to ensure that the template is positioned perpendicular to the network, this affects its correct shape. Next, the length of the tackle is woven in the same order. After the next row of cells is connected, a new one starts from the left edge. It is recommended to immerse the finished net in hot water (approximately 90C) so that the knots are completely tightened.

The upper edge of the woven tackle is equipped with floats, and sinkers are attached to the lower edge.
