Fishing Lines & Nets

Incredibly strong and remarkably soft

Fishing lines made with Dyneema ® provide amazing sensitivity – not comparable to stretchy mono lines – that will make the fishing experience even more enjoyable. The process of playing the fish becomes more accurate as even the slightest touch or movement is conveyed and thus control over the fish is maximized. The precise control of the line enables the angler to react quickly and thus increases the probability of a successful hook-up. Dyneema ®’s unmatched sensitivity heightens the sensation experienced and leads to a quicker and more efficient fishing process.

Reliability and durability as key characteristics

Fishing lines made with Dyneema ® set new standards regarding durability and reliability of fishing lines. The inherent properties make the fishing line resistant to abrasion, tearing and biting. They survive the sharpest rock as well as the sharpest teeth. In addition, Dyneema ®’s fiber is highly resistant to sun and salt water what will make fishing line much more durable and reliable.

Dyneema ® introduces a new generation of fishing nets and ropes

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization the demand for fresh fish is expected to more than double in the coming decades. More fish, especially biting fish, and more valuable fish will be raised in fish farms. This leads to an increased need for higher-quality, stronger fishing nets and ropes in aquaculture. Dyneema ® fibers are currently used in a new generation of fishing nets and ropes that make fish farming safer, more reliable, and more efficient in economic terms.

Maximum strength to reduce escapes

Dyneema ®’s exceptional bite resistance reduces the risk of losing fish stock and thus reduces the financial risk incurred when using traditional fishing nets made of polyamide, which are prone to break. Fishing nets made with Dyneema ® do not only resist bites from fish inside the net but also bites from predators outside the net. This is only one of the advantages Dyneema ® fibers offer when being used by fishermen farming sea bass and sea bream in the Mediterranean. The use of double polyamide fishing nets in order to prevent escape becomes redundant by using stronger, bite-resistant fishing nets made with Dyneema ®. Fishing nets made with Dyneema ® are as light as they are strong – the perfect combination of attributes for the fishing industry. The low weight reduces tension on mooring systems, facilitates the work of the crew and makes it safer. Fishing nets made from Dyneema ® are weightless in water due to its specific gravity of under 1 and do not absorb water – properties that save money and increase operational efficiency.

Healthier fish means healthier fishing business

A fishing cage that constitutes a healthy and low-stress environment is the basic prerequisite for a flourishing fish population and thus a successful fishing business. The unmatched thinness of Dyneema ® fiber makes it possible to reduce the twine size compared to traditional materials. But still the incredible strength of the Dyneema ® fiber makes the fishing cage shape more stable in strong currents and thus enables better water and oxygen flow through the fishing net. This leads to a healthier and stable environment and contributes to a successful fishing farm. Another challenge fishing farms face is fouling. The smaller, more flexible twine surface, which can be achieved by using Dyneema ® nets, can reduce fouling in the fishing nets and thus further reduce cage weight, facilitate handling and reduce operating costs
