Trawl net Purse Seine

fishing

Our purse seine nets are subject to the harsh environment of the North Atlantic Ocean and are well known for their robust strength as well as their stability and the capacity to hold their shape over time. The feedback from our customers state that the skippers are very happy with both the fishing abilities and the quality of our nets. “We have been using this Capelin purse seine, designed and made by Vónin, since 2014 and I highly recommend it.” Optimized design Vónin purse seine nets are designed to ensure the fish pass smoothly to the bag. This is because the design has been optimised to eliminate tensions lines, which normally prevent the fish reaching the bag. Such tension lines can result in damage to the purse seine. Fast sinking footrope The footrope is designed to sink fast, which also is an important feature. When you have finished shooting the net, the footrope is already at its maximum depth, and you can start pursing right away, minimising waiting time and reducing the chance of fish escaping. This means more efficient fishing. “It hauls and shoots very smoothly and we never get bags of fish in the netting, even when we are in heavy fishing. It’s a very robust net and it fishes well.” In the beginning of every year Norðborg heads for Icelandic waters to purse seine for Capelin.
