Fishing Gear Material

State the advantage of using synthetic netting material.

• Synthetic fibers are strong

• synthetic material allow to used hydraulic equipment for gear handling

• reduce the diameter

• fish finding is easy

What is the purpose of increase the line strength in fishing gear?

• increase towing resistance

• reduce fishermen expenses

• add weight in fishing gear

• increase net diameter

State the basic material to construct a net.

• line

• rope

• filament

• yarn

What is multifilament yarns

• Continuous filaments that twisted together

• Single filaments

• The thin yarns

• Braided netting yarn

What is monofilament yarns

• Single filaments with diameter 0.01 mm.

• Single filament which able to function alone as a yarn without having to undergo further processing.

• Netting filaments which twisting with 2 to 3 ply.

• larger yarn diameter for constructing nets of larger mesh size

How multifilament yarns are characterize?

• degree of twist

• filament material

• number of filaments in each single yarn

• all above

What are the variability in netting yarns?

• yarn thickness and twist direction

• twist direction and knots

• knots and color

• yarn thickness and knots

What is the characteristic of good quality yarns.

• varying thickness

• consistent thickness

• untwisted yarn

• knotless yarn

Why fishing net color is green and blue?

• to scare fish

• to attract fish towards the gear

• to reduce visibility of the nets to the fish

• to avoid predator
