Mesh 20 net for which fish. How to choose fishing nets? Netting video

12.09.2023

Fishing nets provide a large catch in a short period of time. It is fishing nets that are used by companies that fish on an industrial scale. Ordinary fishermen too show interest in them, however, they need permission to use the networks. Fishing crews fill out paperwork before going to sea. Catching fish with nets without a license is poaching.

Network classification

It seems to many ordinary people that all teams use the same nets for fishing. In fact, you can find several types on sale. All networks are divided into thread and line. This division is determined by the material from which the seines are made. For the manufacture of thread seines they use nylon or nylon cords. Such gear is considered very durable. Tackle made from fishing line very often breaks, although there are seines made from twisted fishing line on sale that can last a long time.

There are fixed and smooth tackles. Fixed seines are installed in one place, but smooth seines are pulled on a motor boat or sent downstream. There is also a classification of fishing nets based on their structure. Experts distinguish the following types:

gills;
red;
frame;
casting

Fishermen consider gill nets to be the simplest, since they consist of only one sheet. All cells equal in size. The advantage of such nets is that they only catch fish of a certain size. Small items do not get confused and do not get stuck in nets.

Rye nets consist of three fabrics. The outer canvases are smaller in size than the average one. The cell size of the average canvas is always much smaller. The advantage of such gear is that the fish quickly gets confused. However, such nets often trap a lot of small trash fish. As a rule, the outer fabrics are woven from strong nylon threads, while the fabric in the middle is sewn from fishing line. This is due to the fact that large fish can break the line.

The main difference between frame seines is that their central part is very “soft”, but the edges are “hard”. Thanks to this structure, the fish quickly gets caught in a trap from which it cannot escape. Casting meshes are very similar to frame meshes, but differ in their small size. They are used exclusively for manual throwing into water.

Now on sale you can find products from various companies. The most popular fishing nets are those made in China. Their popularity is due to their low price. These gears are not distinguished by their high quality. Finnish seines are considered to be of higher quality and more reliable. They can last for several years. But their cost is quite high.

DIY making

Special craftsmen knit seines themselves. The manufacturing process is quite tedious. He demands accuracy and patience. To knit a network you need:

floats;
sinkers;
shuttle;
template (bar);
fishing line or cord.

The shuttle is made of a plate with a cutout in the upper part. You need to wrap a fishing line or cord around it while weaving. In fact, the shuttle performs the same role as the needle. The plank can be made from a piece of ruler or plywood, 3 millimeters thick. Its length ranges from 10 to 12 centimeters. The width of the template depends on the desired cell size. The turn of the cord around the bar is equal to two cells.

All knitting accessories must be carefully sanded. If burrs remain on them, the threads will constantly cling and get tangled during work. This will lead to an increase in the time spent on making the seine.

The weaving process begins by attaching a thick cord in the shape of a ring to any structure. Then a loop is tied to it, which is made at the end of a thread (fishing line) tied to the shuttle. Then a second loop is formed, which is secured with a knot at the end. It takes a lot of repetitions to get the required width. After completing the first row, begin to weave the second. The only difference is that the cells of the second row are attached not to the cord, but to the first row.

After finishing the weaving, you need to thread two cords through the loops of the first and last row. Floats must be attached to the top cord. But special weights are attached to the lower cord.

Nets for feeding fish

The popularity of polyvinyl acetate nets is growing every year. They are a must-have equipment when fishing for carp. Such nets are needed to throw bait into a certain place. The net is a small bag that is filled with bait using a special tube. Before throwing the net into the pond, a hook with fish bait is hidden there.

A big advantage of polyvinyl acetate nets is the ability to dissolve in water. There are no traces of them left in the pond. There are 4 types of such nets on sale:

cellular;
solid;
drowning;
floating.

PVA nets can be purchased at any fishing store. Anyone can use them.

Despite the fact that fishing nets are widely considered a poaching fishing tool, interest in them is still high. This is understandable: the volume of catch obtained using nets is always significant, and amateur gear, as a rule, cannot compete with them. But you also need to use networks skillfully; they also have their secrets.

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:

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

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.

You can also set a net by throwing it into the water using a weight tied to the net's weight cord. The second end of the cord must be firmly fixed to the shore. This method is the most risky, as there is a high risk of tangling and breaking the gear.

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.

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:

Shuttle.
Template (bar).
Fishing line or cord from which the mesh is knitted.
Loads.
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.

A template or plank is a piece of a ruler, a piece of plywood, plastic, etc. With its help, cells are formed, knots are knitted and threads are fixed during knitting. Template size: length 10-12 cm, thickness - 3 mm, width depends on the planned mesh size. One turn around the template should be equal to twice the mesh size.

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.

After finishing the knitting, cords are pulled through the upper and lower cells. Floats are attached to the upper cord, and sinkers are attached to the lower cord. Floats are special, elongated, spindle-shaped, with a hole along the axis. A smooth cord is threaded through this hole.

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.

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:

Solid.
Cellular.
Floating.
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.

Therefore, when going out to the pond, remember both the natural resources that we must protect and our fellow fishermen, so as not to spoil their fishing with annoying cliffs and loss of bait.

Compared to amateur fishing nets, which are represented in Russia by dozens of names (Chameleon, Corona, Barracuda, Neptune, Vimba, Meridian, Crystal and many other names and brands, not to mention Chinese ones), nets for professional fishing, intended for coastal sea fishing, as well as fishing in inland waters of Russia, are piecemeal and are presented on the Russian market mainly by Japanese nets CHAMELEON PROFI.

Manufacturer of networks CHAMELEON PROFI

These nets are directly manufactured and equipped in Japan at the plant of MOMOI FISHING, a world leader in the production of net fabrics (the company is over 100 years old). CHAMELEON PROFI networks embody the basic operating principle of MOMOI FISHING - high quality and accessibility to fishermen, as well as compliance with the high standards of Japanese fishing gear.

Purpose of CHAMELEON PROFI networks

These nets are good for catching such fish as: chum salmon, pink salmon, masu salmon, coho salmon, sockeye salmon, chinook salmon, mykiss, salmon, salmon, nelma, muksun, taimen, as well as for commercial fishing of any large and strong fish. For example, they have proven themselves well when fishing for pike perch on Lake Ladoga.

The basis of CHAMELEON PROFI networks

The basis of any network is the network fabric. The diameter (thickness) of the monofilament thread (fishing line) in the fabrics used is 0.52 mm. In recent years, multi-monofilament thread (twisted line) 0.20x6 has also been used. For the production of PROFI fishing nets, we use CHAMELEON net fabrics from the Japanese concern Momoi Fishing Net Mfg Co., Ltd (www.momoi.co.jp), which is a world leader in the production of net fabrics from monofilament and multi-monofilament (twisted fishing line) thread, as well as nylon ( nylon) thread. The production of Chameleon mesh fabrics is certified by the international quality standard ISO 90002. This is truly Japanese quality!

According to reviews from Russian fishermen, Chameleon fishing line and nylon nets, in terms of their characteristics, are currently the best among the nets available on the modern Russian market.

Color (painting) of networks CHAMELEON PROFI

The color of the net fishing line is gray (smoky). It should be noted here that MOMOI FISHING has patented a unique “Chameleon” coating, which can significantly reduce the visibility of the netting in the water and increase catchability by 15-20%.

Features of CHAMELEON PROFI networks

Features of Chameleon PROFI fishing nets made from fishing line are as follows:

double knot of mesh fabric;
thermal fixation of network nodes;
special coating that reduces the visibility of the net in water;
monofilament thread of increased strength;
resistance of the mesh fabric to UV radiation and sea water;
high resistance to tearing and wear;
equipment - single or double Danline cord.

PROFI networks are equipped with a manual method (method of landing on a flint).

Upper selection (floating cord equipped with floats) of CHAMELEON PROFI nets

With a network height of 4.5 m: The top pick is equipped with L-100 floats using Danline 6.0 mm single twist line or Danline 2x4.0 mm double twist line. The distance between the L-100 floats in both cases is 1.6 m, and each float is additionally fixed on the selection. L-100 floats have a buoyancy of 100 g. and are used at depths up to 50 m.

With a network height of 5.0m and 6.0m: The top pick-up is equipped with N-22 floats using Danline 2x5.0 mm or 2x4.5 mm double twist cord. Double Danline cord with different twist directions (S and Z) gives additional strength, perfect balance and eliminates twisting of the picks.

The distance between N-22 floats for fishing nets with a height of 5.0 m and 6.0 m is 1.9 m and 1.6 m, respectively. N-22 floats have a buoyancy of 290 g and are used at depths of up to 50 m.

Equipping fishing gear with N-22 floats is a traditional way of equipping fishing nets in Japan and the Far East.

Floats L-100 and N-22 are made of synthetic rubber at the plant of the Japanese company MOMOI FISHING. They have high strength and low hygroscopicity, and are resistant to sea water and ultraviolet radiation. They can be used at great depths.

Some PROFI fishing nets, instead of the L-100 float, are equipped with a Y-8 float, which is similar in shape to the L-100 float, but is made of rubber, which allows the net to be used at a depth of up to 150 m.

The design of the upper selection of PROFI nets has a long service life (up to 10 years), so it can be repeatedly used in the manufacture of new fishing nets. Reusing a floating net reduces the cost of a new fishing net by up to 20%.

Depending on the type of equipment of PROFI fishing nets, the lower selection consists of single (type 1 equipment) or double (type 2) Danline cord.

These two types have no fundamental differences in use and are chosen by fishermen depending on their preferences.

Type 1. The bottom harness consists of a single Danline 6.0mm twist cord. With this type of bottom harness, fishing nets are made with the following heights and lengths:

Height 4.5 m; length 30 m.
Height 5.0 m; length 50 m.
Height 6.0 m; length 50 m.

Type 2. The bottom line consists of a double Danline cord 2x3.5 mm and 2x4.0 mm depending on the size of the fishing net:

Net height 4.5 m; length 30 m: bottom pick-up - double twisted cord Danline 3.5 mm
Network height 5.0 m; length 50 m: bottom pick-up - double twisted cord Danline 4.0 mm
Network height 6.0 m; length 50 m: bottom pick-up - double twisted cord Danline 4.0 mm

Since danline cord of neutral buoyancy is used as the bottom line, therefore, before setting the net, it is necessary to load the net, based on the fishing conditions.

The absence of loading of the lower selection allows expand the scope of application of PROFI networks. They can be used as: a floating drift net, for pelagic fishing, or used as a bottom net under any fishing conditions - both in the absence of a current and in a current of any strength.

In addition, the lack of loading also allows minimize transport costs when delivering these networks to distant regions of Russia.

To load the lower selection of PROFI fishing nets, you can use split net weights “Cylinder”, which are easily attached to the lower cord, and you can also use a cargo (weighting) cord by tying it to the lower cord.

The choice of loading option depends on the specific fishing conditions. The lifting capacity of the upper harness (floating cord) of PROFI networks allows the use of any load.

Features of the care and operation of CHAMELEON PROFI networks

Fishnet Chameleon PROFI practically does not become polluted during the fishing process, it is easy to clean, allowing it to be used even if there is debris or a large number of organic particles in the water: during blooms of water, during the spring flood, when the current carries with it a large amount of dirt and debris.

Between the mesh pitch and the length of the fish, Professor F.I. Baranov in 1923 established a relationship expressed by the following formula:

a = k 1 L

Where a – the desired mesh pitch; k 1 – coefficient depending on the ratio of the maximum coverage of the fish and its length; L – length of the fish.

Coefficient k | is assumed to be equal for wide fish (carp, bream, crucian carp, silver bream, etc.) on average – 0,20 ; for medium-sized fish (roach, whitefish, puzanok, muksun, ram, etc.) – 0,15 ; for narrow fish (pike perch, pike, mullet, mackerel) – 0,10 . Further, more detailed studies made it possible to clarify the coefficients of commercial fish (Table 1).

In accordance with the above formula we find:

a = 0.11 x 45 ≈ 5.0 cm.

What kind of fish will a net with a 40 mm mesh catch? According to the formula

L = a/k 1 calculate L = a/k 1 = 40/0.18 = 220 mm = 22 cm

Naturally, with a net you can catch fish not only of the sizes that are calculated according to calculations, but also those close to them.

Table 1

Coefficients of the relationship between the maximum coverage of fish and its length

The relationship between the mesh pitch and the size of the fish can also be expressed through the mass of the fish (m):

For a group of wide fish the mass coefficient will be 7, for medium ones – 6, for narrow ones – 5.

What mass of roach will be caught in nets with a mesh pitch of 36 mm?

Roach is a medium-sized fish for which the mass coefficient is 6. From the formula we find:

Determine the mesh pitch of a net for catching bream weighing 1 kg.

Bream is a wide fish, for which the mass coefficient will be equal to 7. From the formula we find:

Net fishing

According to the method of application, there are fixed nets, river flowing nets and sea drift nets. Depending on the depth of setting the nets are called upper, pelagic or bottom. According to their design features, networks are divided into simple ones - single-walled, multi-walled (2-3-walled) or cut and framed.

Simple networks(Fig. 4) are a flat mesh fabric placed on the upper and lower selections, and sometimes strands - pieces of thin rope or mesh attached to the mesh fabric to increase local strength. The length of the strands is 20% less than the height of the net in the planting. The vertical position of the nets in the water is ensured by equipping them with floating and weights. The height of the network is usually expressed by the number of cells. Typically, the height of 18-25-meter partial nets is 25-30 meshes, herring and belly nets - 30-45, large mesh nets, for example for flounder fishing, only 9-12. Nets are planted with a coefficient of 0.5-0.67.

Rice. 4. Simple fixed net installed on stakes

Cut or multi-walled nets (two- or three-walled) consist of several mesh fabrics, planted on the same selections (Fig. 5).

One of the canvases - the middle one - is calculated based on catchability conditions. Its landing is done with a lower coefficient to make the network even softer and more tangled. The mesh in this cloth corresponds to the size of the fish being caught, and the cloth is called a piece, in contrast to a cloth with a larger mesh called rezhyo. The size of the rezhi cell is 4-5 times larger than the particle cell. The length of the flint is assumed to be equal to the size of the cutting mesh.

Rice. 5. Fixed marine three-wall net.

The net is set partially towards the fish, which passes through the large mesh of the net and becomes entangled in the resulting bag. Despite their high catchability, such nets become twisted when there is a mass movement of fish and therefore have limited use.

Frame nets are a mesh fabric equipped with a rope binding. The planting of the mesh fabric is very dense with a coefficient of 0.3-0.4. As a result, the tension of the threads is low, and the net hangs freely in the windows of the frame. Frame dimensions are assumed to be 400-800 mm. When making frame nets, the net fabric is first placed on pick-ups. Then, along the canvas, through each cell, 3-7 longitudinal veins are passed at an equal distance from each other and from the selection. The ends of the longitudinal veins are attached to the side ones. The same is done with the transverse veins. At places of intersection, the longitudinal and transverse veins are fastened together (Fig. 6).

Rice. 6. Top pick-up and side strands of the frame network.

Depending on the depth, the nature of the soil and the strength of the currents, the installation of nets is carried out on poles (at a depth of 2-3 m), on chips (pegs 60-80 cm high driven into the bottom) and on anchors.

Networks can be installed either individually or in orders of several interconnected networks. There is also a method of installing nets using a weather vane (2 nets each), when the guy is placed on only one side, which allows you to change the direction of installation of the nets depending on the direction and strength of the currents.

Smooth river fishing

A flowing river net is a fishing gear that floats downstream towards the movement of the fish (Fig. 7). The length of such nets in planting varies greatly in different rivers and can range from 50-70 to 300-600 m. The height of the nets also varies - from 1.5 to 8 m.

Rice. 7. Floating net

The landing factor is 0.5. To increase catchability, the netting cloth is sometimes placed only on the upper selection, while the lower one hangs freely. Such nets are called self-propelled nets. The location of the nets during rafting is regulated by the size of the floats and sinkers.

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 point 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.

Let's say we are interested in catching whitefish with nets 500-600 mm long, for such fish we need a net with a mesh of 70-75 mm, and for catching pike perch of the same size, it will be enough to buy a net with a mesh of 50-60 mm.

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 are traditional high-strength threads for nets;
monofilament thread (monofilament) - transparent fishing line made from a single polyester fiber;
multi-monofilament thread (multi-monofil) – a transparent thread twisted from several mono-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 examples 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 networks are made from all three types of materials: nylon, monofilament line and multi-monofilament line. Depending on the planting, they are divided into groups: Chameleon STANDART(machine landing for rebounds), Chameleon EXTRA(manual landing), Chameleon SPRUT(three-wall hand-planted). 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.
