Eliminate the Risk of Purse Rings Ripping Your Net
-
It is common for other types of roller rings, or the old-style snap rings, to lose their “snap” and become a hook that rips the net. This can result in thousands of dollars of lost revenue by one or more of the following occurrences.
- The boat must return to port to fix the damaged net.
- The boat must purchase and install new very expensive bales of net.
- The boat loses fishing time while repairing the net.
- The boat loses fish that escape through the hole in the ripped net.
Increase Your Catch Through Deeper Pursing
-
It is common for the old-style snap rings to ride on the cable to the surface. This causes the chain on each end of the net to be lifted up, which creates an opening for the fish to escape.
Increase the Life of Your Purse Cable
-
It is common knowledge that metal rings grinding against a metal cable will cause premature failure of both the cable and the rings.
Increase Your Pursing Speed
-
This is especially important when a vessel has limited hydraulic power. Excessive friction between the purse cable and the purse rings slow down the pursing operation, causing slower pursing speed.
