The production machines for fish hooks was never patented, but kept secret by means of closed doors for 125 years. Only those few people responsible for the production were allowed entrance to the building.
By means of a line hauler, the line is hauled over a rail roller through a hook cleaner. The fish is removed from the hooks in front of the hook cleaner. A line retriever is simplifying the hauling process and reduces the wear on other hauling components. The line is then pulled through a guide tube to the storage system.
