The SuperBaiter baits up to 6 hooks a second – with a precision of 98 %.
When the first buoys and anchors are thrown overboard, the lines are pulled from the storage magazines through the baiting machine. Setting speed can vary between 6 and 10 knots (3-6 hooks per second), depending on the spacing between the hooks. A patented baiting system secures accurate baiting of every single hook that passes through the system, independent of setting speed. The baiting machine is operated by one man, who feeds bait fish into the baiting section.
A fully automatic LineSetter pulls the line through the baiting machine at a constant speed. Monitoring of the shooting process is achieved with LineController™, a specially designed computer-based system.
