LineController™

LineController™

LineController™ is a computer-based control and data storage system designed specially for longlining.

Catch rate improved

The catch rate is improved and the loss of gear is minimized by use of the system. The system consists of software, sensors, hardware and touch screen monitors for easy operation.

 Recording

During setting of the gear following is recorded:

• Position using GPS
• Time
• Setting speed
• Depth
• Baiting percentage

Earned back in short time

Since we are now able to immediately see if something is wrong with the baiting, we save a lot of bait and catch more fish. I don’t see why every longliner shouldn’t have this for their baiter. The investment cost was earned back in a very short time.
