LineSetter

LineSetter

A LineSetter pulls the line through the baiting machine.

Baiting performance improved

The constant speed will improve baiting performance, especially in rough weather. The catch rate will increase because the line will follow bottom contours more closely. A slack line will sink faster and reduce incidental catch of seabirds.

Compact

The LineSetter is a compact unit, which is installed behind the baiting machine. The line passes between two sheaves which pull it through the baiting machine at a constant speed. Hydraulic power is drawn from existing power supply.

Adjustable speed

The setting speed is adjustable from the baiting station. Baited hooks are funneled to one side to prevent them going through the sheaves, which have the added benefit of improving crew safety.
