In some markets Mustad is in fact the word used for a fish hook.
The SuperBaiter does automatically:
The bait is placed on a conveyor chain which feeds it into the machine. When the hooks are pulled through the machine, the knife is triggered when the hook passes and the bait piece is cut. The hook is double baited before it is shot over the stern.
We upgraded to SuperBaiter 3 years ago. Now we set 20 more lines pr day, which means 500 kilos more fish in the same period of time. Over the last years it has proven very reliable, resulting in less maintenance and reduced spare part usage.

The SuperBaiter makes the bating much more stable. The baits are all equal size and the baiting percentage is way up - even in bad weather. There are less stops and my setting speed has increased with 1.5 knots, resulting in 4000 more hooks in the water each day. It has also resulted in much lower maintenance - both in time and spare parts.
