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.
Mustad Longline provide robust storage magazines in aluminium and acid-proof stainless steel with complete sliding rail, inspection slits and hatches for simple mounting of hooks/snoods.
The magazines take all types of hooks and lines, and are easily adapted to different hook types and sizes by adjusting the top rail. The standard magazines range from 1 m. to 4.5 m. in length.
The storage magazines are situated between the hook separator and the baiting machine. There are various ways of positioning the magazines when full, for example, either longitudinally in line along the ship’s rail, or the more common solution of storing them transversely in rows.
The optimum position for the storage magazines will depend on the deck space available. Mustad Longline can assist you to find the optimum configuration; whether you want to store your magazines in a MagPacker Deep Sea or on cross ship rails.
