The evolution of onboard electronic equipments (GPS, sonars, fishfinders) helps in discovering some new fishing areas and to use deep sea fishing techniques (trolling and bottom fishing). Based on the efforts required, fishing can be described as active (the device is in permanent movement through the water or across the seabed) or passive (the device is usually anchored or adrift for several hours).
Passive fishing devices
Passive fishing gear (passive art or freshwater fishing) consists of traps for fish, crustaceans, shellfish, etc., such as traps or pots, nets (gillnets or trammel nets) and longlines. They are usually anchored to the seabed.
Active fishing devices
Active fishing gear (dragging art) is towed during the fishing action to attract fish. This applies to lines for surface, bottom or pelagic fishing. The most common techniques are light and heavy trolling, drifting bottom fishing and the more sporty downrigger.
Our electric fishing reels will assist you in retrieving your trolling or bottom fishing lines.
Our electric haulers will help you haul up your longlines, pots and nets without any efforts and in complete safety.
