Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent Buoyancy: Polypropylene is lighter than water, making this rope naturally buoyant. Perfect for surface applications like headline floats for fishing nets, longlines, marker buoys, and lobster pot lines.
- Zero Water Absorption: Does not become heavier, weaker, or rot when submerged, ensuring consistent performance and longer service life.
- High Abrasion Resistance: Monofilament construction provides superior resistance to wear and tear from rocks, boat decks, and other abrasive surfaces.
- Rot, Mildew, and Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to degradation from saltwater, chemicals, oils, and biological factors.
- Cost-Effective: Offers a favorable balance of performance and cost, providing a durable and practical solution.
- 3-Strand Construction: Traditional twisted design is strong, easy to splice, and remains flexible even in cold conditions.
Common Fishery Applications
- Fishing Nets: Head ropes (float lines) and buoy lines
- Longlining: Mainline and buoy lines for surface longlines
- Aquaculture: Mooring lines, cage tie-downs, and general utility lines on fish farms
- Pot/Trap Fishing: Lines for lobster, crab, and fish traps
- General Marine Use: Dock lines, tow lines, and other general purpose uses on fishing vessels
Packaging & Shipping
