Gear up for success in longline fishing

Bait cutter

A dependable power-horse, the bait cutter is perfect for automating bait sizing.

Fabricated from top-grade stainless steel, it guarantees long lasting use. The hardy 12-edged blades offer efficient and accurate cuts, ensuring each piece is just the right size for an optimal catch.

It also is the best companion to the Twin and Mono Baiter that you can find in our product range. It also scores on the ease of maintenance and repair, making it a worthwhile addition to your fishing toolkit.

GEARING UP WITH MAGAZINES AND LINE PREPARERS

Hook magazines and line preparers are the workhorses of any longline fishing operation.

Hook magazines are constructed from high-quality stainless steel and are designed to store a large number of hooks, ranging from 250 to 310 hooks, depending on the size of the hooks. These magazines facilitate easy hook organization and accessibility throughout the fishing process.

Line preparers are equally crucial, aiding fishermen in efficiently readying their lines for deployment. These preparers help with untangling lines, when replacing and reshaping hooks on the lines, and when storing prepped lines in bins for later use.

Using a line preparer on land before heading out to sea can save time and effort during the fishing process, ensuring that lines are ready for deployment again as soon as possible.

Discover quality lines and hooks

Oilwind offers a comprehensive range of longline fishing essentials, including swivel lines, monofilament, and various hooks like circular, j-hooks, and jigg hooks. Swivel lines, a star product, reduce tangles by letting snoods un-twist as fish swim around the lines.

Snoods, sometimes also called branch lines, typically made of braided or monofilament line, are short lines connecting the main line and hooks.

Choosing the right mix of long lines, hooks, and snoods is key for optimal catch, efficiency, and sustainability. Our expert team is on standby, ready to guide you in making the best choices for your unique fishing requirements

The line diameter and type of line can have an impact on your catch rate, but there are as many perspectives on this matter as there are fishermen. The best thing to do is to seek advice from fishermen in your area, who should be able to give you good advice.
