Aleutian Cod Trawl
A 2-panel, low-opening trawl which selectively catches Cod and Sole while allowing unwanted species to pass overhead. This net can be towed fast with a heavy footrope while maintaining continuous bottom contact.
Features
- Two-bridle design for quick, easy handling and low maintenance.
- Low-stretch, high-strength riblines support codend loads.
- Net may be fitted with varying footrope styles to "fine-tune" it to particular fish species and grounds.
