ALBIUS, SAPMER (FR) fishing with E-Line for toothfish since 2022

We have been working with the all-electric longline fishing system for 2 years now.

After these months of operation we have not had any major problems. Working on deep waters (2000 meters) we asked Mustad for adjustments to the reactivity of the hauler. It is obvious that the electric control is precise and sensitive. The different settings make it possible to optimize the behavior of the vessel in relation to waves and the speed of the line retrieval.

For sailors, captains and chief engineers, this generation of electrical system is well thought out. The baiting process is the greatest advantage. We can use multiple bait sizes and change hook sizes very easily.

I also want to commend the Mustad after-sales service technician team. They are professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with!
