Coastal system with HandyMag storage

Storage & Organization; Hooks and lines are stored in magazines, placed in bins, racks, or other storage solutions. The storage unit is flexible and customizable to fit available space. Each magazine has a standard length of 1 meter (40 inches).

Baiting & Hauling; For baiting, magazines are manually retrieved and mounted as extensions to the baiting machine (Fig. 1: AutoBaiter with HandyMag transition rail). When emptied, they are replaced with pre-loaded magazines, and the empty ones are returned to storage.

During hauling, empty magazines are mounted as extensions to the hauling magazine on the hook separator (Fig. 2: HookSeparator with HandyMag transition rail).


NB Number of hooks per meter;  Please note that quantity of hooks stated in quotes is an estimate. Quantity per meter will always depend on thickness, age and quality of the hooks and line. Consequently these given numbers are to be taken as a guideline only and not as factual numbers.
