Precision Baiting with the 3400 E-Line AutoBaiter
The 3400 E-Line AutoBaiter is a high-speed, precision baiting machine designed to streamline your fishing operations. Capable of baiting 210 hooks per minute (three and a half hooks per second), this advanced system ensures consistent and accurate baiting, improving efficiency and catch rates.
Designed for speed and precision, the all-electric auto-baiter baits up to 3.5 hooks per second with RotoBait™ accuracy. It supports multiple hook types—including Circle, EZ Baiter, and offset—and features adjustable bait sizing for optimal performance. Seamlessly compatible with PLC systems and hydraulic components, it also integrates effortlessly with MagPacker, Cross Ship Rails, and HandyMag. With low maintenance needs, satellite-enabled remote troubleshooting, and a compact, eco-conscious design, this Norwegian-made solution sets a new standard in automated longlining.
How It Works
- Precision baiting: Baitfish is placed on a spiked conveyor chain, which feeds it into the machine.
- Consistent sizing: A built-in knife cuts the bait to a pre-set size (26mm-32mm), ensuring uniform pieces.
- Double hooking for secure baiting: The hook penetrates the bait twice for a firm hold before being shot over the stern.
Compact & Flexible Design
The MA BM 3400 AutoBaiter is designed as a part of the E-Line Coastal System, seamlessly integrating with the manual MagPacker and HandyMag storage magazines. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for vessels with limited space. An integrated waste collector keeps operations clean and efficient.
Versatile Hook Compatibility
The system supports: EZ/J-hooks: Sizes 11/0 to 15/0 and Circle hooks: Sizes 12/0 to 14/0 (both straight and offset)
With its high-speed performance, precision cutting, and compact design, the MA BM 3400 E-Line AutoBaiter is the ideal choice for commercial fishing operations looking to maximize efficiency and consistency.

Product Information
HookSeparator Electric or Hydraulic
The main function of the HookSeparator SP2010 is to separate the hoooks from the mainline and guide them onto the storage magazines. This is done automatically as the line is hauled onboard. The HookSeparator is also a slack taker keeping tension on the line coming from the main hauler.
Catch Rate
The HookSeparator’s exceptional efficiency comes from its powerful magnets. These magnets reliably catch the hooks and separate them from the mainline, guiding them smoothly into the magazine for optimal organization and handling.
High-Quality Components
The main body is built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, while the sheaves are made from a lightweight durable aluminum composite. A spring-loaded pressure wheel ensures consistent grip on the line. Additionally, the specially designed hook guide minimizes wear on both hooks and gear, ensuring smooth and efficient re-racking.
High-Pressure Water Jet
An integrated high-pressure water jet cleans hooks and line before storage. The water-induced vibration also helps untwist snoods from the mainline, improving catch rate and preventing tangles.
