We tie
all the sets ourselves using high quality materials. They are quite
labour intensive, so there is a limit to the quantity and speed of
production. We therefore suggest that you order early. As we tend to
"Make to Order" there could be a lead time of a couple of weeks before
we are able to despatch.
There are three types of "Ready
to Fish" gear we are able to supply :-
1) Mackerel Sets
A - "Fairwater" Range
Fairwater Fishing started off
supplying Heavy Monofilament Mackerel Sets to local fishing boats
which were using hydraulic gurdies and fish stripping equipment.
As the gear has proves so successful and popular, we now supply
commercial fishermen all over the UK and Ireland.
|
|
|
| |
|
All our gear is hand made
by skilled tiers here at Fairwater Fishing using quality, time tested
methods and materials, ensuring a neat finish which catches well, and
stands up to the extreme stresses and strains associated with
commercial handlining or jigging.
We use VMC Hooks and
Triplefish which are both long running trusted Companies supplying
time proven high quality products.
We try to hold as much
stock as possible.
However due to large number of possible variations,
and the high demand for these products, much of the time sets are tied
to order so please allow us a few days to complete before despatching
them to you.
Each "set"
consists of a single length of heavy monofilament line up to about 10
metres long, known as the "mainline", with knots tied in it at
specific intervals into which lighter "hook lengths" or "snoods" are
tied.
Each set we supply is
individually packed, and clearly labelled, for easy identification
with the following information :- |
|
|
| |
Number
of hooks,
Hook size,
Hook make and pattern,
Strength of hook length & mainline monofilament,
Spread or gap between the hooks,
Customers name. |
|
|
| |
Each set is tied with an
odd coloured bottom hook, so the user can quickly work out which way
up to set the line up.
|
 |
|
We create and supply
mackerel gear in three main strains for different applications.

B - "Osprey" Range

Our new "Osprey" Range of Mackerel
Sets are hand tied for us by a local experienced professional hook
tier. They are
assembled for us using quality materials which we at Fairwater
Fishing supply.
They incorporate VMC 9754 size
9 hooks, Bionix & Mitsubishi monofilament line, ribbon and coloured
PVC tubing.
Initially we are able to offer
"Osprey" sets of either 20 or 25 hooks with 145 lb (1.0mm) Bionix hook
snoods, tied on to a 200 lb (1.4mm) Mitsubishi monofilament mainline.
We aim to add lighter monofilament line options to this "Osprey" Range

| 2) Monofilament
Longline |
|
Monofilament longlines are
proving to be very popular with small boat fishermen targeting
Pollack and Bass inshore.
It is relatively cheap to set up, and the cost of the whole line is
covered by the first few fish caught.
The lines can be worked on a
small scale without machinery or modifications required to the vessel.These are very versatile as they
can be fished along the seabed, floating at or near the surface; or
anywhere in between for just about any species.
|
Hook snoods are attached to
swivels held in position on the mainline with beads and crimps, to give
a strong, neat and cost effective finish.
Anti-chaff tube is used wherever
possible to prevent wear on the mainline.
More and more fishermen are now
using these longlines with artificial baits.
|
|
 |
This removes the hassle associated
with first catching then storing any quantity of mackerel ( or similar
fish) on board.
This method requires the line to be anchored, as it relies on tidal
movement to make the lures "swim".
A selection of lures being used successfully in this way is available
on the "Lures" page. |
We also supply all the component parts loose for self assembly.
Our monofilament longlines are now
assembled with best quality all stainless steel swivels.
Each line is made from good quality 1.8mm (350 lbs) monofilament.
It is made up of five sections (20m approx), each with five hook
attachment points ( approx 4m apart), making a complete mainline that
is approx 100 m.
The monofilament longline is supplied alone. Hook length monofilament,
hooks, and/or artificial baits will have to be bought separately.
All are available on this site.

3) Single Rigged Gummimakk Lures for Pollack
|
|
|
| |
Jigging and trolling for Pollack is becoming increasingly popular
with commercial fishermen,
and there are many fishermen already earning an excellent
wage line-fishing
for Pollack.
Fairwater Fishing supplies a range of
"Ready
to
Fish"
Pollack lures,
suitable for handlining, gurdies, jigging machines, and trolling
with dive boards. |
 |
|
|
| |
 |
This is
our modern take on the traditional favorite Norwegian lure.
The usual barrel swivel is replaced with a better quality crane
swivel, and we use food grade ‘new generation’
silicone tube which is made especially for us here in the UK.
As well as being tough and tear resistant, it is memory free and
it is is softer and more supple than PVC.
Each lure is supplied ready rigged onto a section of monofilament
trace, with a joining swivel of the appropriate size.
Simply join together as many sections as required to make up the
length of trace with the number of lures you want to fish.
Stop-knotted joining ends allow very quick and easy joining knots
to be tied without the worry of knots slipping. |
|
|
| |
Actual
lure spread on set when fishing is approx 1 metre.
