Profish: the trawling cable that doesn't make... coffee

Galvanized steel ropes, consisting of one or more layers of strands with a central metal core, are particularly suitable for those activities, such as trawling, carried out in marine environments where corrosion and oxidation phenomena are common.

The wire rope making specialist REMER has designed and manufactured PROFISH, a new type of rope designed to solve the most common causes of wear and break up of fishing ropes.

Why buy Profish?

1. Less oxidation
Since the strands are perfectly round, the corrosive effect of seawater on PROFISH ropes is lower.

2. Less friction: pulleys last longer
The pressure of the PROFISH ropes on the pulleys is significantly reduced because of the shape of the strands. This results in a longer life of the pulleys.

3. The cable does not make coffee...
When using classic ropes with a textile core, water tends to soak them and oxidize the cable from the inside. After some time, the cable releases a coffee-colored murky water.
Thanks to the plastic coated metal core, the PROFISH rope does not make coffee and is totally water-proof.

4. Starting again after the biological rest period without changing the ropes
The classic fishing rope oxidizes even when it remains unused on the winch.
During the biological rest period, a 30 days-long period per year when fishing is interdicted to allow the repopulation of marine fauna, the classic fishing rope keeps oxidizing. Thanks to the plastic coated metal core, the PROFISH rope remains perfectly intact when unused, for a quick and smooth restart at the end of the biological rest period.

5. Search for fish in larger areas
All technical characteristics being equal, the PROFISH rope has a smaller diameter.
This means that it is possible to wrap a longer rope on the same winch.

6. Fewer surprises
With PROFISH ropes you won’t have any bad surprises. Oxidation only affects the ropes on the outside, where it is easier to check their condition.

7. Longer life
Thanks to its special manufacturing construction, the PROFISH ropes last for 24 months under optimal conditions, compared to the 12 months of the classic fishing ropes.
