Fishing gear materials (fishing gear material) is directly used to make fishing gear materials, including wire mesh, rope, etc.. Among them, the network cable and net piece is also known as net material. Generalized fishing materials include all kinds of fishing gear materials used in manufacturing raw materials, many kinds, fiber materials, steel and plastic. Among them, the most important is the fiber material. It is making an important raw material for cable, mesh and rope, materials constitute the entire fishing (especially the fishing net) accounted for the largest proportion.

Different types of fishing gear, according to their fishing the characteristics and operation principle, the performance of fishing gear materials the requirements are different, however, there are some common requirements. Wire, mesh and rope and other materials should have the general characteristics: quality is light, wet with Lei fracture strength and knot strength, elongation, good elasticity, flexibility and stiffness, small water absorbent and shrinkage, good light resistance, light resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance and resistance to chemical corrosion, and on fungi, aquatic organism attachment and bite the resistance. These properties are generally referred to as fishing performance. The performance of materials is directly related to the structural performance, fishing fishing performance, use period and operation efficiency.

Fishing gear material properties with the exception of raw material and semi product features is mainly determined in the structure, manufacture method and workers dare index of rationality, and post processing for some special requirements and the implementation of the processing method, such as oil stain and resin treatment of dyeing finishing and heat set type.

Fishing with fibrous material mainly has two major categories of plant fiber and synthetic fiber, plant fiber has certain physical and mechanical properties, yield rich, low price, in the 20th century, 40 years ago, almost all nets, mesh and rope cable are all made from plant fibers. This kind of fiber are mainly cotton, hemp, flax, ramie, Abaca (Manila), sisal (Agave), palm, coconut fiber and straw and other, because it is the main component of cellulose, can be used in the water, vulnerable to bacterial cellulose decomposition corrosion and destruction. Therefore, made from plant fiber nets must can be used by the dry, oil stain anticorrosive processing side, and use period is also short, with the labor consumption and economic benefits low shortcomings.

After 40 years in twentieth Century, the synthetic fiber began to apply in the fishery. The main animal of this kind of fiber is not decomposed, the breaking strength is high, the high quantity is light, etc.. Practice has proved that the application of synthetic fiber in fishery, to improve gear strength, endurance and fish won the efficiency aspects have important role. In the present fishery, synthetic fiber is almost replaced by the traditional plant fiber, which has become one of the most important technological revolution in the contemporary fishery.

The main composition of the fish is: polyamide fiber (PA), polyester fiber (PES), polyethylene fiber (PE), polypropylene fiber (PP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and two vinyl chloride fiber (PVD). The first four categories in the world fishery is the most widely used, after three due to poor physical mechanical properties, fishery application is not a common, the fifties of the 20th century, Japan had tried to make ropes and nets, now also not much.

Fishing with synthetic fiber generally made of four basic forms: filament, short fiber, filament and split fibre. Dacron products of different types of fibers, the properties and applications are also different to the filament, monofilament and split fiber membrane products of fish with the best performance. Membrane fiber is a new type of fiber which is invented in recent years. It originates from a kind of plastic bar, which is used to split into a number of thick and thin fibers, which is mainly used to make ropes and wire mesh.

Sink and float (and to higher utilization rate in world fisheries technology development, in addition to the promotion of the use of synthetic fiber, also improved the material structure and manufacturing process, such as the knotless net application not only can save raw materials, but also improve the network performance, in recent years in the quadrilateral mesh structure of the mesh based on the development and application of the mesh hexagonal mesh mesh, wire rope by twisting method development for the preparation of the method, and according to the fishery development requirements of the hybrid materials composed of rope like a thorn online using floating Gang sinking rope), improve the product technical performance and use performance.
