Fishing nets and fishing gear (such as fishing cages) made up of fishing nets are consumables. Learning the correct storage method will prolong their service life. Both nylon and polyethylene mesh have low resistance to ultraviolet rays. After prolonged exposure to the sun, the strength will decrease and chalking will occur. Under normal circumstances, some anti-ultraviolet materials (UV) are added to the raw materials of fishing nets, but the loss rate is still high. In addition to the natural loss of sunlight, fishing nets are also prone to breakage due to their limited structural strength during use. Hole. Therefore, in order to increase the use time of fishing nets, it is necessary to learn how to store and make up fishing nets and fishing cages.
After the fishing nets and cages are used, they should first be cleaned to remove mud and fish greasy attachments. Secondly, the metal parts that are prone to rust (such as sinkers) should be removed to prevent them from rusting the mesh. The metal parts of the fishing cage are usually electroplated or plastic (sprayed, overmolded), and damage should be avoided during use. Then there is the drying net. When drying the net, avoid direct sunlight. When conditions permit, choose a spacious, ventilated, and dry place for hanging.
It is worth noting that the fishing nets after drying should not be placed directly on the ground, but should be placed on a rack about half a meter from the ground or placed in a wooden box. The place should be kept ventilated and dry. If it is rainy or cloudy, the door should be closed tightly to prevent the fishing nets from getting damp. At the same time, the fishing nets should be prevented from being gnawed by rats and insects during storage, and the work of extermination and insect prevention should be done well. There should be no other volatile and corrosive chemicals in the place where the fishing nets are stored.
