Fishing Nets

In this category you will find our wide range of high quality fishing nets. We offer both pre-assembled nets that are ready to use, and unassembled nets that give you the freedom to customize and assemble them to your own wishes.

Fishing with nets is one of the oldest and most traditional fishing methods in the world, and it is still used both on the coast and in the open sea.

 At Frydendahl you will find Denmark's largest selection of fishing nets, so whether you are a professional fisherman or a recreational fisherman, you can find the net that best suits your fishing needs.

 

Types of fishing nets

Fishing nets are, in general, divided into two types, bottom gill nets and drift nets. The choice of net depends on what fish you want to catch and where in the water they are located.

 

Bottom Gill nets

Bottom gill nets are designed for fish that live close to the seabed – for example cod, flounder and plaice. The nets are tied together into a row, which is anchored with an anchor at each end. A marker buoy in the surface ensures that the row is kept in place and is easy to find again.

 

Drift nets

Floating nets, also called drift nets, are designed to lie on the surface of the water and hang down vertically like a curtain. They are used to catch fish that live close to the surface, such as herring, salmon and trout. Unlike bottom gill nets, they are not attached by anchors, but float freely. To ensure visibility and safety, they are always clearly marked – often with lights and radar reflectors.

Environmental nets - Fishing nets mounted on used lines

The production of mounted fishing nets at Frydendahl is of course carried out in an environmentally friendly manner. This means that before reassembly, the incoming floating and sinking lines are sorted so that only lines of usable quality are reused. The sorted lines are sent for regeneration.
