INTRODUCTION
This lesson deals with the identification of tools and classification of twine
used in weaving a net.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
1. Tools are identified according to their use; and
2. Materials are classified in accordance with the prescribed specification.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Lacing joining net parts by passing twine to the mesh without

adding another mesh
Strand composed of three or more yarns twisted together,
also called as ‘ply’
Synthetic fibers are formed by combining the chemicals and alcohol to
produce plastic products
Yarn the second unit of twine; it is composed of fibers
twisted together
 INFORMATION SHEET 1

A net is made from different materials. The specifications of the net

materials are dependent on its purpose and uses, whether it is used for
fishing gear or sports accessory gear.

Tools Used in Net Weaving

1. Shuttle mesh/ Netting needle

- it holds the twine which goes in and out to

make more meshes, it is made from plastic,
copper, horn of animal and bamboo.

2. Mesh gauge

-it is used to keep the size of meshes in

uniform; this tool is made from plastic and
bamboo

3. Cutter/Trimmer

-it is used for cutting the twine

 Material Used in Net Weaving

Twine

It is a strong thread, string, or cord composed of

two or more strands twisted together.

Fibers are the smallest unit of twine.

Parts of a Twine

Classification of Fibers

Fibers are generally classified into two: natural fibers and artificial or man-
made fibers. Natural fibers are taken from three sources such as: 1) minerals, 2)
animals, and 3) vegetables. Wire fibers are from the hair of a sheep, while the
cotton, kapok, ramie, hemp, and abaca fibers are from the bodies, fruits, and
leaves of plants.

Man-made or artificial fibers are known as synthetic fibers. The following

are examples of synthetic fibers:

a. Polyvinyl Chloride PVC (Teviron)

b. Polyvinyl Alcohol PVA (Kuralon)
c. Polyamide PA (Nylon, Perlon, and Kapron)
d. Polyvinyliden Chloride PVD (Saran, Kureharon)
e. Polyester PES (Tetoron and Terelene)
f. Polypropylene PP (Pylen)
g. Polyethylene PE (Coulene, Hizex)
 Common Types and Forms of Synthetic Fibers

Synthetic fibers are manufactured in the following common forms and

types.

1. Monofilament Fibers. These are the single filament fibers. An example of

this fiber is transparent polyamide PA (commercially known as nylon,
perlon, kapron, amilan, and rilisan). These are commonly used for gill
nets, line fishing, and ropes.
2. Continuous Filament Fibers. These are thinner filaments of silk-like
fibers having infinite length. These fibers are formed to make filament yarn
or thread. The yarns are gathered up to form a strand. Examples of these
fibers are polyamide, polyester, and polyvinyl chloride.
3. Staple Fibers. These fibers are usually prepared by cutting filaments into
40mm to 120mm which are bound to form a yarn which has similar
appearance to cotton yarns. The hairy nature of the twine decreases the
slippage of knots. An example of this yarn is polyvinyl alcohol (kuralon).
4. Split Fibers. These fibers are from plastic tapes which are stretched during
manufacturing. The yarn made of these split fibers are similar to natural
hard or bast fibers. Examples of these fibers are polypropylene and
polyethylene.

Common Uses of Synthetic Fibers in Fishing

The following synthetic fibers are commonly used in the different fishing
gear:

1. Polyamide (Nylon). The continuous filament type of this fiber is

commonly used for gill net and seine net. This is used for seizing and
lacing twine. The staple form fiber of this kind is commonly used in
trawl net-making and rope construction.

2. Polythylene (PE). This fiber is commonly used for rope construction and
trawl net making.

3. Polyester (Tetoron). This fiber is used in most purse seine, dip net, and
small-scale set nets use this kind of fiber long line fishing.

4. Polyvinyliden Chloride (Saran). This fiber is mostly used in large-scale

set net.

5. Polyvinyl Alcohol (Vinylon). The continuous multi-filament fiber of this

kind is mostly used in dip net, purse seine net, small-scale set net, and
gill net. The staple fiber type is commonly used in purse seine, bottom
trawl net, ropes, and long line gear construction.

The durability of the net is based on the chemical, physical and biological
properties of the netting materials used in the construction.
